Although my resume doesn't have a lot of direct experience on it, I am a hard worker and pride myself on always doing the best job I can. I do not do well with failure, and that drives me to go the extra mile to do things well.
I also genuinely believe that my college experience, as well as things from my past employment, have shaped me into someone who will be able to do the things required for this position.
