My third job was completely different than my\nprevious work experiences. This time I worked in the food industry. Fox’s Pizza\nDen was a new pizza shop opening in Grove City and they were looking for\nemployees willing to work as much as possible since they were planning their\ngrand opening. I stopped in randomly during August their second day of being\nopen and talked to the manager, Scott. I talked with him about how I didn’t\nwant to work at the Outlets anymore since it was such a drive (I didn’t have my\ndriver\u2019s license until later this same year, so getting rides to the Outlets\nwas a bit of a pain sometimes.) and I really didn’t enjoy retail work. He was\nhappy to have me apply and handed me an application, told me to bring it back\nin when I started, which was the next day! I was shocked at how quickly he\nhired me, but I was thrilled to have a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day I walked into the shop and was\nshown around the place, handed three work shirts, and was put to work! Now I\nhad no idea what I was doing, since I hadn’t worked in pizza before, so a girl\nwho was a manager at the shop, Hope, started showing me how to make a pizza,\nfrom stretching out the dough, the sauce, and the toppings. Honestly, it felt\nsomething like a puzzle at first. As I worked for the next 6 hours, I was\nfinally starting to get the hang of it, and I was having a blast with the other\nemployees. Hope ended up becoming a close friend of mine for 2 years after I\nstopped working at Fox’s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fox’s was my longest job, August through\nJanuary. I would have stayed longer, but I ended up moving to Pittsburgh for a program\nand had to quit. Throughout my time at this job I learned more about sales, and\nabout people, than I ever had before at a job. I had to deal with people who\nwere really broken and hurting, and who brought that into the work place, and\ncustomers who sometimes, were just really mean. This taught me that showing\nGod’s love to everyone I interact with is so crucial. I had to figure out how\nto be kind, and authentic in my “sales person” side of the job, as\nwell as the “fellow employee” part. It was sometimes extremely hard\nto stay positive, because everyone seemed upset, but when I was willing to just\nput myself out there and be genuine and kind, people responded. They were kind\nin return most of the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were others though, who were just never\nnice. They just didn’t care how sweet you were to them, and how much you did to\naccommodate them, they were just not having it. I had to come to the\nrealization that just like in everyday life, you can’t fix everyone. You can’t\nmake everyone happy all the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fox’s taught me so much about myself, about\nhow I interact with others, and about what kind of employee I want to be, and I\nam so thankful for how God used that experience to shape me and grow me to be\nmore like Him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
