WHAT MY FIRST JOB TAUGHT ME

Learning Responsibility

My first job was as a sales clerk in a small clothing shop. It wasn't a difficult job, and it wasn't really a very interesting job. Every weekend I had to open the store at 10:00 a.m. I couldn't be late. I helped customers find clothes, and I kept the store neat and clean. I learned how to choose and order new clothing. I used the cash register and handled credit cards, so I had to be very careful. Dressing neatly and professionaly was an important part of the job. These things all taught me responsibility. T don't work with clothing anymore, but I still use that important skill I learned in my first job.
