Seasonal Sales Associate

June - August 2019 • West Des Moines, IA

What I liked

It was great to get "real" work experience--it felt like I had a better idea of what it would be like to work after college, since the majority of my co-workers were non-students.

What I wish was different

I'm a bit worried about how this experience will feed into my future career interests, so I wish I had taken more time beforehand to consider the way that this position will fit into my career path.

Advice

It's a really good job if you haven't worked full time or haven't worked very much full-time before. As long as you are attentive, polite, and responsible, you probably won't face any serious issues working here.

I found the work rewarding. It is a pretty close group to work with where most all of the employees work towards the success of the entire store. The compensation is fair and they are willing to work with a reasonable schedule.

What I wish was different

I wish they would do scheduling differently- this is pretty common most places though.

Advice

To not be afraid to speak up about being over scheduled

Sales Associate

May 2018 - August 2019 • Rosenberg, TX

What I liked

My favorite part of the job was working directly with my customers as well as using my knowledge to help my co-workers come up with safe, quick, and more efficient solutions to problems.

What I wish was different

I wish that my most recent Summer would have been as busy, if not, more busy than my first Summer while I was working for Lowe's Home Improvement; I enjoyed the challenge of being pushed to my intellectual limits during my first Summer there. I learned more about the company and more importantly about myself as to how well I work under pressure among other personal qualities whenever I was most busy. I was able to practice my leadership skills by taking charge of situations that involved obtaining the right product(s) for my customers.

Advice

By using my personal skills while working at Lowe's, I developed such a great passion for my job that customers who knew nothing about me aside from what they read on my name-tag would occasionally ask me, "Are you an Engineer?" or something similar; I would usually ask them why they would ask such questions or how they knew that I was an Engineering student. Their usual response would be something like, "Because of how well you come up with solutions/ideas." or "Because you are so good at math." or "Because of how well you talk." or "Because of how you carry yourself." or answers that were similar. My advice would be for one not to limit their skills to a specific job they are working towards but to use their skills to the best of their ability in every job they get hired for whether it relates to their desired future career or not.
