Additional Information
While working as a Deputy Sheriff I was in charge of Scheduling and Payroll. I had 150 employees that I had to maintain a schedule for on a daily basis and i also needed to keep track of their time and overtime hours in order to get paid properly. The excel program was the main progrm used in order to keep track of hours and schedules.
I also worked as a School Resource Deputy in which i had to keep track of the schedules of 2000 students. I needed to make sure I was aware of the students classes and performances and if any students were in any type of violation.
I have worked in numerous positions where I needed to make sure everything was accounted for and in order and I take extreme pride in my ability to multitask.
In the past 4 years I have been running my own small business in which I handle all the daily orders and accounts and I take care of all customer service issues from marketing to shipping.
