Park Olathe, Kansas 66061 Home: (913) 764-0206 Email: cindy1107@gmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello, I appreciate the time your taking to review my attached resume. I'm confident that after looking over my long list of experiences you will find that I will be a good fit for your team. I'm a friendly, mature, responsible, and outgoing wife and mother. I've been married to my husband for 21 years and we are raising 2 teenagers. I have good communication skills and I'm very comfortable working with the public. I look forward to challenges and I always look for ways to improve. I enjoy working with others and I take much pride in a job well done. I am a fast learner and have a great 'helping' and 'caring' character. My hospitable, creative, and dedicated attitude are just a few attributes that add up to my great work ethic. As you'll see from my resume, I continued to stay very busy after completing my schooling. I, also, stayed active even during my favorite full-time job of being stay-at-home mom to our children when they were younger. I recently completed working 4 1/2 years for the Olathe School District as a Food Service Staff member (a Lunch Lady). I enjoyed my time there, and it was a very challenging job. Early in my employment, I successfully handled being put in a leadership position due to an unreliable co-worker. I loved the fact that along with performing my normal job duties in an excellent fashion, I was also blessed to be able to have fun using my creativity. During the past 4 1/2 years, I continuously received very good reviews from both the staff and my supervisors. On a more personal note, I left my job with the school district to focus more on my family. My Mom passed away last August. I've been spending these past few months helping my Dad get through this time. I cared for him by helping him clean and organize his very large and cluttered home.Our family goes over to his home every weekend to fix and eat dinner with him, make noise in the house, and just help us all get used to this new 'normal'. Now, I'm looking forward to the next challenges that come my way. I appreciate the opportunity to come in a for an interview and see how I can be a good fit for your team. I look forward to meeting with you. Sincerely yours, Cindy Lewis
