RESUME
Objective
My objective and main goal is to gain as much experience as I can within the news and sports media. I challenge myself to seek out and learn more and network as much as possible so that I can continue to move up in my preferred career. What I want to display to possible colleagues and employers is that I'm a great candidate for the job because I'm a hard worker who is always open to learning. Whether I'm under qualified or completely qualified for a specific position, my goal is to prove that I'm a very diligent worker who's willing to go above and beyond so that I can be the best I can be.
