Elvin Melendrez
My name is Elvin Melendrez. I am a young and ambitious individual where I have a strong-positive work ethic. I was given the privilege to receive an excellent quality education from my childhood to adulthood. Through taking my education seriously, I have built a personal reputation to take pride in my work by meeting deadlines successfully.
About Me
I have extensive skills and experiences from Construction, customer service, operations management, data entry, reports writings, and executing solutions for both the employers and customers base needs. Throughout the years of building my profession and experiences I have gained a well quantity of administrative skills such as writing reports, proposals, and submit inventory orders for my previous employers. I am the type of potential candidate that will not hesitate to help coworkers or management in additional assistance to execute project completions or even to assist solving an internal problem. If given an employment opportunity I will not permit mediocre work ethic but rather than above average effort and positive results.

Education & Training
I had the opportunity and privilege to pursue and engineering degree that reflects my current profession. I have learned the standards of engineering and construction applications, where I received the both theoretical and practical concepts on how to analyze and executes solutions through my 10 years of experience. Unfortunately, I didn't complete my bachelor's where I have only completed 90/120 college credits. Despite my incomplete of my unfinished college degree, I have extensive experience where I can provide equivalent value as an engineer to a potential employer.
