Meat Cutter

Summary

In the ten years with the company I have been exposed to a variety of departments from pushing carts outside to being promoted as to cashier to being certified as a meat cutter. In these departments I have worked with different personnel and have been tasked to adapt and well to implement certain ideas and procedures so that the company can maximize profit and still give great service. Have been able to learn about the new technology that is being implemented. Have been selected by my store directors and leaders to learn these new ways of the store and been tasked and trusted to teach other employees in my department. The skills obtained since the age of 16 will be transferred over to the field of law enforcement due to the fact that communicating well with my co workers is what i believe is looked for. As well as following orders precisely and able to lead by example. Observing key details of people or certain things have been part of my development as a worker with good merit as it has helped me pay close attention to situations that may be overlooked by others. Adapting to new locations and people or management has been beneficial due to being able to make adjustments quickly and not be remain in one position.

Salary as of 2024 was 46,000$. I have been full-time for 4 years.
