In
March of 2004, I began working at my current place of employment, The Home
Depot. I work at the Home Depot in Buckhead, Georgia
for now. When I move back to Gainesville, Georgia in January 2005, I hope
to transfer to the Home Depot there.
The Home Depot has been my first retail job and it has been an
eye-opening experience to say the least.
I plan to work for The Home Depot until I finish my BA at Georgia State. If it's "in the cards", I
wouldn't mind working at the company's corporate headquarters after
graduation. I have tried several
times to seek employment and internships at corporate, but nothing has
happened as of yet. I'll make sure
to keep you posted on any developments.
And, if you are reading this and you know some people within the
company, I wouldn't be opposed to you passing along my contact
information/resume.
Before
working at the Home Depot, I worked for a company called ZUA Autoparts,
Incorporated in Gainesville,
Georgia. ZUA is an automotive supplier of power
steering systems to several different customers including Nissan, Ford,
Chrysler, Mitsubishi, BMW, NASCAR, and several others. I started working at ZUA October of 1998
when I was a senior in High School.
When I graduated from High School, the people of ZUA just couldn't
let go, so I stayed for the next five years until I left in March of 2004
to work at The Home Depot.
Before
I worked at ZUA, I worked as a "bag boy" for the Publix in
Oakwood. I was there from February 1999-August 1999, at which time I
started working at ZUA. Before Publix, the only other job I had was as a
summer job at a sandwich counter in an old pharmacy in downtown Gainesville (Lawrence
Pharmacy).
Each
job has been an educational experience and I suppose the one thing I've
always liked about all the jobs I've had is that I've been able to work
closely with other people to solve problems. For more detailed information about my
job skills and the places I have worked, please look over my resume.
