I graduated in 2023 and began my career as a utility and production worker at Olive Garden. During my time there, I developed strong organizational skills and learned how to efficiently manage my responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. This role required me to lift and carry heavy loads regularly, which helped me build physical stamina and resilience. After nearly a year, I transitioned to a position at Walmart in November 2024, where I focused on fulfilling online orders. This experience has further honed my organizational abilities, as keeping track of multiple orders and ensuring accuracy is imperative in this role. I take pride in maintaining a high level of efficiency and attention to detail while working under tight deadlines.
As a Dishwasher at the restaurant, my responsibilities included ensuring that all dishes were thoroughly cleaned and ready for service, maintaining an organized kitchen environment, and upholding the overall cleanliness of the establishment through regular mopping and sanitation tasks.
In my role as a Production Worker, I was tasked with preparing food items for future service, including chopping vegetables for salads and preparing fresh breadsticks, to ensure efficiency and quality in our culinary offerings.
As an Online Order Fulfillment Associate at Walmart, my main job was to gather items for online orders and ship them to customers' homes or nearby stores for pick-up. I worked on improving our fulfillment process, which led to fewer mistakes and better service for our customers. I kept a close eye on stock levels to spot and fix any shortages before they caused problems. This helped us keep orders running smoothly. I also sped up deliveries by quickly finding items in the stockroom and getting them ready for shipment. My work helped enhance the customer experience and supported Walmart’s goal of providing quality service in a busy retail setting.
