I am 21 years of age and i have been working since i was 17. I have been independent since 18 meaning no longer depend on mom and dad as in living situation and financial situations. I am a hard and , eager worker in any task put in front of me. I have a mechanical apprentice background, i would love to continue. I would eventually love to continue working in the automotive industry and finish my certifications as a mechanic one day.
I started in the front end helping customers as in selling parts helping with battery installs. Eventually got promoted to driver the company vehicles to deliver car parts to local shops. I would have to lift parts weighing over 50 pounds most of the time, i was also timed and gps tracked on each delivery.
At this warehouse i would unloaded and package snapple and monster drinks. Heavy lifting up to 60 pounds and this was a fast pace work aswell. I would operate a forklift sometimes to move the product to the trucks to take them to their destination. I worked at this job for about 9 months till work slowed down.
I got hired at amazon packaging and sorting orders. I tried to get on the forklift but was a long waitlist so i just worked in general labor. This was also a far commute since my location is in victorville ca but was the only job i could find in the meantime.
As a apprentice i would preform oil changes, brakes, inspect vehicles for other repairs. Sometimes i would take on harder tasks like diagnosing, troubleshooting, removing fuel tanks, tire changes , axles , suspension components.
I worked this job seasonal. i would operate a forklift and re wrap propane tanks. I would refill propane tanks and when trucks would come in i would load up the trucks with the forklift. This job was seasonal and was also a far commute.
I started this job shortly after walmart, this job taught me to be clean and work at a fast pace. I used to clean high-end cars and trucks sometimes even semi trucks. i really liked this job and this turned into a trade i still do on my spare time. i eventually worked my way into management, i would file paperwork, schedule clients and invoice clients the payment.
I started this job during covid, i had to keep a clean and sanitized work area at all times. i worked as a cashier during the day and would pick up night shift for overstocking the shelfs.
