May 2008 - February 2014   Despatch Loader/Picker/Warehouse Operative, 2 Sisters Food Group, Coupar Angus, Perthshire
This was making up orders and loading them on to trailers on time otherwise the product might not make it and we would have lost thousands of pounds worth of product because it didn’t get there on time. When I had got all my work done I would also clean the department, either sweep the floor and pick up rubbish so no one tripped. Here I was also taught how to use the Hellenic scanning system and scan gun for making up orders and keep track of stock and I was also got an electric pallet forklift truck license.
July 2007 - October 2007   Field Supervisor, Thomson Fruit Growers, Blairgowrie, Perthshire
Before my most recent job I was a field supervisor at Thomson Fruit Growers and this involved me and another field supervisor making sure our squad of pickers were picking the ripe fruit and leaving the other fruit for a later date. I would have to organise the squad of around 20 people maybe more and let them know where to go and what to do. This lasted till the end of the season.
May 2004 - May 2006   Shop Assistant, Scotmid, Coupar Angus, Perthshire
Here I had to stock the shelves and keep the shop tidy and towards the end I also manned the tills and rotated the stock in the warehouse just to make sure the dates were ok and tell my manager or supervisor about dates or if there was something wrong.
