M y responsibilities included operating and monitoring grinding
machines. This would including fixing fault conditions and
monitoring
t he size and speed of both the wheels and the camshafts we ground.
In
addition I was responsible for the General maintenance of the

monitoring and adjusting fluid levels(hydraulic and hydrostatic) and
a p re-
operation inspection of entire line incuding inspection of gantry
system and

March 2008 to November 2011: I was a self-employed satellite
technician for
D irect TV and Dish Network. This entailed performing service calls
and
i nstallations for new customers and providing customer education.
I nstallations
i ncluded mounting of the satellite dish. This mount could be on a
roof, brick wall
metal pole or even a T.V antenna. The dish would the then be
grounded
(bonded) to a suitable grounded. Then service would be extended to
whatever
location via RG-6 through crawspace or attics and even down walls.
Receivers
would then be connected at that location, then would be activated
after several
downloads from the satellite. Customer service included a basic
overview of
how to operated the system. Service calls usually entailed finding a
bad
connection, cable, splitter, diplexor, switch or even replacing a
defective
receiver. Sometimes I even moved the location of the dish for
asthetic purposes
or due to tree foilage interfering with the signal.

years I was there. My primary responsibilities were to assist the

would
receive a production schedule which would let me know what product

storage
spaces and railroad cars on site and determine what would be the
best storage
option. This included knowing the customers demands, shipping
dates,
p roduction dates, and availble space closest to the next operation(for
i nternal
customers). I would then move, usually with a 55,000 pound
forklift, the steel
coils to the location(sometimes with an overhead crane) and
document its
location for future reference.

any parts that needed to be brazed onto an air conditioner. This
i ncluded the u-
bends, the equalizer tubes and the distributor. We would then use
t he
blueprints for reference before brazing.

l imited to payloader(front end loader) skidsteer, dozers, graders
and drag
l ine. The plant operated at around 150 tons per hour. However we
