Making The Perfect Donburi At Genki Sushi

Early last summer, I was on my way to becoming a high school senior. This was one of the most exciting transitions of my high school career. My best friend Modolyne and I always told ourselves senior year must be epic, I mean it’s our last year, right? So, this meant we were participating in all school activities - which wasn’t free. My senior year spending was well over a thousand dollars. Together, we decided to apply to a local Chick-fil-A in hopes of getting a job. I felt anxious towards applying, I’ve never been on a register before and I feared being rejected. Days past after applying and I grew sad. The self-fulfilling prophecy of me not landing the job was slowly echoing in my mind day after day. I woke up one gloomy morning, telling myself to forget about

Over the summer I had gotten a job , as most high school students do.The fine establishment that had hired me was Lowe's.This job had everything I wanted for the summer, great hours which worked around me and summer school. And payed more than the minimum wage most jobs were offering. So why did I need a summer job well unlike most teens it wasn't because my parents told me to so that i learn how to manage money or even to get some new fresh set of rims or even a radio with the flashing LED lights. I needed the job to put food on the table pay the home bills and keep us from calling a place where we call home. The money needs our home had were tall and wide, My mother had lost her job working at a retail store, my older just came home from

At the beginning of this school year, I began to realize something. I realized that my high school years were coming to an end. This was an eye opener for me. I didn't know what to expect of my last year nor what I wanted to do after high school. I then began looking for a job. So I applied to Chick-fil-a. I waited patiently several weeks for a call, but received no call whatsoever. I patiently waited for a new opportunity to come along. Until finally, I was given an opportunity at an electrical shop. On the first day of work I was introduced to the staff and learned the procedures of what needed to be done. My job now was to maintain the shop clean and to keep all materials organized as well as other tasks that helped me grow with my skills.

Even the library was not open, so my mom suggested that I get a job. I decided to send my resume and fill out applications to the stores and restaurants of Fort McMurray. The first time I got an interview was in McDonalds and at first, it was an intimidating task to accomplish, especially when I have never experienced this before, but I thought that I had done a decent job on my interview. Unfortunately, I did not get the call. I assumed that I did not get the job. Then, I got an interview in Sobeys and this time, I used the knowledge from my last interview and applied it to this interview. I felt a bit more confident in this interview but again, they did not notify me about the job. After the second time, I started to doubt that I would be able to get a job for the summer. I was worried that no one would hire me. Finally, I got a call from Tim Horton’s for an interview. I was sure I would get the job. The manager informed me about the job. After the interview, they called me for training. I learned the basics about serving meals to the consumers. When I finished my training, they hired

I began working at the age of eight years old at the restaurant. For me it was exciting, I wasn’t doing anything that I did not do at home, but I was making money. For an eight year old it was like allowance but it was much more than any of my friends. My dad admired the fact that I always worked extra hard, but little did he know that I saw what happened to my older sibling who were trying to live a normal teenage life, and being shunned for not wanting to give their all to his dream. I was eight years old, I really did not have a choice. By the time I was ten years old, the restaurant had been going pretty well, so dad decided to open a candy store next door to the restaurant for guess who to manage, yes me. I was his pride and joy and he knew that with my hard work that I would be a success. Of course at ten years old, I was completely excited for the opportunity. Little did I know that the people that I would be managing would be my older siblings who were not to excited about having to answer to a ten year old.

The recession was becoming a huge thing for the American people in 2008. People began to lose their houses; people were laid off their jobs you see more homeless in the streets. Soon the American people were scared that the recession will soon hit to the depression. Unfortunately, my family were the ones effected by the recession and we end up losing are house and my father was laid off from his job so we end up living with are aunt. My father tries to get back to his feet by selling some are things in a garage sale. After all, that my dad decided to go to school for a CDL training program so he can become a truck driver. It took him 4 months until he got his CDL and then obtain a job at Bolingbrook. We were finally getting back to are feet and then I graduated in 2012 and then I decided to get a job instead of going straight to college. The reason I chose to get a job first was because so I can help my family; and to tell you the truth the job I obtain was my first job ever and the only reason I obtain this job because my father sister helped me get in so you can imagine how nervous I was when I first started. I really wanted to make a good impression and show them I was a hard worker. So the position they give me was shipping and receiving clerk and I’m like it doesn’t sound so hard.

