Accomplishments

I am a highly accomplished package handler in the logistics busines. I have loaded, unloaded, and sorted packages of all sizes and weights, with precision like accuracy. I have met all goals, working in a very fast working environment, and working very safely.

I have mastered shelve stocking and display building earlier in my working career, and also ensuring all items we're damage free and looked highly presentable.

I had learned skills in the shipping and receiving areas, as I properly checked in and read invoices properly with counting items to ensure there we're no errors. I have done inventory for several years, as I knew how to properly list and report items on pallets and/or carts, and communicating with my fellow manager.
