Additional Information

I am hearing impaired but with the use of a hearing aid in my left ear and a (cochlear implant) hearing device in my right ear I have no problem with verbal

communication with people or any kind of warning signals that comes with working in an industrial type of environment for the past 40+ years.

I have retired from my job with Sierra Pacific Industries (timber industry) after a 41 year career with the company but would like to stay active with preferably a flexible Part-Time position or seasonal work to help supplement my retirement income. Open to all fields or positions (skilled or non-skilled).

I also would like to work in the Redding area. I have the verifiable skills and excellent people skills to contribute in a positive and productive way.

I've always been a team player and a firm believer in that. Sincerely, Rod Meier
