My most important quality is never giving up. Even when a job is hard, I keep going. I have good endurance and perseverance. I believe in myself and like to push towards my limits.

Achievement is important in my personal life, but also in my career. When you get hired to do a job, you're expected to perform and to help deliver results. When I get hired, I understand my job is to help drive the company's bottom line.
