I have taken and passed the State of NC Security Officer training, and am very happy to try to do my part to help with the COVID pandemic now that I have finally given up on my previous job ever coming back This was not an easy way to re-enter the workforce after too long. I, as well as some other people I kept in contact with, became a bit too complacent, rationalizing that the pandemic would be over fairly soon after the vaccines were widely available, and being stubbornly unwilling to give up on the wage increases that I had earned over my seven years of experience as a Brand Ambassador for a very nice wine company. I'm very grateful to Allied for allowing me to pivot from pure customer service to Security Services, as we enforce in the kindest way possible the basic rules Security in a Covid testing facility and vaccination center

Prior to COVID-19 this job was one of my favorite vocations. I loved interacting with shoppers and meeting new people, and I found that I have the ability to walk up to complete strangers and put them at ease. I’ve always been outgoing and positive, and it’s something you can’t fake convincingly. I hope to take what I’ve learned and apply it to other jobs. I feel as though my job won’t be available anytime soon. Morning Show Producer

It was a pleasure in every sense of the word to be part of a very exciting morning talk show, the first on FM radio in North Carolina. It was my job as producer to pitch ideas and topics to the shows two hosts and to book guests. I also edited the show into a podcast when podcasting was in its infancy. I vetted callers to make sure they stayed on topic and had a good question or comment. If they didn’t I still made them feel like they were important to our success. Over the eight years of producing this show I learned many things, with time management being among the most important. I learned that the show had a flow to it and gained experience for many future endeavors. Education

I was on track to work to ensure everything was in satisfactory condition with the autopilot prior to each flight on KC-134 refuelers, and during my last week of training I was bumped by accident and fell down 47 corrugated steel stairs. It ruptured two disks in my neck I was given the best treatment possible, undergoing two operations and then being medically discharged. I'm 100% ready to work as long as there is no lifting anything over 100 pounds regularly. Commendations:
I graduated first in my air force class in electronics and aerospace engineering having had no previous experiences in the field.
