In this area, I learned to implement everything related to order in my work, pay attention to small details, operate a forklift, talk to drivers, and receive products entering the machines or production. If something goes wrong in receiving, it is likely to reach the customer in the same condition. I finished my job as part of the receiving team and have some knowledge of the shipping process, although I worked as support in that area and was not part of their team.

In the inventory department, it was crucial to stay focused because I needed to carefully check the correct lot, with its manufacture date. It was important to be cautious and attentive to small details. This is where I learned to operate a forklift, and obtained my license to drive it. In the afternoons, I worked in the office, organizing orders for the next day.

When I worked on samples, it was a slower-paced job, with no option to create or improve a process. I was in that position solely to update new weights and measurements of the products, due to changes in suppliers for products and containers.

When I was left to work solely as the capsule machine operator, I learned how to disassemble the machines, troubleshoot issues, and run the machines. I also learned that an open capsule is not a correct capsule. One of the most important things I understood is that teamwork is crucial. The workers help ensure the product is of high quality, and I help them by creating optimal working conditions.

When I started working as a manager, I was able to put into practice what I had been taught. Additionally, I created templates to track products entering the machine, and keep a written work history. One of the challenges was supervising everything while also closing orders, but I managed to do it. After four months of working alone, my request for an assistant was approved, which allowed me to focus more on performance and product quality.

When I started working as an assistant in packaging, the manager taught me how to apply labels to bottles. She also taught me how to communicate instructions, supervise the work of others, fill out documents on the computer, and be organized with products and productions.

When I started working in production, I learned to work as part of a team. I learned to work efficiently and quickly. I also learned to fill out documents at the beginning and end of a production run.

In this job, I learned to work as part of a team, and to communicate effectively to ensure things went well. It's not important to be a boss to work well.
