Cashier

May - August 2018 • Washington, DC

What I liked

The different skills i develped being out in different situations. For example dealing with a complaint from a customer, the speed in which i worked, how efficiently i was able to get the job done and so forth.

What I wish was different

I wish it was at a different location closer to home, but still paid the same amount. It was a hastle trying to get to work on time because of the trains and buses.

Advice

I would say some jobs like this might seem pointless now because they’re just summer jobs, but actually pay attention to the things you learn because the skills you abstain with summer jobs you can take anywhere with you and be successful.

What I wish was different

Advice

Don’t be ashamed if your first summer job out of college isn’t a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you need money, getting a job at a place like Chipotle is perfectly fine. If you can swing a summer without a paycheck, try to get volunteer opportunities or internships closer to your field of study.

What I liked

It was a change of pace opportunity to engage with the community from food service and learn preparing techniques

What I wish was different

I wish I got an internship or research position back home.

Advice

Don't feel bad taking an entry level low skill job the summer after freshman year. It can be an eye opening experience in addition to a source of income.
