When I turned 16 I was told to get a job or I couldn't use my car. I went down to a local store where one of my friends worked and applied for a stock position. The next day I was in there and the store was short handed, the manager asked me if I wanted to work, and I started the same day. I advanced all the way through the store level positions over the course of a few years and then I applied for to an inventory analyst position at the corporate level and got promoted. That's where I am now a total of 8 years later.
