Experiences at Tucson Textile

I began working for Tucson Textile, a small Tucson wiping-rag supplier in October 2001 part-time to help out with grade sorting and accounts receivable. After about a month of writing and sending out invoices, I knew that there was more that I would be able to do to help this small business become more efficient. I set up spreadsheet records of all of the customers, and immediately was able to use them to speed up the process of making invoices. I then set up a spreadsheet to compute monthly sales tax figures faster, which in turn also helped me better keep track of late and delinquent accounts. By december 2001 I had set up a spreadsheet that I could use to compute bookkeeping, and the following year I began its use to compute the entire year's bookkeeping records. (In which our acountant found only a single computational error) During the course of learning bookkeeping I also learned how to process payroll, which I helped with as needed.

I did many general tasks for the Tucson Textile, including answering phones, processing customer orders by phone and fax, helping in any way I could to make the business and office better, and to generate sales. In 2003 I participated in an online auction that earned Tucson Textile its largest contract. I left Tucson Textile in August 2004 to move to Tempe, Arizona....
