I started my first summer job at this Automotive Dealership in grade nine, where I maintained the grass and cleaned the service shop. After working year round for my entire high school career, my responsibilities grew to include professional interior and exterior detailing of vehicles, assisting mechanics in the service shop, and shuttling both government contract vehicles to the Department of National Defense and customer vehicles to other dealerships.I keep this on here as a reminder of skills I learned such as a great attention to detail and a strong work ethic. As well as a reminder to myself of where I started and how far I have come.
