Do you have a great attitude and exceptional communication skills?
Is your desk neat and do you know right where everything is?
When someone asks you a question and you are not sure of the answer do you find yourself seeking the correct answer to fulfill your curiosity?
Is it rewarding to solve a problem and come up with solutions?
Does learning new things and knowing the technical details of a manufacturing process pique your interest?
