Employment
2010 - Currently doing Massage Therapy and drum instruction @ home.
2010 - Domino's Pizza delivery driver and CSR
2008/'09 - Interned at a chiropractic clinic in Andover before gaining
self-employment as a Massage Therapist at Kool Kutz Salon at 10051 W 21st
St. in Wichita.
2008 - Executive Office Cleaning, LLC; worked here a few months while
attending Heritage College. General cleaning duties: vacuum, blinds,
tables, dust, bathrooms, mopping, floor buffing, etc.
2007 - Domino's Pizza [316-***-****] - delivery driver and CSR
2006 - Worked for Fiber Care out of Goddard, KS. Traveled to various
locations on the East coast and through the midwest cleaning hotel AC's,
carpet, showers, tile floors, chairs and drapes.
2005/'06 - Worked for John Bianco [316-***-****] as laborer/job site
cleanup. John works for Bianco Construction. I performed various tasks
as directed including but not limited to: trash pickup, garage cleanup
(i.e. sweeping and organizing), sweeping out framed houses and basements
(repeat when necessary), form pulling (poured, dry driveways, etc.),
power washing.
2005 - Worked for The Holland Group [918-***-****] at the Whirlpool
facility outside of Owasso, OK. I performed duties on an assembly line
that fabricated ranges. I moved to Oklahoma to live with my cousin and
find good work. Holland Group ran an ad that said "1st or 2nd shifts
available" so I applied and got the job. I asked for second shift, but
was put on second (5:30 pm - 3:30 am). I worked there only one and
weeks because I was not able to sleep around the second shift hours.
2004/'05 - Worked for Executive Office Cleaning L.L.C. [316-***-****]
as a general office cleaner. I worked up to a supervisory position in
under one year as I was in charge of the people cleaning Rusty Eck Ford
on E. Kellogg. I achieved a better floor look by using an auto-scrubber
supplied by Rusty Eck that was not being used correctly. My supervisor,
Mike McHenry 316-***-****, was very impressed with my progress. With
my help and guidance, the building really took on a look that said
"clean." I worked very hard in this position having people quit on me
left and right because of the work involved. I quit this job because of
my supervisor. My instructions were never accurate and my team was being
neglected during times that seemed to me important. Also, the 3rd shift
hours became a burden because I was not able to sleep.
2003 - Worked for Saltbox Primitive Signs [316-***-****] as a general
helper. This company was home-based and have since moved their location
from the time of my employment. We made wood signs with sayings on them
look old and worn; it was quite an involved process. Here are some of the
12 steps: I helped paint, waterproof, package, send, sand and stain wood
planks that were formed in their garage with saws and routering machine
(which I also did), took inventory of supplies, brain-stormed with owner
about new ideas to help production become easier and more efficient, and
even fixed their sander because I'm a handy man to have around!
2003 - Worked for Country Mart [620-***-****] as a stocker/bagger
while attending Cowley College in Arkansas City. I performed all the
necessary duties to ensure that the company wasn't lacking in anything:
sack and carry groceries to cars, stock shelves and straighten, help with
closing duties, sweep entire floor once a week, take out trash when it
was my turn, rotate food and change displays, keep stock room situated
and tidy, etc.
Qualifications
I've spent my entire life around animals, mainly canines, always having a
pet from the time I was little. Others pets I've "owned" are birds,
rabbits and a gerbil. I aspired to be a veterinarian when I was young and
my love of animals has carried into my adult life. Being around animals is
like a second being to me; first there's life, then there's animals! I get
along very well with any breed, kingdom, phylum, whatever it may be, we get
along. My childhood involved visiting my grandparents' farm near St. John,
KS. I spent time with my grandpa, helping feed the cows and harvesting,
good times! My work ethic is above average, love being busy and I am
completely reliable. Having been through an Anatomy and Physiology course
while attending Heritage College, I learned quite a bit about the inside of
the body, how it works and how organs perform. I think this information
would be handy around animals. If a medical emergency were to arise I
would at least have an idea of what is going on in the animals body or if
given instruction to help. Eventhough an animal's body is organized a bit
different than a human body, my knowledge would be helpful.
If anything would need to be fixed or improved, I enjoy "handy man" work
and have done some in the past. For my grandpa I installed a full-sized
bath/shower door; all the cutting, caulking, etc. I installed carpet in
two of his rooms, doing all the cutting, measuring, etc. I've put together
numerous around-the-house items: i.e. bookshelves, desks, TV cabinets.
I've hung light fixtures which involved working with electric wires; making
sure what goes where.
I've had lots of jobs in the past but would like to inform you that I plan
on staying with my next job, especially if it would involve animals that
are treated humanely; it would be a dream, honestly. I can't imagine doing
anything more fun than working with animals.
Thanks for your consideration!
