My Employment History

I started working when I was in grade 9. However, at that time my employment was not related to my career goals. As a matter of fact, I had not even thought of a career. I came to realize what I wanted to do in life as I preceded with my work experience and worked with better companies and in different positions. As mentioned in my previous post, I have also acquired some experience in business by starting my own little business. Every step I took and every other job that I did was a result of my previous achievements and experiences. I started off by working at the Dollar Store. It was obviously not a very good job and only a starter, but it was some valuable experience as it gave a head start to look forward to managing my time and money and also taught me some valuable customer service and communication experience which is to some extent related to my career goals.

My next job was a big jump up. I worked at the Best Buy Canada for the summer of 2008 and and learned a lot of valuable things and gained a lot of experience in an environment that I happened to like more than I could imagine. Working at Best Buy did not just feel big but also a bit professional because the company mainly deals with electronics which is one of my strong points. I possess a lot of knowledge in electronics and I believe it is a very valuable asset and helped me with my experience at the Best Buy. I worked there as a sales associate and learned a lot of customer service, communication and sales skills. I loved doing sales, and every time I would sell something, It felt like an achievement. This was where I learned that I love to sell and that it could be my strong point. I realized that I had a lot of interest in business and sales which also caused me to think about starting my own little platform where I could further polish my skills to sell for myself and have my own profits.

My last work experience was a similar my previous work. However, it was private business and required me to handle more duties. It was a private cellular phone store that sold a variety of cellular phones and accessories that are commonly not sold through even big Canadian providers like Rogers, Bell etc. My duties included handing sales, providing customer service and troubleshooting, stocking, handling cash and reporting financial documents. Overall, I am very pleased with my Employment history and I believe that with every opportunity taken I achieved something of a great value that will help me in my future.
