Work Experience
wharehouse operative
Nov ‘21 - Mar ‘22
Amazon

Working at Amazon as a warehouse Operator made me gain experience in a different department and make me learn new skills and roles in a Warehouse. I gain training in Stow, Picks, and Packs. My workdays are different, I can be sometime in Pack or Pick or Stow. When a department need helps I always volunteer to go and help out. I sometimes start by doing stow, where my job was to place appropriate items onto merchandise racks. Once the racks are filled, a robot rolls them away and replaces them with another one with spaces. When a customer orders something from Amazon, the robot brings the rack to Pick where I have to take the item and place it in the black bucket to be sent to Pack where I will put the items onto the appropriate boxes. Ability to understand and follow safety practices. Problem-solving duties involving damaged products. Work in a very fast environment, teamwork.
