Personal Profile
Leadership Qualifications:
. Barrel O' Fun:
I am currently working in the food production industry as well
as learning how to be an excellent supervisor and team leader. I have
a daily meeting with my General Manager and Production Manager to
review the previous day's numbers. Then, I prepare for my shift by
comparing the production schedule to my team to obtain an ideal
placement of my workers. Before my shift begins, I meet with my
workers to instruct them on the day's schedule as well as things we
are doing well and things we need to work on. Once the shift begins
it is my job to make sure everyone has the resources they need to do
their job and help out where I am needed. At the end of my shift, I
prepare payroll and a report of the shift's production numbers for the
next day's meeting.
. FedEx Freight and FedEx Ground:
I have more than two years of experience working at two
different FedEx Freight facilities that operate in different ways,
along with additional experience working at FedEx Ground previous to
that. This experience has given me insight into the most efficient
ways to operate a distribution center. In recent months, I have been
given the responsibility to oversee the outbound shift of dockworkers
as a fill-in supervisor position.
. Warehouse Team Member:
During my 5 years of experience as a warehouse worker, I have
learned the importance of delegation and individual responsibility. I
have also learned that it is important for team members to help out
when and where they can. I think this philosophy will serve me well
as a supervisor.
. Academic:
I spent the last 4 years of my academic career studying business
principles and management. This has helped me to understand the inner
workings of various types of businesses, including distribution
centers. During my career, much of my education was focused in group
projects where I learned to take a leadership role as needed.
Leadership Skills:
In my experience, the best leaders have two attributes: they lead by
example and they are effective communicators. I believe I possess these
two qualities because I have many years of experience working as a part of
several diverse teams where communication skills were crucial. I have also
learned through my work experience that it is important that a good leader
isn't afraid to get into the details of the work they have delegated to
their team. I strongly believe in leading by example.
Personal Professional Goal: Ultimately, I would like to become
established in a management level position within a business which has a
mission that I believe in.
