Be prepared to talk about the most recent separation. Ask AnnMarie for some good wording to use, I would think.

Focus on the volume of work and sales for each location. Doing inventory, you should have an idea of how much product moved through the shops in a week, or day. Add that to the ability/responsibility statements. Use this to show how you went from Storehouse ($70,000 of product weekly) to Albertsons ($120,000 of product weekly) to Sams ($500,000? of product weekly) so it shows how as your skills progressed so did the level of responsibility and the volume of work.

Also, additional tools used. The autowrappers. The fat-content cooker at Albertsons. The specialized training you have and licensing (forklift, hydrolics, cleaning, etc.) mention the certifications, or licensing and how long you have been certified to do those activities.

You first learned about equipment sanitation at stouffers which you do not need to include on your resume anymore, but you could mention that when college age, you had a student-style job where you cleaned production food equipment and remember a lot of that and have built on that for workspace sanitation over the years.

Just a few quick thoughts.

At that time, the teachers of the classes thought all gaps should be filled with points (LDS mission from/until, training, schooling). I am not certain if that is still the case. In your case, you worked at the bronze factory. While that is not important to meat cutting, it does show that you were employed. I wonder if you should pad a bit more by stating that you are certified. (Oops. I just read Todd's reply and all of this is already there. Use his suggestions over mine because he hires people, as does Shawn. 

One question: Why do you have bullets as well as commas. Doesn't the bullet do the job?

I will run it by Dad if he ever gets off the phone (Auntie H, scouts, Julie, High Priests, Temple Shift Coordinator).
