I am a trustworthy and hardworking individual, excited by the opportunity of expanding my knowledge base and skill sets. I am dedicated, punctual, and enjoy working as a part of a team, as well as on my own.

Employment:

Receiving Clerk - Sygma Illinois (September, 2014 - Present) 3600 Southgate Drive, Danville IL 61834

Sygma Illinois is a logistics end of Sysco Foods, Inc. I began employment at Sygma Illinois as a Customer Service Representative. My primary responsibility was to print and audit invoices and loadcaps, for all outbound loads and then delivering them to transportation. I also assisted customers over the phone with their orders, general inquiries, and claims.

Driver Check-in procedures and dock door assignments for all inbound loads.

Communications with drivers, warehouse management and personnel, buyers, and carriers via multi-line phone system, CB, Callbox, and email.

The verification of Bill-of-Lading through invoices, packing lists, weight manifests, and temptale analysis as compared to product actually ordered is a critical part of my job.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) protocols and temperature monitoring and recording of all potentially hazardous foods.

End-of-shift reports, emails, document requests, and purchase order closing are other duties.

Financial Services such as payroll check and card cashing, credit card payments and solicitation, on-line bill payments, money order transactions, and wire services through Moneygram were very popular.
