WORK FOR A WORKING GIRL In our lifetime it would it would behoove us to attain some type of career to maintain our livelihood and provide for ourselves and our families. Any person that is able to accomplish this goal and more has a superlative advantage in life and can succeed at almost anything. Especially when we are not exactly thrilled about our current occupation or job. I have had some good jobs and some bad jobs, but both experiences taught me a lot about the work industry and what a typical environment will be like. My first and worst job that involved real tax deductions was when I worked for a real estate company in Southern California. I would direct the home buyers and realtors to the model homes and twirl the signs in different locations depending on the sales event. I wasn't exactly exhilarated about the experience for the main reason of being outdoors for the majority of the shift. The starting pay for my age of 16 was pretty good though because I started at 11 an hour which taught me that you can benefit good from the bad. That job helped me look challenges in the face and adapt to change since I would not always be at the same remote location. I also struggled with the physicality of my job functions because the signs were extremely big and the weather was not ideal. My best job was when I became a Denim/New Wave specialist at Bloomingdale's in San Francisco and it is also the position that I was able to make a decent amount of money. There are times that I wish I still worked there because of the network of people I was associated with everyday. I did well there and I learn the most about people. I think the skills that I learned there will help me the most during internship and cultivate the virtues of patience and dependability that I utilized while working in the Y.E.S. dept at that high-end retail store. Ultimately, my professional skills and sense of composure will help me shine best!
