Summary

Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure the summer agronomy position. Ready to help team achieve company goals. I am eager to learn more about agronomy and apply what I have learnt over the course of my two years as a diploma student. I have no problems working long hours, and can be dependable to show up and maintain consistent, or improved work over the course of the summer. I am wanting to expand my knowledge in the agricultural workspace especially focusing in the agronomy and retail side of agriculture. I have heard many great things about Prairie Sky, demonstrating that you are a well respected company in the agricultural retail space. I would like to to be apart of such a respected company and team of people.
