RESUME
Being familiar with various software packages, including Excel, Word, e-mail, Nextrend, Lotus,
and Great Plains, has allowed me to be productive in various positions in three industries.
SKILLS AND PERFORMANCE
MANUFACTURING experience: I devised a method of handling custom orders to guarantee faster
shipping. I did inventory management, using count sheets, making adjustments as
needed. This involved researching purchase and sales orders for errors, doing physical counts,
keeping Excel spreadsheets for two companies (to match manual records to computer). I also
did order entry and invoicing, and often did Accounts Payable when Comptroller was unable to.
I entered contracts and kept the pricing database up to date, making corrections as needed.
MEDIA experience: My responsibility was Accounts Receivable for the Circulation Dept.
My decreasing customer and agent billing complaints from requiring 95% to less than 5%
of the day allowed me to take this position from a two person to a one person one. The
position included accounting for customers, carriers, and agents, end-of-month
reports, balancing accounts to the General Ledger, entering payment batches daily,
processing billing and invoicing, making adjustments, and doing 1099s.
RETAIL experience: I am currently a cashier; at the beginning of my career I was the Manager of
the General Office of a large department store. I supervised four clerks; we were responsible
for cashroom, cash report, invoice approval, and payroll, including manually filling pay
envelopes. I did the daily cash report, afternoon cash room duty, and helped with payroll. I also
handled correspondence. I improved audit score from 75% to 97%. I was asked to be a
traveling Office Manager but my boss wouldn’t allow it.
