My Employment History

At the age of 15, I landed My first job. I began working at a family-owned restaurant, located in Scarborough, as a waiter and dishwasher. I worked for about a year before moving to Brampton, where I got a job at Mandarin as a Busboy. My duties included collecting used dishes to be washed and putting out newly wash dishes in serving area. I did not last more than 6 months due to school. I had to resign. A couple of years later, a year before going to college, I got hired at a Vietnamese restaurant waiting tables and serving customer’s food. Again I did not stay for more than a year. College was somewhat far so it would be difficult for me to work unless it was nearby school. That’s when I found out that the Student Union food service was hiring. I was hired as a food server. Then the college went on strike and I was forced to quit. I went back to Brampton and ask one of my previous managers if they needed any one. Luckily I was given a chance to work at a Vietnamese restaurant again. A year later they decided to close their restaurant and I decided to focus on school. It wasn’t to long until I got a job at Shoppers Drug mart as a Merchandiser and I proud to say that it was my first retail store.

Profile

Hello! You’ve reached my blog and this is my profile. My name is Archie G. I’m a first year business student. I am majoring in finance. Before choosing this program I’m in now, I have been unsuccessful and indecisive about my career path. I was sure I wanted to be a graphic designer. But getting into the program I want was difficult to get into and very competitive. I have submitted my portfolio at Sheridan however I was not able to get into the program. So I tried changing my career path. I went to Humber College and took culinary. It was fun but it didn’t suit me. i love cooking but I don’t see myself working in a kitchen for the rest of my life. So I decided to take a stop school to gather my thoughts of what I want to do. While taking this break, I was working to save money. A year has past and I have decided to take a business program. By enrolling into a business program at Sheridan College I hope it will give me a solid foundation to my career path. I know it will!
