Summary
Recent industrial engineering graduate seeking an operations coordinator role. Combines a warehouse internship, a capstone that cut mock-order cycle time 22%, and campus leadership that required clear handoffs — not a decade of management titles.
Education
University of Wisconsin–Madison B.S. Industrial Engineering, May 2026. GPA 3.6/4.0
Relevant coursework: Operations Research, Quality Engineering, Supply Chain Analytics, Technical Communication
Experience
Operations Intern — Lakeside Cold Storage, Madison, WI May 2025 – August 2025
Tracked inbound appointments for Dock 3; reduced same-day missed check-ins from 9 per week to 4 by sending a noon exception list to the lead receiver.
Built a simple receiving checklist the intern cohort still used after August (12 steps, one page).
Shadowed Friday invoice-to-cash huddles; documented three handoff mistakes that finance later turned into a process note.
Shift Assistant (part-time) — Campus Copy Center, Madison, WI Sep 2023 – May 2026
Trained 8 student employees on the rush-job ticket so jobs stopped disappearing into personal DMs.
Cut reprint waste 15% over two semesters by adding a “confirm file version” check before the press ran.
Projects
Capstone — Simulated dispatcher queue for a 12-truck regional fleet Spring 2026
Modeled intake vs. ad-hoc radio calls; recommended a single queue. Simulated cycle time improved 22% in the team’s test set of 400 orders.
Wrote the training one-pager the faculty advisor used with the next student team.
Campus & community
Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE), UW chapter — Events lead, 2025–2026; ran 4 plant tours with 30+ students each.
Volunteer logistics, Madison Food Collective — Saturday inbound coordinator, 2024–2026; trained new volunteers on a 6-step receiving card.
Skills
Excel (pivot tables, basic stats) · Process mapping in documents (not specialized BPMN software) · Written SOPs and checklists · Spanish (professional working proficiency)
What this document is
An entry-level resume is a single-column, standard-heading document aimed at students and early-career applicants. It is still ATS-oriented. It is not a guarantee that any employer’s parser will rank you.
When to use it
Use this when internships, coursework, and projects are the strongest proof. Use the ATS-Friendly Professional Resume when you have substantial reverse-chronological work history.
How to use this ZuffSuite template
Lead with education if it is recent. Quantify internships and projects. Keep headings conventional so a parser and a recruiter see the same order.

Questions people actually ask
- Should I include GPA?
- Include GPA when it is requested or when it is a strength. Otherwise skills, projects, and internships usually matter more.
- Will this pass every ATS?
- No template can promise that. Clean headings and a single column reduce common parsing problems. Employers still use different software and human review.
