Vincent Kühl
Logistics Controller
Upington,NC
Summary
Dedicated, Loyal, Hard-working, and punctual are but a few words used in my previous performance review. I believe that a job should be challenging enough to force you out of your comfort zone. That being said, I strive for perfection in my work. I support teamwork. I motivate fellow employees to do their best at the office and support them in decision making. I have 13 years administration experience ranging from handling postal articles to attending executive management meetings. Any company that decides to hire me will never regret their decision.
