Bakery Associate
June 2018 - August 2019 • Winchester, VA
What I liked
The people that work here were incredibly kind and helpful. I was able to be given a non-official leadership role over a couple of associates as we attempted to meet deadlines and provide the customer with a memorable and inviting experience. Throughout the summer, I had the privilege to create friendly and engaging relationships with not only several associates and with upper management but also with many customers that frequented the store.
What I wish was different
Honestly, it was a very ideal job. The physicality involved was not very taxing; the work was fairly monotonous but this made the work easier before it ever made altogether boring.
Advice
No job is too menial for you not to try your best, to shine into others' lives (whether associate or customer), and to learn from the work and the conversations, really the experiences.
