Summary
Highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong worth ethic, adaptability and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills. Throughout experience as a QA tech also developed extensive knowledge of on the line work, often helping out peers during downtime. Production supervisors and team leads at WLF were exceptional teachers and taught me numerous jobs on the line to better understand the function of the process as a whole. During downtime and available overtime I often worked on the line doing many different tasks in further processing, evisceration, and on the shipping dock.
