Work History

Factory Worker

RCL Foods
Spartan
10.2020 - 06.2021
  • As a factory worker, I had various responsibilities, depending on the department I was placed under, according to my timetable. As a truck loader, I had to ensure that the products the factory produced were loaded along with my team members designated to do the task with me for that day. At times, I might work as a mixer, and my responsibility there is to ensure the right ingredients are blended according to the product requirements listed to us. If I am under the bakery department, my responsibilities include cleaning and ensuring the baked goods go in and out as the timers beep.

Sales Representative

Rhodesfield
01.2019 - 04.2020
  • As a car sales representative, I was responsible for assisting customers in their purchase of vehicles, providing customers with information about various models, features, and pricing options. I engaged with potential buyers to understand their needs, offer test drives, and negotiate sales agreements. Additionally, I also handled paperwork related to financing and trade-ins, maintained relationships with customers for future sales, and ensured that I stayed updated on industry trends and dealership inventory.
