Summary
When I started working here in the fall of 2020, I knew this was the company I wanted to grow with. (My forever home) I started off as a welder on the weekend shift before I got the production planner position early 2021. It was at that moment I knew this was the side of the street I was destined for. I always said, I wanted to move up with the company. This purchasing department has so many great perks and love the fact I am apart of it. As soon as I saw the "buyer" position open up, I wanted to be the first to apply. Almost everything listed is what I do on a daily basis. Just a little more in depth. I am someone that picks up on stuff very quickly. I know I don't have a bachelors degree but I truly hope this would not stop you from considering me for this position. I know I will help the company continue to thrive. I have great relationship's with all of our vendors and people I work with. The training would need to be minimal on my end.
I look forward to your consideration.
