| ADDITIONAL INFORMATION | All the companies I have worked for thus far have called me a very quick learner. I have outstanding writing skills (spelling, vocabulary, grammar, punctuation) that exceed those of most of my peers. Employers say I am a pleasure to work with, and I pride myself on both my personal and professional abilities. And for what it's worth, I can type at about 80 wpm. |
