Additional Information
I've worked as a Produce clerk for 2 years at Winco foods, and I've also worked as a meat cutter and a Meat Manager for 2 years and a half now. I also worked as a Cart clerk for 3 months and a Seafood and Deli clerk for a week. In which helped me to be adaptable in any areas that need assistance. This also helped me to understand the needs of various areas and how to get through the day even on days where I'm short handed. I’ve also managed as well, and i'm capable of working with my hands and in addition to management and delegation. Im very easy-going and can adapt in any environment and with people as well making sure to meeting the goals for the company. I also worked for Winco for 7 years with that being my first job and looking forward to what more there is to learn. I'd like to thank you for the consideration, and hope to be hearing from you.
