OBJECTIVE

Competent self-starter seeking a position with growth potential. I am

looking for an opportunity to display that I can be a valuable asset to any

company's organization.

EXPERIENCE

2006-2010: Gwaltney of Smithfield, Ltd., 601 North Church Street,

Smithfield, VA 23430-1221, 757-***-****

Served as an independent Inspector over the Quality Assurance section of

the Production Department. Ensured that meat is properly packaged and

stored under U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations before

shipment to customers such as Wal-Mart, Food Lion, Bloom's, and other large

markets, both foreign and domestic. Some of my daily duties included

ensuring incoming raw materials meet government HACCP requirements,

overseeing that meat is properly mixed with the right solution of 'Pork

Broth' and injected at the correct percentages, and that no foreign

material exists in the finished products. My focus was on pre-priced

packaged products to Wal-Mart. My job was to correctly verify current

prices and ensure the styling of the products met our customers

specifications and USDA requirements. As an Inspector, I ensured that all

employees are meeting our standards of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).

I am also trained and certified to test sample employees and products under

our SQL program.

2003-2006: Kinyo Virginia Inc., 290 Enterprise Drive, Newport News, VA

23603 U.S.A., Phone 757-***-****

As an employee at Kinyo, I worked as an Operator in the Chemical Mixing

Department. My duties included working in four different sections on the

department to facilitate the process of making printing blankets. While

working in the lab I had to correctly weigh various chemicals to set the

beginning process of making blankets. The second area, blending, was where

the chemical mix was added to an industrial sized mixer. That with the

correctly weighed amount of rubber created a compound to then be placed on

a mill. Milling as it was called, allowed the compound to blend even

further while on a timer and the Operator would then blend it by knife,

creating two equal sized rolls to be placed into the next stage of drying.

After drying, the rolls would then be set up for the next department to

continue the process of making a printing blanket. I was also certified as

a pallet jack operator. Kinyo was ISO 9001 certified prior to my

departure.

2002-2003: Cassette Operations Engineer, Material Handler, Production

Support Services (PSS), 563 J. Clyde Morris Blvd Suite J, Newport News VA

757-***-****

While working under PSS I was assigned to Canon Virginia in Newport News.

My job there was initially to be a material handler who kept a thorough

count of inventory and to distribute the associated parts to various areas

throughout the plant. I did very well on my assignment, to much praise,

before I was asked to try another position. The next seven months I worked

with the assembly lines in helping to develop the cassette (a make shift

drawer for holding the printer paper) for their latest model of printer. I

worked an average of 10-13 hours in a single day to help develop over 300

per day. On some occasions (given the right partner), that same amount was

achieved within less than 8 hours. Due to budget cut backs I was laid off

as a temporary employee.
