I was an employee of Truliant Federal Credit Union for two years, being promoted to co-manager in 2014. My tasks as an employee were to handle member transactions as well as assist in any Truliant events. As co-manager I was responsible for 7 junior interns for the year. I scheduled their work hours, made sure they were representing Truliant correctly, and conducted bi-weekly meetings with them to stay up to date on current events in the credit union.
