Summary
To whom it may concern. In response to the agriculture laborer inventory ad, I would like the opportunity to apply my abilities and strong work ethic, with long term commitment to Agriculture Canada. I am passionate about the environment, sustainability and scientific methods. I love working with my hands and have become an experienced technician, mechanic, production manager and laborer. Developed skills installing, maintaining and repairing mechanical and electronic equipment. Coordinating team work in dynamic environments and complex logistics planning while promoting a professional, solution-oriented atmosphere. I like to maintain clean organized work spaces for the health and safety as well as the productivity of the team.
As I continue to grow with the Ottawa Research And Development Center I remain increasingly grateful to be here and look forward to a continued partnership.
Thank you sincerely for your time and consideration.
