Glover Nursery

Landscape Designer

May 2018 • West Jordan, UT

What I liked

I liked getting paid by the design project as well as an hourly wage and bonuses for working in the nursery. I liked the flexibility, Independence, and professional support.

What I wish was different

I wish I had had a few more design projects this summer.

Advice

It's nice to design for a nursery, rather than independently, because you can leverage the company's reputation and don't have to focus on marketing yourself all the time.

Cashier

May - August 2019 • West Jordan, UT

What I liked

The people there were all so nice! I interacted with amazing people from many different backgrounds. Even though my position was a cashier, I was the first person customers came with questions to, and I answered the phone regularly. I was able to use some of the knowledge I had gained from a Field Botany course I had taken by identifying trees/shrubs, and I used knowledge gained from a Soil Science course to recommend fertilizers and other soil applications. I even made a connection with someone who had graduated from a similar program to mine at BYU. I performed many other roles than simply ringing up customers' orders.

What I wish was different

It was more than I expected from a simple summer job, and I don't wish anything had been different!

Advice

You can gain experience and make connections in places you wouldn't expect to have any influence on your future career.
