As an HR Coordinator, I assisted in the recruitment and interview process. I tracked candidates’ status and responded to any follow-up emails. I assisted the Human Resources Director in scheduling meetings and interviews. I reviewed staffing justifications and created job advertisements to post on our HRIS, Ceridian Dayforce. I created FPA (Fair Pay Analyzes) reports, managed the completion of I-9 forms, verified documents, and maintained I-9 files. I prepared new- employee’s onboarding packets and filed documents into appropriate files. I also created retention agreements for specific roles, and sent them along with their welcome emails and job descriptions. I also verified eligibility for transfer for those who were interested in promotional opportunities. Once hired, I would close the staff justification and finalize the onboarding process.

As an Employment Service Counselor, I promoted and encouraged our community participants in the Welfare to Work program to become self sufficient. I managed 50+ cases and developed client goals tailored to their needs/ interests. The ultimate goal was to assist our clients to reach independence without the need of financial aid. While doing that, as a business perspective, we also had to reach State and County benchmarks.In reaching State and County goals and having a well established relationship with clients, the State Sample Division offered me a transition of departments. As I embarked that new journey, I oversaw my own office assuring that the state samples selected for that month in my office where being met. There I conducted weekly meeting, reporting a three month period at a time, and going on home visits to increase engagement from our clients.

As an Optician at Costco, I was knowledgeable on Costco products and recommended what was best for our clients, while meeting their prescription needs. Presenting different options and educating our customers, led them to understand the importance of eye wear and would end up purchasing double or triple pairs at a time. My benchmarks were amongst the top and met weekly goals. The importance of educating individuals was the cue for meeting sales expectations, which I was successful in because I wanted our members to feel confident about their purchase and be sure that they were receiving quality products that would be beneficial to them. In 2020, as a team, the optical department was amongst the top three in the Los Angeles region.In 2020, I was recognized in the area of “Redo’s”, being the lowest in the department. I took pride in this, because it avoided an extension of turnaround time for our clients. I had the ability to work well under pressure and perform daily functions with minimal supervision. I also maintained a high level of confidentiality in correspondence and information sharing, completing HIPAA training regularly and ensuring to follow best practices.

As a Human Resources Assistant, I supported the HR Manager with day-to-day human resources operations.

I have learned a lot hands on and am motivated to continue to learn and expand my knowledge in this field.
