I love to work in this company because According to me company seems good for me. This
association needs a driving special and slightest 2 years' experience which I met. I am interested
in this job because they require me to go about as a close-by driver which is gainful for me. I do
have experience in truck driving job as I use to deliver furniture on 53 feet truck in my old job. I
done my study in General Business from Saint Lawrence College and I take the training of
driving truck from canadaian truck driving school. I got capacities, experiences, for instance,
orchestrating the supply and reestablishment of things in perspective of stock level, appreciate
normal activities and besides about spending organization. With such experience, I have
expanded brilliant aptitudes in working up a comfortable relationship with teammates and
moreover a strong ability to pass on, energizes, and directs them in their businesses. I believe
those qualities bought to contribute out and out to the accomplishment of your association. I used
to play chess in my spare time and as I like to organize things as it look good if it is on its right
place. Moreover sometimes I go with my friend on his truck when he has to go for delivery so
that I can get more experience about trucking job, which will help me in my future job. As per
my thinking working in a group is much better than working individually. There is always a
better result in group work as compare to individual work and so far whenever I work in group I
always learn something new and good .I follow instructions well. I ask questions for
clarification. I recognize criticism as an opportunity to improve my performance. I always take
instructions and criticism with a positive attitude because I know it will only benefit me at
performing my job I will always learn something new in my everyday life and I love driving so
this job will be perfect for me. I choose this line because in this job no one will be there to push u
to do work fast its a comfortable job moreover I can also travel to different places and in this job
I will interact with lot of new people and learn lot of new things. I really work well in pressure
and tight deadline as in my last job sometimes I used to work in pressure and tight deadlines
because sometimes there are lot of deliverys in small period of time. I just sleep 4-5 hrs
everyday in order to complete my work before deadline. I think I am good in working in pressure
and tight deadlines. In my last job I do not take too much leaves I just take 2 days leave as I get
flue due to change of weather and I never get serious injury and dont have any health problem.
No I never get fired or never quit my job. I just completed my study recently from trucking
school and looking for a good job and find your job posting and think this job will be perfect for
me. My career goal is to establish my own company one day as I always want to be entrepreneur.
My greatest strength is my hard work and my passion to make my career goals come true. My
only weakness is I dont have much knowledge and skills for establishing a trucking company as
entrepreneur so I have to work under a company and gain as much knowledge as I can. Before I
was a student so I didnt work full time but yeah I used to have a part time job. My employer at
that job was really good, cooperate and always helpful and always try to give their employees a
comfort environment for work. I would say the only five words that describe me are adaptive,
energetic, intelligent, responsive, and caffeinated. In my last job my co-workers are really good,
cooperate and helpful. Environment in that company was really comfortable. I just leave my last
job because I was just working part time so now I want a full time job so I am looking forward
for a good job. My long range goals are to be a successful entrepreneur in trucking company. I
used to work with machines like forklift, reach. I am looking for 50,000$ to 55,000$ annually.
As a trucking company you understand what life is like out on the road. Your company strives to
build new partnerships, based on trust and reliability. Your company value your customers and
drivers take pride in maintaining mutually beneficial relationships. Your company is one of the
best company in your competitors. We already discuss everything so I dont think so any of my
skill or experience left that we did not discuss.
I HOPE SO THAT I HAD INCLUDED EACH AND EVERY THING IN THIS
