Carpet Truck Technician

Cornell University
05.2005 - 08.2008

Had to know how and where to hook up the Carpet Truck so that the hoses reach the most places in a dorm, so we didn't have to keep moving the truck. Had to use 2 different kinds of tools to extract the carpets. One looks like a floor buffer. The other looks like a vacuum attachment only 1 piece instead of 2. Had to figure out what the stains were so that you could treat them and not have them be set. Some stains if you don't treat them won't ever come out

I have worked in Bargin Center 1965 Barker 1970-1972 Dollar Tree don't remember the dates

Bargin Center was first job after I graduated was a cashier, did some pricing of merchandise, and  worked the Customer Service Desk. At the service we answered the telephone, did refunds, and made layaways. the customer service desk was also where you had to pay on your layaway.                  Barker's I was a Department Manager for the Toy Department. As the manager I had to leave instructions for the person who worked nights. I had to make sure that we had enough of what ever was on sale for the day of at least the day of the  sale. I also ran a register if we got busy.                          Dollar Tree I was a cashier. Also stocked shelves close to the register, so I knew if someone was ready to check out.
