Maintain cleanliness and organization of workspaces. I clean, inspect, and package cold packs; I would fill orders for different companies. The stuff that was made there was for physical therapy. I had other jobs that I did there also. When I didn't have any orders to fill in the cold pack department. After the cold packs were filled and sent to my department, I would clean them, then inspect to make sure the proper name was printed on the front. Make sure they were in the right boxes, and the proper paperwork was done.

• Cleaned work area after job completion ensuring all debris is properly disposed of.
• It was a part-time job. When different contractors would call and ask if I would like to do the main and final cleaning on the house that they had built. My husband recommended me. He did their interior trim and tile work for them. I was working for my husband too.
• I clean the whole house, everything that has to be done.

• We made and assembled computer keyboards. I started out putting buttons on a monarch. Then I was put on a robot machine that put buttons on the monarch, and you had to keep your eye on it closely to make sure that the buttons were in the right place. Then I inspected the keyboards before they went to packing.

I worked in the weaving department as a curler. I crimp or curl raw yarn together, change out rolls of yarn on the loom, and keep spot yarn from running out. We made rugs in the weaving department.

Then I applied for a Hyster driver job. I operated a fork and a squeeze hyster.

When operating the forks, we had to set up the loom for the curler. Yarn on the paperwork that our supervisor gave us.

When operating the squeeze, we would have to pull out the buggies of yarn when the loom operators paged us that they were full. Then, we would put an empty one back in its place. You had to make sure they had two buggies at the loom.

• I side-seam shirts, set pockets, and collars. Then I went to trimming and inspecting. When needed, I would go to the packing department.
