dependable, punctual, hard working

Through my years as a bus driver, I've always strived to be very punctual, making sure all students get to school on time. I've 

also, always maintained safety procedures while driving the students.

Taken care of post and pre trip inspections. Kept bus clean. 

Made sure all paperwork completed in full and turned in on time.


As cashier and optician, I've always strived to be trustworthy, dependable, friendly and go out of my way for my customers.

I would walk their groceries around and put them in their carts for them. If they've needed to find something in store, I would look it up and take them to product instead of pointing, unless their were instances where I could not walk away them I would give them as detailed directions as I could to find what they needed. 

Adjusted and repaired glasses as needed. 

Described the best choices in their glasses frames that they needed according to their prescription.

Helped them with paperwork for Dr. Scanned paperwork in and input their information in computer.

Made recommendations with their orders on lenses, styles, and made measurements. Made sure they got the best

fit possible so their glasses would be comfortable and provide them with best vision possible.

Pretested patients for Dr.

Helped customers learn how to put contacts in and out for the ones that had never worn them.
