Throughout my life, I’ve helped my grandfather on his small ranch property, tending to his mules, chickens, and a few cows. I pitched in with feeding, working the fields—cutting weeds and grass, pulling rocks—and splitting wood when needed. My grandfather taught me the value of hard work and gave me a real appreciation for being outdoors and looking after animals. I’ve also got a solid background in customer service, where I’ve learned to talk to folks, make ’em feel welcome, and help with whatever they need. I’ve had some experience running machinery, and I’m always ready to pick up new skills and step up where I’m needed. I take a lot of pride in giving my best effort every day and doing the job right.
In this position I work as a Lumber Associate and Order Fulfillment depending on the shift. Order Fulfillment is simple, I gather orders placed online. I scour around the store to find them and place them in a box.
While on lumber shift, I restock bunks of wood on the shelves with a forklift. I flatten their tops when needed, while also directing customers to the appropriate types of wood for their specific projects. In this position I have learned how to use Table and Panel saws.
I learned many things in this position, simple things firstly such as how to appropriately operate a cash register, handle guests belongings or cards, as well as be quick with their purchase.
I also served and delivered food to guests when needed. Prepped and stocked merchandise at the front desk and around the building where it was necessary to do so.
I often spoke to and helped guests at the theater, given that I was customer service for over a year I had gained much experience when dealing with customers of the company.
I learned how to communicate effectively and get tasks completed quickly for the guest I was serving.
In this position I also learned to deal with situations that were unsatisfactory for the guest. Learning to operate professionally while offering the most help to resolve a situation with an unhappy customer.
I’d like to highlight that I’m a very friendly and outgoing person who really enjoys talking to people from all walks of life I have a genuine interest in getting to know others and making sure they feel respected and understood I’ve also learned a lot about treating people professionally through my work at the front desk and in sales roles I always keep a positive attitude and stay calm, even in busy situations I’m also very eager to learn new things and pick up skills quickly, which helps me adapt to different situations and keep improving
