My strengths include attention to detail, analytical thinking, ability to work under pressure and to learn programs and processes. I am also detail orientated and driven with solid organisational skills.
Included in this are goal orientation, strong leadership and managerial skills, excellent work ethic, honesty, punctuality and loyalty.
