Alexander Abregana,
Life Insurance Agent at Transamerica
"You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." -C.S. Lewis
First and foremost, I served 12 honorable years in the Army as an Infantryman. I am a hard-working, loyal and enthusiastic person who understands how important work is to my overall happiness. I take my job very seriously. I am always looking to improve my skills and qualifications to work to the highest standards possible in my role.

I genuinely believe there are two types of employees: the first is someone who turns up to work and does their job so they can pay their bills. The second employee type puts them all into their career, is committed, and does all they can to help their employer achieve their goals. I am the second employee type, and I believe my previous track record and robust appraisals demonstrate that. 

I have excellent communication skills and fully understand how important it is to deliver outstanding customer care. After all, there would be no business without customers, and I would not have a job. I also have excellent organizational skills and always plan my weeks to ensure I perform to a high standard.
