During this time I did a tremendous amount of work with Xcell, and received a lot of on-the-job training on Xcell operations. I was involved in constant updating of spec. Books for customers, and computer operating systems, use of several different types of high speed copiers, and on going training of all aspects of customer service.


Wrote an article for the company on fiscal responsibility, which was published in our local newsletter.

I was responsible for the sample runs, selection, reports, and
