General Education Mid Shift

Alex M Cooper

Work Experience

US Navy: ** February 2011- 02 February 2015

Was a cryptologic technician technical (CTT) petty officer second class (E5). Work included launching chaff, maintaining hardware and soft systems, data collection on foreign ships, identification of possible threats and every tactical and navigation oriented radar at sea. Had collateral duties involving:

• Repair locker assignment (firefighting and shoring).

• Held Top Secret / Secret Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance. Mulligans Wine & Spirits: 2016

Was in school doing general education classes at the time. Was with this employer for about seven months. Left because mid-shift is all that was open and conflicted with a mandatory class time (would have stayed for the phenomenal crew).

• Worked register.

• Liquor license maintained.

Rite Aid: 2017

Still taking some general education classes at this point. Was with this employer for about six months. Left after shift manager position failed to open.

Traverse City Airport: 2020

Hired on. Passed through computer based training. Clearance never granted as delays rolled out by the small airport due to hour reductions meant newer employers not given security clearances or put on hours. Reduced hours for employees was a direct result of COVID-19 and less customer base flowing through the airport and its tentative financial future. Had to leave Traverse City as a lack of sufficient hours meant living in the area would be unsustainable. Home Depot: 2021 & later in 2023

Worked as lumber associate. Many think it is a retail job, but it is also a warehouse with production elements. Utilized:

• Radial & panel saw to meet customer demands for special cut lumber.

• Sit-down style forklift.

• Reach forklift (Crown company variant).

• Assisted customers with home & land projects.

• Exercised judgement on discounted items to push sells and build client relationships.

DB Schenker: 2022-2023

Worked as inventory and outbound specialist for seven and seven months respectively. Left for the flexibility of Home Depot’s hours, similar to situation with Mulligans (another fantastic crew). Work included:

• Investigation of uncovered mistakes and item recovery. Thorough cycle counting throughout warehouse (raising the weekly number of total counted items from around 70% to 100%).

• Preparation of outbound packages and kits destined for data center. Reduced reaction time to new orders from around 30-40 minutes to 5-10 minutes. Outbound trucks averaging 1-3 per day went up to 4-7 trucks per day in the first week.
