EXPERIENCE
Everyone’s place, North Avenue — Retail worker

This store was my favorite store and I worked there in the beginning of my junior year. During my time there I built a wonderful relationship with the owner, to this day. I worked in the store every other day from 4:40 to when it closed. I cleaned the store after it closed, I worked with customers on and off the register, and I did restocking every week. I quit during a very stressful time in my life, that I have moved passed, but the owner and I remain a close relationship to this day.
