In my time at Fred Meyers I has given me many opportunities to learn and grow and also be able to adapt to many situation as well.

When I first started I was a Parcel and what that job consisted of was facing all the aisles as well as providing customers will a great experience and be at their service all the time even when it can be at an inconvenience. I had to learn how to time manage to get things done. I had to work backstock of the products that we had as well as using pallet jack to get the task done efficiently. I also had to learn how to use a device (Zebra) that tells us when shipments are/ What aisle products were in and how much we have on hand.

During my time there my boss and managers liked the way that I worked and managed things so they moved me up to a Clerk and this entails is doing Product management/ Remove Inventory/ Daily Counts/ Backroom Counts/ Markdowns/ Bluetags. I would do this for (Dry Grocery / Refrigerated / Frozen / Nutrition / HBA (Health/Beauty)

I also got cashier trained so I do work the front end frequently and interact with customers and have that one on one experience.

This has given me experience how to handle difficult customers that are being unreasonable in a calm and proper manner without letting my emotion get in the way of the job that needs to be done.

While I have been at Fred Meyers I have learned how to communicate with my fellow co-workers on a daily basis multiple times a day to manage what needs to get done and how to do things more smoothly through teamwork. I also got the opportunity to go to different departments through the store including (Deli/Grocery/HBA/Apparel). Because of this I have to be able to adapt and pick up and start tasks where they left off and communicate effectively with others to make sure things are done properly .