In 2005, my father bought a Shell Gas Station in Lake Geneva. From the first day, my dad taught me how to count money and work the cash register. I had to stand on a step stool to see over the counter. For the first couple years, I had to work with someone at all times because of the cigarette and alcohol sales and a lot of the customers would tell me there were child labor laws against it but I would just shake my head and say no. I loved being there and working because I was spending time with my dad and the family we built within the business. During the summers, I would get up with my dad at four in the morning to go and open the store. Throughout the years I learned to do more and more and by the age of 10, I knew how to count money, cut

Throughout my high school career, I gradually took on more and more responsibilities in order to take full advantage of the time I had left in my parents’ house (where the bills pay themselves and there is no tuition to pay). The summer of sophomore year, I applied for a job at a local movie theater as a friendly popcorn salesman. From chatting with customers to enjoying my thirty minute break every work day, my minimum wage movie theater job

I am currently working for an after school program. The job is temporary until I find something better. I been applying to multiple jobs but I wasn’t getting pass the interviews. I told my friends and family members about my frustrations. My parents tell me to take my time and my friends relate to my frustrations. A couple of weeks ago a close friend of mine told me to apply where she works and I got the job. I will be starting this month.

I took a job on a whim based on a recommendation from a friend. As time passed, and I had been working consistently for a few years, I found myself at an interesting vantage point. I looked back at that directionless high-schooler and found that I no longer recognized him. I had matured and my mentality had changed. I think back to this moment, which I remember vividly, as the point where the fire within me was ignited and I realized the full potential of my own self-possessed motivation. I understood that I alone had the power to push myself forward. I dove headfirst into my career and the path toward higher

Leaving school meant that I had to go look for a job to support myself. Finding a job was easy than most people made it sounded to be as I acquired a job in less than three days at a temp agency. Never in my life have I ever had a real job this was my first job, but I did have experience working with my dad on fixing houses. The job was an assembly company where they build lawnmowers; the management that I was placed under was a nightmare, laziest boss in the world. Shortly after gaining experience I was promoted to a lead operator, a small manager, this was the first time that I was over twenty people who were all older than me. The company was quite terrifying as people were getting laid off and production was slow. At one point there were

When I turned fifteen and a half I was enabled to work and my mother showed me an ad on Facebook showing that the Santa Clarita Swap Meet was hiring high schoolers and I decided to go apply. The decision to apply is one of the best choices I’ve made. Even before I was hired the Swap Meet helped me, I had never had an interview for work before and during the hiring process I had two interviews one on the spot when delivering my application and another formal one. This already significantly helped me because later I had an interview for another job and I was hired on the spot, showing how much those interviews helped me. While on the job I learned many amazing things. I learned how to be tactful in situations where the customer is not satisfied

Financing an education can be a very difficult task. Having a job takes time away from other important areas of life, such a schooling, and friends. However, since I was paying for my education on my own, there was no way around getting a job. When trying to find a job I was looking for a job where I could feel challenged to think critically and that would keep me motivated. I choose to apply to the pharmacy because I thought that it would be a good way to become educated about medication, which would be beneficial as a veterinarian, as well as being a job that would keep me mentally engaged. After working there, I also realized that my work was very important to helping the people of the community that I live in. This gave my work a sense

When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to get a job. Sure, it would be a good way to make friends and learn how to prepare myself for the real world, but for me, it was mostly about making my own money. Having to ask my parents for cash every time I needed some annoyed me, mostly because they’d always say no. Every time they did, I would always whine and complain about how different things would be when I had money of my own, how I would never ask them for anything, and so on. This wasn’t entirely true, but at the time it seemed like a smart thing to say. I must’ve applied to dozens of jobs, and when I finally got the email telling

In July of 2016 I started working at my very first job. It was at one of the best places to get drinks, Sonic. I put my application in around the beginning of June for one position and then I put in another one in at the end of the month for a different position. I ended up getting a call two weeks later. I was really excited when they called me to come in for an interview. The night before the interview I spent about three hours practicing how to answers questions smartly and professionally so they would think I was mature enough for the job. Only a month before I have just turned 16 and that is the minimum age that they will hire. When I went into the interview I was fairly nervous and kept going over everything from the night before.
