I inspected furniture from Sep, 1998 to Dec. 1998. then I cut fabric on a computerized cutting machine. I did that from Jan. 1999 until Feb, 2008. Then I inspected furniture from March 2008 to Jan, 2010. Then I was put back on cutting machine, because they needed an expericened cutting machine operator. I was then a supervisor from Jan. 2018 to June 2021. I was an assistant to a supervisor from Jan 2022 to Dec. 2022. Then I was put back on cutting machine then until present time.

I just handled paperwork for the Insurance Agent. and took payments sometimes. Then the Agent wanted me to watch his children for him. So I started doing that and received pay.

I keyed and scanned in productions tickects from the workers that was out in the plant, so they would get paid. I did this on a computer.

• Collaborated with cross-functional teams to streamline data processing workflows and improve turnaround times.
• Processed large volumes of data to ensure accuracy and efficiency in inventory management.

I worked here part-time, while I was in high school and college. I tagged fabric, hand cut fabric, and then I was trained on the Autom atic Stack Cutter, which was called a Gerber cutting machine. It was also ran by a computer, and had a conveyer belt that would advance the fabric that was cut, to you, so you could pick it up and separate it, for it to go to sewing dept.
