The one accomplishment that marked my transition from being a child into becoming an adult would have to be when I got my first job at Culver’s. This accomplishment was a major milestone in my life which lead to many other great things to follow it.

At first I was a nervous wreck, but with the help of some really good friends with some good tips on how to dress, talk, and answer some of their tougher questions.

I've learned so much from working there like leadership, responsibility, and a great work ethic. I believe that all the things that I am learning at my job will lead to greater success in my future with college and my career after college.

    When we first received this project, Ken Dickinson, was the first person I thought would benefit the class. Since he is the owner of two Culver’s franchises, I figure there would be a lot he could explain to us that will help us for the future. In regards to that, I was not always able to talk to him; especially since we were at work. The day after we received this project, I arrived to Culver’s before my shift and explained the “W’s” of this project and proceeded to get him email to send him further information. He was a great candidate for the project because he had the knowledge of starting from the bottom, working side-by-side with a corporation, getting to own a company with many employees, dealing with money and schedules, and complying…

When the customer ask for to speak with Tom Cushner she could have said “You have the wrong number but let me see if I get you to someone or the Deptment he works in.” She was rude by just telling that she didn’t have the number and not trying to get the caller who he wanted to talk to. She could have taken the time to look up the number and get the caller to aleast the right department. Every call should be handled with good customer service and be as helpful as possible even you may not know the answer you should try to get the caller to someone who does.…
