I’m a hard worker and dependable. I start with Brookshires in 1998 working in the deli. I quickly moved up over the to the meat market, office manager, non-foods manager, then DSD Receiver. I just recently put my two weeks' notice in and my manager has asked to stay on and help. I feel this shows I have good work ethics. But I would love the opportunity to Substitute for CISD.
