Profile
I would like to obtain an internship that will enable me to utilize my strong organizational skills, educational background, and my ability to work well with others in an effort to help me learn more about the packaging industry and ultimately fulfill a full-time position.
Experience
Server/Bartender, Carrabba’s Italian Grill Gainesville, FL Dec. 2005-Dec. 2008
Although I was hired as a bus person, I quickly moved up to a server position after just a few months. I have a proven track record of entertaining guests and their needs and after demonstrating my leadership capabilities, was given headwaiter responsibilities. I also tended bar for a short period of time, which greatly improved my communication skills. Finally, I was promoted to corporate trainer, where I had the opportunity to teach incoming servers and evaluate their progress with the management team.
Stock Clerk, Publix Supermarket Gainesville, FL Aug. 2005-Dec. 2005
Despite only working for a period of five months, this was a great opportunity to exhibit my attention to detail. I worked hard to keep the store organized by restocking shelves and rotating items with limited shelf-life. This also gave me the opportunity to handle different packages on a daily basis and evaluate aspects of the packages’ functions.
Assistant, DML Property Consultants St. Petersburg, FL May 2005-Aug. 2005
As an assistant to the manager of a real-estate appraisal company, I was given several duties including filing appraisal reports, corresponding with clientele, and taking property photos. As most of the information that I dealt with was confidential, this job exemplifies my trustworthiness and shows I can handle sensitive information properly.
Education
University of Florida, Gainesville, FL — Bachelor of Science, Packaging Science
*Degree will be obtained upon completion of internship.*
I am a member of Alpha Zeta honors fraternity and the Packaging Science Club. I also attended PackExpo in October 2007, where I was able to see firsthand how many machines are operated.
Skills
I am a very detail-oriented person with a passion for working with others. I am very organized and can multi-task efficiently and quickly. I am also very proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). I have some working knowledge of Microsoft’s database program (Access) and very limited knowledge of AutoCAD software; however, I am very eager to learn.
