Life isn’t a straight path—it’s more like a dynamic highway filled with diverse routes, various vehicles, and invaluable experiences, such as the soft skills learnt at work. Looking back, I see how each job, with its unique challenges and lessons, has helped me grow. My career path wasn’t straight, but that’s what made it exciting and enriching.
Here’s a glimpse into my unique career journey and some of life’s important lessons:
🛍️ Salesclerk in Retail: My first job might seem simple, but it was here I discovered the power of a smile and a positive attitude. Talking to different customers every day taught me patience and how to connect with people on a deeper level.
