Personal Narrative: Team Work

Improved Essays
It's late in the afternoon and I’m sitting on the couch, I check my phone to realize that no one had texted me. I sit there and wonder why no one had texted me, it soon bursted into my head that everyone was working. It was at that point I felt obligated to try to find my first job. I grabbed my laptop and searched fifteen different websites of job openings. But after all the searching and searching there was nothing that really fit me, finally I stumble upon Sky Zone and they are hiring for near me. This was the job for me working with kids playing; this is what I wanted to do. So I sent them my resume. About two days later I checked my email and noticed that Sky Zone had replied and wanted me to come in for a group interview. As the time got closer I …show more content…
I got into the car and started to head to the group interview I couldn’t even hold my phone my palms were so sweaty from being nervous. When I walked into the group interview I saw a bunch of chairs in a circle and a few boys wearing suits. I then thought to myself “what if I don't get the job because I’m under dressed”. What if I'm that one kid who doesn't get the job because of my attire? As the time went on during the interview I started to get a little more comfortable with everyone and was breaking out of my shell. About two days after the interview I had acknowledged an email from the regional manager Chris offering me a position as a cashier. There were not words to describe how happy and accomplished I felt to know that I got my first job. It was a feeling like never before; I officially can make my own money and buy my own things. Now the hard part came, meeting new people and starting a new chapter in my life. On day one of orientation they handed us a bunch of paperwork that weighed as much as a bunch of bricks,

    As I walked into the small building, that in fact looked very enormous at the time, I began to anticipate every answer I would give to the person who interviewed me, so that to them, I would at least seem prepared. Although I had practiced my interviewing skills that very morning, I felt anxious and worried. Not knowing what to expect, many different scenarios ran through my mind, all of which weren't making my situation any better. Questions after questions were asked, all which seemed impossible for me to answer, and I felt as though I blew the whole thing. After the interview, many days passed by, and I had convinced myself that I did not get job.…

    Two months ago, I received a job interview to work at an assisted and independent living facility called Cascade Inn, and to say it went well would be stretching the truth a bit far. At the start, my nervousness was clearly showing through my continuous strained smile and timid voice, leading up to the lagging in my brain as I struggled to comprehend some of the questions. More likely convinced from my mom and older sister’s work relation there, I was hired. From the beginning, I was a typical young teenager with low self-esteem scared to do anything wrong. I was frightened of the possibilities of failure, but these previous months at work completely altered my view to where I now feel comfort in the people I work with.…
