Joe, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to be interviewed. What is a typical workday like for you at UNEX?
A typical workday is starting at 8 am after getting my job request from my supervisor. I punch into the computer and start making the requested number of rollers on my machines. At the end of the day, I hand the completed paperwork to my supervisor.
