Looking at my resume, you might think that my only work experience has been “sit at a computer and do various things, perhaps punctuated by meetings”.
Here are a few things that I’ve done
- Ladder work: changing light-bulbs
- Ladder work: using a hammer to move signs around
- Used a palette jack to move glassware
- loading a freezer with retail product
- Chopped up ingredients in a commercial kitchen
- Served food to people (and handled cash at the same time: a tricky balancing act with gloves)
- Used a palette jack to help unload a truck
- Worked in a kitchen while someone said “behind” while walking behind me with a hot dish
- Answered customer questions face-to-face
- Given directions to people who were lost
- Used a high-pressure hose to clean concrete
