Work History
Manager
Culver's
Cape Girardeau, MO
05.2024 - Current
- I began my career as a Kitchen Crew Member and was promoted to Kitchen Trainer within five months due to my strong work ethic, leadership abilities, and performance. In this role, I trained new kitchen employees on proper grill operation, food preparation procedures, fryer usage, and maintaining company quality standards across multiple menu items.
- After one year, I was promoted to Manager and took on additional responsibilities involving both kitchen operations and overall store management. My duties included unloading and organizing truck deliveries into freezer, cooler, and dry storage areas, opening the kitchen each day by ensuring cleanliness and full station preparation, and assembling and activating kitchen equipment before operations began.
- As a manager, I supervise up to six crew members at a time while maintaining efficient back-of-house operations and supporting overall store performance. I also assist with register cash replenishment, maintain accurate lunch sales records and documentation, and help oversee nightly closing procedures.
- During closing shifts, I am responsible for ensuring order accuracy and quality, enforcing safety and cleanliness standards throughout the store, and confirming that all crew responsibilities are completed properly before closing each night. I consistently strive to create an organized, efficient, and team-oriented work environment while delivering high standards of customer service and operational excellence.
Factory Worker
W. W. Wood Products, Inc.
Dudley, MO
08.2021 - 03.2023
- I worked in a factory woodwork position with responsibilities focused on cabinet production, quality control, and material handling within a fast-paced manufacturing environment. My primary role involved reviewing cabinet orders, organizing and sorting shelves according to production specifications, and ensuring materials were prepared accurately for assembly and finishing processes.
- I was responsible for repairing damaged or defective shelves and transporting completed materials to the appropriate departments for painting or staining. I also occasionally assisted with transferring cabinet parts from drying racks onto conveyor belts to continue through the painting process.
- In addition to these duties, I frequently worked on the assembly line, where I installed screws into cabinet bases and used a rubber mallet to reinforce and secure cabinet surfaces during production. At the end of the assembly line, I operated alongside a box machine by matching the correct printed box to its designated cabinet, packaging the product properly, and securely taping completed orders for shipment and distribution.
- My role included maintaining a clean and safe work environment by performing green sweeping duties throughout the factory floor and following workplace safety standards at all times. Through strong performance and adaptability, I was entrusted with operating several types of industrial equipment, including a dowel machine, sliding table saw, hot glue system, and electric pallet jack.
- This position required excellent attention to detail, physical endurance, teamwork, and the ability to maintain productivity during demanding 12-hour shifts while consistently meeting quality and production expectations.
