People are noting that the rest of the sentence needs work, and I agree with them. Perhaps you could say "I really like the area I'm working in and am eager to do my best." If "area" is synonymous with "campo"/"disciplina" here, I suggest saying something like "I really like the field I'm working in."

Explanation:
In HR is better to use "focus", as it is not about a spacial orientation, but a future envisioning. I would prefer to relate it to an attitude, not to my person. Normally, attitudes are chosen or learned, personal traits are inner and not easy changeable. Use the language aware of this. My recc.

neutral  Tony M: 'results-oriented' is a VERY common expression in HR contexts, and there is nothing of spatial orientation about it in such contexts.

neutral  David Moore (X): Am I just old-fashioned? Sounds to me as if he has an extremely selfish attitude - doesn't matter where the results come from or how he gets them...

neutral  B D Finch: Not really, it is about being focussed on results rather than process. In some fields (especially, but not only the arts), the highest achievers may be those who focus on process.
