I"m about two weeks from being 46. I worked in a grocery store in high school as a bagger. Went from there to a 6 year hitch in the Navy. From there I applied and got on in a fab shop doing MIG welding building truck bodies for just over 2 years. Went from there to a heavy equipment repair shop for a significant raise, but only stayed for about 90 days because the boss was a real PITA. From there is was on to an industrial maintenance position in a hot dip galvanizing plant, again for a decent raise, and stayed there for over a year. Was asked to go, and left there with my boss, and several other guys, for another maintenance position with a new company, again for an increase in pay and better benefits. Stayed there for just over 90 days until it became clear the idiots that owned the place didn"t have a clue....long story short,, got fed up and quit there one Sunday morning with nothing else lined up because things just got that bad....Applied, and interviewed for another maintenance position with a concrete company on Tuesday and started on Thursday after passing the pee test. Stayed there, and really enjoyed the work, the management, and the environment in general for a little over 2 years. Finally left there when Dad"s business picked up to the point he needed help. Been working either with Dad, or on my own for going on 16 years now.
To my knowledge the only position I actually had any real competition for was the one with the concrete company. Everwhere else I was pretty much offered the position because of the varied knowledge base I have, and the variety of skills I brought to the table. Thankfully I still rely on those traits to keep myself in business and the customers calling.
