One of the previous jobs I had was scanning documents for the Bureau of Indian Affairs contracted through Xerox and Spherion Temporary Staffing. This took place at a field office in Bismarck, ND to prepare the office to close permanently. They wanted all the records recorded so in case the documents were destroyed, old probate cases and land deeds and things were saved.

I only mention this job because I was in charge of pretty much everything. The other staff employed there were not technically savvy so I setup a lot of user guides and computer systems to make sure everything ran smoothly.

We were falling behind schedule because we couldn’t get skilled labor to run the computers and do data entry, so they sent in another computer system and scanner that I setup by myself.

In the end we got all the documents scanned and burned onto CD and also uploaded to remote hard drives. It was a short job, but demonstrated my ability to work on a deadline, setup complex IT systems, and manage people.
