Earlier work was mainly labour/factory jobs in my rural location.
- Often I was given higher responsibility roles such as team leader and more complex work that required more dedicated focus.
- And while labour work is usually simple, it definitely taught me a solid work ethic & no quit attitude, team or solo work unsupervised for long periods, interpersonal skills, to have a respectful attitude to all, and how to compromise & get along with almost anyone. ✌ I doubt I'll ever miss fruit picking jobs though!
