What I did: I contributed to the production of making pallets, boxes, crates and skids along with operating machine and using all kinds of tools like saws, hammers and grinders. What I liked: I really enjoyed operating the machines. Once you figure out how to use it effectively, you can really increase the production and crank out some pallets. Future Dream Job: My dream job would to be a forklift operator or truck driver.
What I did: I built relationships with accounts while selling and delivering live bait as well as obtaining a new minnow account by networking and convincing them that they should put minnows in their shop. I also helped around our shop, caught minnows, loaded trucks for out-of-state wholesale accounts and ran my sales region. What I liked: I enjoyed the ability to make my own hours and being able to talk to people and sell bait to help others share my same passion for fishing. Future Dream Job: My dream job would be working in sales or marketing in the outdoor industry with Vista Outdoors or other big name companies.
