So Why Should you Hire me?

I work hard; I enjoy being useful. In a work environment, though initially shy, I try to make people smile and feel good. I am very much a self-starter when it comes to learning opportunities. I have the capacity to become a SME in a variety of things. I am generally agreeable and am the type to figure out how to accomplish something rather than whine about how it can’t be done.
