Summary
My goal is to start a new career where I can earn a steady paycheck with benefits and eventually advance within the company. I can work any shift, as I am used to working long hours on my feet and have experience working unsupervised and independently if necessary. I have great people skills, reliable transportation, over 15 years of customer service, an outgoing personality and I am available to start immediately.

I am a very experienced professional Barber but it has become harder to support my family being self-employed. I need to find a steady income with benefits in a career where I can hopefully advance.
