Summary
I have worked in the warehouse industry for going on 15 years now. I can drive just about any piece of equipment and have done and learned a lot over the years. I have worked at Nestle Purina for going on 3 years and have a very robust and clear understanding of the ASRS system as I worked with it since it was first implemented. Also I have experience working as a coordinator which I think would prove valuable as it goes hand in hand with the ASRS system functions. I can drive a jockey truck to move trailers, drive just about any piece of equipment, and in my previous job I did a lot on the computer side of things. I know how to set up and stage and load shipments going out, as well as do the paperwork for them. I can coordinate with vendors and receive deliveries, enter them into the system to get paid for. I have done cycle counts and Audits and inventory control for the entire warehouse. I feel like at this point I know just about everything that goes on in a warehouse environment, as well as all of the receiving and data entry that goes along with it. I have also dealt with quality control processes. If there is a skill that I do not know how to do, I am always eager to learn new skills and I am a very quick learner.
