I would like to fit into a company for a long-term period. I have many skills that will benefit the right employer. I have been looking for companies that can respectively offer me work for more than a year. I have been ready to find my place somewhere that needs what I will bring to the table. I enjoy learning, and school is still an option if that is what I need but given the chance I believe that trade taught is still just as valuable as a degree in the field I work within. I want to be able to tell my wife and kids that I have a real job and not just work. What I am looking for is the right company that will benefit from my contribution as much as I will benefit from them, job security and a future with a company as well as opportunities for personal growth.
