Hy-Vee helped me restart my life. At the beginning of August of 2016, my family moved from Hampton, Iowa to Mason City, Iowa. My dad’s job is in Mason City so it made sense for us to move. When my family moved, I didn’t know anyone up here and I needed to quit my job in Hampton as I wasn’t earning enough for it to outweigh the worth of the drive back and forth every weekend. I scoured the area for a job opening for weeks with several rejections and few promising results. Without friends or anything else to put my time and effort into, I started to drive myself insane. In the last week of August, I applied for my job at Hy-Vee. Unexpectedly, within that week, I received a call from HR asking for me to come in for an interview. Given the track record of that month, I graciously accepted my interview. To my surprise, I was offered the job immediately following the interview. After that day, my life completely changed. Hy-Vee is the ideal job for me. …show more content…
Even though it is only a part-time job, Hy-Vee gave me a 63% raise compared to my last job and they still give me plenty of hours, which both help tremendously with inflating the amount I can transfer into my savings account each month. Moreover, when I have family obligations or the occasional time that I need days off, they work with me to ensure I still maintain the hours I desire to work and the days off I need. Furthermore, I received the opportunity to move up the corporate ladder marginally after only working there for five months. Additionally, with the constantly expanding reach of the Hy-Vee brand, when I move up to Minneapolis for college, there are several stores within driving distance. This job has also opened the door for me to create friendships with people I would have never had another opportunity to
Everyone has their first memory when they have to enter the adult world, mine just happened to be my junior year of high school. This year was just a little glimpse of what was going to be the rest of my life. Getting my first job was bitter sweet. I had to learn how to manage my time between school, sports, and now a job. After my first week of school I had to start my new job.
As teenager, many people say their adolescence is one of the most important phases in anyone’s life. As a teenager, you get to experience many great events like going to high school football games, dating your first boyfriend or girlfriend, getting your driver license, and graduating from high school. As I look back, I believe that getting my first job was the most important event in my adolescence. I was very enthusiastic about getting my first job. I enjoyed that fact that I will be able to earn my own money and not having to ask my mother for any earn. Surprising, there was only one obstacle that was holding me back and that was the fact that I was a
Working at KTXT was the best experience I have had in my professional life. I learned so much at that station that I have no choice but to donate to it when I actually make a decent living. I started out as an fall intern for a semester after taking the previous summer off from school. I always wanted to work in radio, and this was finally my chance to make that happen. And BOOM...I excel at the production side of things! I taught myself years before how to edit video, so editing audio just came natural to me. My production director was relieved that she did not have to teach another student how to edit audio. I was in! I was killing it; editing live shows, sports broadcast, promos, news stories, and then the end of the semester was creeping
Saturday afternoon I jump down from the tractor, splashing mud up my leg, coating my feet in unknown substances since I so naively decided to wear flip flops to work. I groan loudly, and gingerly climb into my truck to make my way home for lunch, glad I have a short day at work and can make my way home for a homemade burger. These have been my weekends for years, with the exception of winters where I am blessed enough to only have indoors work. My job at Windy Ridge Dairy has been time consuming and exhausting, yet beneficial. Full time in the summers and weekends during the school year, some weekdays, of work since 9th grade (summers since 7th) has been difficult, but I’ll never regret the traits such work has brought out in me.
This semester I feel I have grown more as an academic student and as a global citizen. I feel that our Job shadow project helped me be a better Academic student, and that the Malala field trip my school went to helped me become a Global Citizen.These two things have helped me become a better student in their own ways.
Once one night I had to work the night shift at Taco Bell. Other people who had worked there before me said that if you listened closely you could hear a soft banging noise on the walls. Some people ran for their lives other people never walked out of that Taco Bell and the police never found them. I feared nothing and those were all just myths anyways. Later I realized I was very very wrong.
Sophomore year was when i got my first job. It was April when i was hired and had found out about the job because my mom knew the owner of a store that was about to open. I had turned sixteen earlier the year before in September so this was my first real job. After an online application and an interview the job was mine. My first day i was very nervous. I was not feel comfortable talking to strangers or initiating conversation so i was anxious about the possibility of being in that uncomfortable situation. Nonetheless i arrived to the store mentally preparing myself for the day. To my relief i found out the store was a week away from being ready to open and i was saved from any interaction with any customers; although the threat still loomed in the near future. I spent the day assembling shelving, hanging signs, cleaning, and attempting to get the floor into working order. It was a long eight hour day of work. After a week of this the store was ready and we were called into a meeting to discuss opening day tactics. Among other tips and suggestions for how our new store should be run there was one requirement that stood out from the rest: each customer is to be
I am writing to express my desire to begin my nursing career with Hacienda HealthCare. The registerer nurse position at Los Ninos Hospital that you advertised in career link is of particular interest to me, but I would be pleased to discuss any full- or part-time employment opportunity for which you feel I may be qualified.
As I walk of of the A+P Mart from quitting my job because Lingle was being rude to these three women. I heard a loud "CRASH!" I ran around the block to find the girls that Lingle was being rude to upside down in a large SUV.

Growing up, I will admit that I struggled at times to communicate with individuals from other areas because of my southern drawl. I spent much of my time growing up around farmers and livestock, and never had to articulate words. It was not until my junior year of high school that I even recognized this as a problem. An individual from up North moved to my school and pointed this out to me. As I began my freshman year of college, I found this to be a noticeable problem as I had to repeat myself on numerous occasions. Over the course of my four years at UNC Charlotte, I have grown by leaps and bounds in this area. I can contribute much of the improvement to working in corporate America. Having interned at three companies, each one helped me
I’m a Customer Service Supervisor who loves to mentor and develop team members. I was a Customer Service Rep for Verizon for six years and then a Customer Service Team Lead for two years at Jackson Heights Delivery, where I supervised 14 call center reps in a fast-and-furious environment. I’m looking to join an organization that views excellent customer service as a competitive
Have you ever went to the store and looked at something like a toy or a electronic? I know I have wanted something so bad that I would do anything for it. Would you do anything for something you saw at the store.
Spending the last two years working full-time at my father’s hardware store has been a period of major personal growth for me. For the first time, I took on a serious role in the business. I was no longer the boss’ son: I was tasked with trying to turn around a business that had been struggling for quite some time.
