work. From humble beginnings we emerge! My first job was at Nordstrom as a cashier hired to work the busy seasonal sales and holidays. It was quite a lot to take on, and I learned and adapted as quickly as I could. I suppose we never know in the beginning where our lives and careers will lead us, and it’s always interesting to take a mental look back at the path we’ve followed.
The Seattle Times actually featured my story in their My First Job Career Section column. Over the years I’ve transition from cashier to sales and marketing staff to project management at some the world’s largest IT companies. Today, I’m a happy business owner of Champion Assistants and Holiday Assistants. It’s great to remember those days and think about how far I’ve come along the journey!
Please share your experiences with me, too! I’d like to know what you went through in your first job!
Best,
Heather
