  The Home Depot

  I was enrolled in a 16-week program to enhance my skills as a software developer so that I can contribute to The Home Depot as a software engineer. My responsibilities included managing inventory and freight flow at the Urbandale Home Depot. I supervised a team of between 11 and 15 hard-working full-time and part-time employees devoted to keeping our store stocked and grand-opening ready every day. My responsibilities included assisting customers with building and construction projects, as well as inventory management and stocking. I left this position when I was asked to apply for the Freight Team Supervisor position. My responsibilities included assisting customers with advising customers on plumbing projects and repairs, as well as inventory maintenance and stocking. I left this position to pursue a full-time opportunity in the Lumber and Building Materials Department. I was responsible for product merchandising and inventory management.
