ACTIVITIES
Since June of 1998, starting off as a casual mail handler working summers with USPS, through my present job with Amazon, I have worked over 20 years in the mail package industry. Whether it was just a loader, an unloader, mail transport equipment operator, a package processor, and even in leadership roles, I have gained a tremendous amount of experience, knowledge, and love for the industry. I have worked with some of the best leaders and some of the worst, but all of them empowered me with some type of knowledge. I learned how to work with and treat my co-workers as well as how not to work with and treat my co-workers and those I eventually gained leadership over. I have always tried to contribute to the success of my unit which would also add success to the company. I use my time to learn the system while my mind becomes always filled with opportunities and ways that I can contribute to make the delivery and or processing system more user friendly. I am a dedicated worker and put all my effort into my assignment and its important to me to try to not work so hard, but smart which is always attainable if you have the proper backing. I believe you must be an example of that which you want your co-workers to follow.
