My first grown-up job, the first one...

My first grown-up job, the first one...
My first job I remember it like it was yesterday, in the hot sizzling summer waiting for my Regional Occupational Program teacher to show up for our class. In this class my teacher was a cool teacher, she told us about everything to know about getting a job and keeping one. She showed us the real goals of getting a good job.She showed us how to dress, how to write a resume, how to find a good job, and even had us act out an interview for a job. She even told us how to speak and shake hands with the boss or manager. She basically taught us everything to know about getting a job.

My first job at Footlocker was the best experience I went though as a sixteen year old. That job showed me the real meaning of hard work and the skills I needed to know. I learned how to fold shirts, how to find a section type of shoe and time management was the hardest to handle. The bus did not run on the same time I need to be at work. But working at Footlocker was a great experience. I thank Ms. Wilson for that great experience.

I also worked in retail at SEARS. I learned how to be responsible and loved my job as a sales person.
