Out of all the jobs I’ve had, there was one that was the worse and one job that was the best.

The worse job was when I worked at this career development institution. Some responsibilities were answering the phones, filing documents, using excel and access for data use and creating appointments between case managers and clients, running local errands, and giving out tests to students. But that wasn’t the worse part. The worst part was how unprofessional the building ran.

The best part of working there was being able to gain the experience and later on in life say that I have worked there. This job is where I first had to dress professional. I got along with my coworkers, I loved my boss, and the pay was very good. It was such a great experience to have worked at a business place like that before I even graduated high school. They were very understanding towards me and made sure I had all of the resources I needed to carry me through college.

 It taught me how to be professional, hardworking, and patient. I had to deal with a lot of people. Many people with different personalities came through the place; some with great attitudes and others with rude attitudes. Before this job, I wouldn’t have known how to handle those situations professionally. What I learned about the workplace is that the responsibilities there are far different than the responsibilities in high school. Nobody is babysitting you. You have to know when to wake up and be there on time, and also fulfill your responsibilities while you are there. What I learned about myself is that I became a zealous employee, and I can do whatever I put my mind to.
