Extracurricular Work History

My first paying job was at the age of 16 for a brand-new Taco Bell with an all-girl crew. Now that I’m reminiscing of those times it brings back good memories of hard work and fun times with a new set of people (co-workers and customers). It was such a learning experience, for me personally having this job was a life saver and helpful money wise. I was a junior in high school and had a lot of extracurricular expenses that at that time my parents didn’t have the means to help with. It was challenging to keep up with my grades, afterschool programs and work but I made it happened with a lot of courage not to quit and learning time management. My parents were proud of me for keeping it all in control and not falling behind in my school work. Working at this fast food restaurant helped me with so much experience in customer service and hospitality.

One of the first jobs I ever got when I was younger was being a cashier at a Save- a Lot grocery store. I was 15 years old and I absolutely loved that job.

The rewards for getting a job at an early age are endless! Whether it be making more friends, or building confidence; from learning the values of responsibility to saving up for

When I was about six or seven years old I used to help my dad out in the yard and as I mentioned earlier in the restaurant setting. This is where my dad would teach me the value of hard work and doing the job right. As I got older if I didn't do the job right my dad would always tell me to man up and make it right. Therefore due to the fact that I am always willing to do the job right one should hire me.

At this time children started working at a young age. The necessity of supporting their families, which caused child labor, forced children to start working at a very young age. In rural America, it was such a common practice for children to start working on farms at such a young age, that they picked up the trade before they became teenagers. According to Rosenberg, “by the age of ten, the farm boy began to acquire a workmen's identity of his own. He was capable

I was ten years old at the time and my family and I were struggling financially day to day. The best option for us was for me to start working to help ends meet, so

So both the company and I were fairly new to the intern and company relationship. I think it worked out well the first person I met was the former vice president of operations Michael fink. I met mike at the career fair that was held in the lane university center. He told me they were looking for guys to do summer work and that they also had a mass communication internship opportunity. A few weeks later I met with vice president of development Gregory frank.

I began working at the age of eight years old at the restaurant. For me it was exciting, I wasn’t doing anything that I did not do at home, but I was making money. For an eight year old it was like allowance but it was much more than any of my friends. My dad admired the fact that I always worked extra hard, but little did he know that I saw what happened to my older sibling who were trying to live a normal teenage life, and being shunned for not wanting to give their all to his dream. I was eight years old, I really did not have a choice. By the time I was ten years old, the restaurant had been going pretty well, so dad decided to open a candy store next door to the restaurant for guess who to manage, yes me. I was his pride and joy and he knew that with my hard work that I would be a success. Of course at ten years old, I was completely excited for the opportunity. Little did I know that the people that I would be managing would be my older siblings who were not to excited about having to answer to a ten year old.

The summer of 2014, I interned at the Economic Development Office for the state of Texas. The office was tasked with preparing relocation incentives for companies in order to create jobs. The office was split into different departments totaling about 45 people.

I was lucky enough to be able to do my intern at the same organization that I am currently

Interning at TSR I learned a lot in the fields of retail, business, and organization. Being a retail store, I learned a lot. I learned how to check products with their shipping slips

I have been interning with Morningstar in Sydney for almost a month. Having no previous experience in finance and business world, I consider every day at the office extremely exciting and thrilling.

This quarter I interned at Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles (MAW GLA). Over the summer, I was offered multiple intern positions with small public relations firms, but I decided to go with a non-profit because this is the kind of field I would like to enter once I graduate. I first heard about this internship through a friend but I was not interested because it is a nonprofit organization. I decided to give it a try. Getting the internship required applying, a phone interview and an in-person interview with the person in charge of the department you applied for.

The first company I talked to was actually by accident and that was Penske the moving truck company. I was scouring the map for companies that offered internships for human sciences and was having little success when all of the sudden I heard a voice say "Looking for a job, Ethan?". I was startled when I heard this and I
