F. PERSONAL CAPABILITIES
I’m a hardworking; honest and dedicated individual and
will always try my utmost in whatever I do. I have an
enquiring mind and always have the urge to know more. I
prefer working with honest, motivated, and dedicated
people and belief in teamwork. The issue that perturbs me
the most is people abusing me, lying to me and wrongfully
accusing me.
I hereby declare that everything in this curriculum vita is
correct and true.
