From my time working as a parking attendant, I have worked from the early morning hours to the late nights for the fair and its many events where I have to make on the spot decision for where fair and event attendees are suppose to go for their parking and the entrance gate. Then me and one or two co-workers would have to manage the employee-only parking lot by ourselves where we would have to check anyone who comes if they have the correct permit to park. I would have to count how many parking space is available, managing the flow of traffic, report any problems and incidents to superiors, and making the attendees happy with my customer service.

• Maintaining a good flow of traffic for dozens of tour buses during the early hours before the start of a marathon, the peak of incoming attendees for parking, and the closing hours.
