As a Dock Marshall / Valet guy for the Xcel Energy Center. I have a couple different tasks to do each day while being the top assistant to my boss. He would coordinate the plan for the day on where cars are supposed to be parked on the loading dock. Along with where cars are supposed to be parked by visitors and staff we also instructed deliveries on where to go in the dock as well. We instructed semis, box trucks, delivery vans and regular vehicles delivering items to the Xcel Energy Center on where to bring them on a daily basis. By doing this it helps control the flow of traffic if there is any down on the dock.

On Gamedays for the MN Wild we Valet the whole team so roughly 25 players and around 25-40 other cars per night on average which can be family, friends or staff who are coming to catch a game. After the game is over we retrieve cars based on who is leaving, the order varies every night so we have to be on top of everything and customer service needs to be top notch. Once the friends and family have all left we then retrieve the players cars, the order for them varies as well. That is how a typical game day goes.

I have done instacart for a little over a year now on the side whenever I want some extra money. Instacart is basically just shopping for peoples groceries and driving around and delivering them throughout the day. I applied for this job when I came back from school due to covid and wanted to get a quick job that I could do on my own while also being in school. It was a convenient job because I love driving and communicating with people and I was able to work on my own schedule.

A normal day of instacart consists of driving to certain stores and picking up an order that people placed on the shopping app. I would pick it up then drive and deliver to their house apartment or business. I would average around 3-5 orders done per day last summer and slowed down after I got full time positions at USPS and Empire corp but I still do instacart often during the week just for some extra money.

While at Empire I was working in a warehouse and cutting rebar for construction sites. I would cut the rebar to the desired height requested by the contractor and then bundle it up and tie it along with making sure it is properly loaded onto the delivery truck flatbed.

I also learned more skills when it comes to operating certain machines like rebar benders, forklifts, and a hole punch machine.

I have performed some small welding and painting jobs while working there as well. I learned a lot of new skills while working here that are going to help me in my future occupations.

While working for the US Postal Service I was a CCA ( City Carrier Assistant ) . This job required me to organize mail at the station for the route I was assigned for that day. After that I would load my truck and be on the road to start my route. I would deliver letters, packages, and even stamps. I held this job over the summer and it was a great job to have. I was starting school and was unable to manage both as I worked 6 days a week for this job otherwise I would have stayed.

On Sundays we were amazon drivers and would deliver packages or parcels at our designed route. roughly 150-200 stops every Sunday.

As an intramural referee at UW-Superior I would referee the games played in the intramural program. I reffed football, volleyball, basketball, soccer , and basically anything we had for students to be apart of. I have a high knowledge of sports and just love sports in general so it was a nice job to have while at college and kept me working even while away from home.

Referee of the week 2x

Referee of the semester 1x

At cub foods I held the position of maintenance and cart retriever. I was on call to help inside of the store do the following: pickup any messes, spills, sweep, vacuum, take out trash, help bag groceries for customers, help customers bring bags to the car, and even operate machines in the back room.

As a cart retriever I would just retrieve the carts from outside and bring them in. I would line them up for the customers to take and make sure they were clean and sanitized for people to use. I would also pickup any loose litter laying around outside and make sure everything with carts are working properly and fixing any damaged carts.

At Carbone's I was a pizza puller. I would pull the pizzas from the oven along with cut them and prep them for the restaurant dining or place them in boxes for any deliveries or pickup orders. I would also clean and make sure all the ovens were ready for non stop pizzas being placed inside.
