I was tasked with loading and unloading trailers in a timely and efficient manor. I was given a handheld device to check freight for the shipments information and location in which it was supposed to be sent.

We were tasked to clean, build, stuff and, inject a dye to make a finally project. Mainly I was in this section working with the raw cut material actually making the fans. We were supposed to complete this task with quick and accurate work so the fans would come out well done. Each project had a timeline we had to get the fan done and sent to the next step. I was moved around to the cutting area where we use a computer program to cut all the raw material into shapes for the fans to be made. This included upkeep and maintaining of the computer itself and machine it was programmed to run. I was moved to other positions throughout the building to make me a more versatile worker.

I was a selector for the Meijer Distribution Center. I stickered boxes to set on the conveyer belt to then be sent to the trucks for delivery for the stores. This needed to be done in a timely manner so that the shipments would be on time.

We were tasked to maintain and upkeep the job sites provided throughout several cities in the surrounding area. Some days we had long days of standing and manual labor in the sun, heat, clouds and or rain. We started working as early and as late as we could to make sure the properties looked well kept.

I'm tasked with cleaning up all sorts of part on a belt grinder or with hand tools. All parts must be to a certain standard to be accepted as good.
