Retired Ontario Public Service employee, with approximately thirty years of leadership experience leading Branches, offering expert communication and client focus skills built during a successful career.
Seeking a part-time position and having reviewed the job application, I am confident that I will be successful as a Facility Attendant.
I appreciate the focus on supporting a healthy, fun, creative and active lifestyle for the Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans and their families, particularly as many members of my family, including my father have served in the military.
I am conscientious, reliable, pleasant and certainly capable of providing access to the facility, answering questions, patrolling the facility and ensuring everyone is safe while all rules/regulations are being followed.
