  • Hello my first job was a cashier at a max convienence store working overnight and i learned  good customer service how to work unsupervised and keeping to a schedule. I still cant believe they let me work overnight alone considering how young i was and three months later i got robbed at gun point and after that i did not want to work there anymore so i went for carpentry traning and that was a better fit for me.thank you and have a nice day

      Wow Josh, that's pretty crazy. Sounds like carpentry was a good switch!

      Wow! I'm not sure I'd ever want to work again if I was held at gun point at my first job. Having my own wood shop is on my bucket list. I can't say I'm any good, but I loved making things back high school shop class.
