Gaps
- There is a gap between my job at Schmidt Equipment and Odwalla. When the economy was really bad I had to work temporary and part time jobs to make ends meet.
- The small gap between Odwalla and Tropicana was when I tried another line of work for a Servpro Franchise. That was a poor fit for me and my family, but I’d be happy to use them as a reference.
