Eric J. Anderson in Portland, Oregon 48 months ago	#1 Good communication skills: When you start, listen carefully to those persons who will train you; ASK questions if unsure, and TAKE lots of notes. #2 IF you pull parts for Kits, have good spatial skills to neatly fit parts into bins/boxes. Put larger parts first (if possible, or re-pack later) into bin/box, then fill in smaller parts. #3 Have good and legible hand-writing- nothing slows down Put-away or Production more than badly-written part numbers on boxes or bags! #4 ALWAYS think SAFETY in everyting you do! - Was this comment helpful?
