Chase King

This is a temporary gig turned permanent, but I essentially do a bunch of odd jobs. Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, AC, you name it. I’m doing everything from fixing drywall to shoveling horse maneuver on a ranch. I can’t really describe what I do in full, because it’s kind of an amalgamation of Random specialized tasks that I’m just figuring out as I go along. The biggest benefit of this job is that I’m learning how to do things that I had no idea how to do before. I’m learning how to learn, and that is the most handy skill that I have.

While at this job, I cleaned, installed, and tore out windows. I mostly worked on one big job in the time that I was there. It was a 15 story waterside condo complex. I got a lot of experience with power, tools, and safety equipment, and it was through working with an ungodly community that pushed me towards my decision to follow God. This was the turning point for me.

In this position, I took orders, handled food, set up, and tore down. The main aspects of this position were being friendly to customers, being efficient at taking orders, and janitorial work, which I grew to love.

I did demo work and carpentry in this stage of my career. I built decks, and attempted roofing.

This was the first run of Panera for me, and I worked as a cashier. I worked with people, worked with food, and did a lot of janitorial work. I learned how to get good at doing the same routine over and over and over again.
