While working for myself I went under my fathers guidance as he runs his own landscaping business.

My job as a crew member at McDonald's required me to learn the responsibilities of working in the fast food industry. This included attentiveness and alertness, customer service skills, time management, as well as constant attention to detail seeing as you're dealing with the health of others.
