  Milwaukee County Parks

  Jun 2013 - Oct 2019

  Facility and Staff Manager

  For seven summers, I provided the public service of keeping patrons safe at pools in urban Milwaukee. In the summer of 2016, I was promoted to Assistant Head Lifeguard, equivalent to an assistant manager. In the summers of 2017, 2018, and 2019, I was promoted to a Head Lifeguard position. This position is equivalent to that of a manager. For all three summers, I managed the Cool Waters Aquatics Facility in Greenfield Park and the 30 to 50 lifeguards and park workers that are staffed there. This job had many responsibilities and duties, such as making schedules, budgeting, calculating payroll, giving bi-weekly personalized evaluations to staff, managing and training employees, maintaining pool safety, and upholding pool maintenance. I also had responsibilities for recruiting for the Aquatics Department. I would be tasked with going out to high schools and swim meets (in the Greater Milwaukee area) to promote our lifeguarding and park worker positions. I had completed 10+ hours of recruitment responsibilities. Show less

  Associate Recruiter

  As an Associate Recruiter, who was part of the CP2E Team, my main responsibility was connecting to, sourcing, contacting, pre-screening, and processing professional candidates. Sourcing/finding talent was an important part of my position as a recruiter with MPG. I always was looking for candidates that had job-specific skills as I wanted to meet our clients’ demands. Because I leveraged my social networks and industry connections to build a strong pipeline of in-demand candidates, I was among the top 10 recruiters with the most hires out of 200+ team members. Other responsivities that I was accountable for did include phone screening, sending professional emails, outsourcing, research, prepping candidates for interviews, and coordinating tasks/paperwork. I worked hard to take charge of these responsibilities as we all had goals to meet personally and as a team; I always strived to deliver on my metrics. Show less
