Was working in food service in 2009 as a low level employee, but I was morning shift. 5:30 am. I showed up on time everyday. The morning shift manager had her baby 3 months early and since I was the only one there on time, they handed me keys to the store & said you're morning shift manager. I worked hard and I realized I was good at it. Changed majors in school to business management, put myself through my two year degree, was promoted to store manager.
After I had my two year degree, was ready to get out of restaurant industry for a while. It was enough to get me hired as inventory specialist. I realized I was good at that, too. Put myself through the last 18 months of school, got promoted to inventory manager.
