Hey what's up it's Rob here today I want to do something a little bit funner
we played a game as a family called two truths and a lie and I shared three jobs
that I had when I was much younger that are not shared on LinkedIn and so I
thought it would be fun to share those three jobs with you and also ask you to
share at least one job that you had when you were much younger or maybe not so
much younger that are not on LinkedIn - I think it'll be really funny
number one McDonald's - McDonald's was my first job as a 16 year old grade 10
kid in high school - my buddy had hooked me up he was already working there he
went to school with me and I worked there at least twice a week after school
first job was cooking fries and I learned so much I did all the positions
I worked there for about two years from grade 10 till about grade 12 - I learned
so much about customer service, scheduling, teamwork, working with
different personalities - looking back and future job interviews - I mentioned
McDonald's in my resume up until probably when I was 21 or 22
really helped to have McDonald's experience because of the training
system that McDonald's had - that's my first job - here's job number two that's
not mentioned in my LinkedIn profile - alright number two
I sold calendars - phone sales - calendars and swag to Realtors to give away to
their clients it was at a branding company - it was a promotional items company if
you're from Vancouver it's a company based in a city called Richmond that job
really taught me sales, marketing, how to deal with objections on the phone - wasn't
the funnest job - I don't enjoy sales you guys probably noticed that with me when
you talk to me I'm not a sales guy I'm a marketing guy but that was my first real
taste of hardcore phone sales - eight hours a day and I did that when I was in
college part time on the weekends so there you go that's job number two that's
not on LinkedIn - here's job number three again that's not on LinkedIn - job number
three that's not on LinkedIn I used to work at a warehouse actually driving the
truck as well doing deliveries again during college part time for a packing
company so this is a company that sold packing materials so you can just
imagine anything that Amazon uses to deliver their stuff boxes - those little
foam things you know those little foam jellybean things plastic bubble wrap all
that kind of stuff tape, rolls and rolls of tape that
I delivered to different warehouses again in a city called Richmond
where a lot of warehouses were here in the Vancouver area it was a really small
company and I had a really good boss who taught me a lot about discipline
structure, planning your day to be so efficient, to plan your route when you're
driving around to different deliveries all these things as a young early 20
year old kid I learned a lot from that place and that's job number three that's
not on LinkedIn all right so I'm gonna bring this home I think that was really
fun to share those three jobs with you that's not on my LinkedIn profile I
encourage you just for fun I just want to get to know you --- you know a
little bit about me now but share in the comments at least one job that you had
maybe your first job that's not on your LinkedIn profile anymore or your resume
anymore I think it's really fun to just get to know each other a little bit and
again just take a really light-hearted look at LinkedIn and the kind
of content that you share on LinkedIn or here on YouTube or wherever you're
watching this video make sure you subscribe make sure you hit that
notification button or also make sure to connect with me on Instagram and of
course LinkedIn even just with these three jobs that I had in the past they
really contributed to who I am now, who I am when I go to work, who I am when I
deal with clients, when I deal with partners, when I deal with people in the
professional world - it really taught me a lot so I am very thankful as funny as
they are and looking back they're really hard jobs they're not easy I didn't get
a free ride, being put into a position by family members or anything like that
you know so I look back and I really am thankful for these things
because I think all those positions, all those lessons that I learned in those
jobs have prepared me for what I'm dealing with and working with today so
share those jobs I think it'll be really fun and I'll see you all in the next video!
