SETH GARDNER

• My team and I were responsible for the warehouses inventory in its entirety. We would monitor, record and communicate any and all issues such as damaged, moldy or out of date items to sales representatives, managers and buyers as well as customers. Research shipping errors and monitor invoice histories to help resolve any issues. Record and communicate special order inventories that involve high importance. Assisted all departments in research and tracking of all items when requested. My team and I greatly reduced inaccuracies, had detailed record keeping that reduced pile ups, streamlined and organized programs to make inventory more user friendly to coworkers and management. Together my team and I reduced our out of date stock and stale inventory dramatically. We also worked alongside the shipping and receiving departments to assist with questions, concerns and S.O.Ps.

• I was in charge of the shipping department team which was responsible for pulling and assembling customer orders as well as loading onto the trucks for deliveries. Needed to work closely with customer service and transportation departments to coordinate and execute any special instructions. Upon request I was transferred to the Inventory Control department.

Starting as a janitor working only 4 hours a day I quickly moved up to cashier.

Shortly after I was promoted to sales lead in the office supply department.

I assisted in restocking, off loading incoming inventory, furniture assembly and sales, planogram construction and rework, and over all customer service.

I was then promoted to Office Supply lead which I held for several years before being promoted to customer service manager and then store Manager in training. A position I held until 2014 when I parted ways with Staples.

• I was director of the children's ministry and worked on pastoral staff for this church. Worked closely with lead pastors and additional ministries to grow our church. Created and utilized curriculum for the kids as well as held volunteer appreciation celebrations and created events for special occasions and holidays. Extremely rewarding and humbling.
