Was tasked with picking up paint in the morning, going to the jobsite with my painting gear and supplies and id converse with the customer about the specifics of the job and their preferences for their house. I would have the responsibility of staying on tasks and finishing the house with a partner as fast and as good as possible. There was select times where id take payments from the customer when the job was done and hold onto that until i saw my boss. I wasn't able to get these payments without doing a walk-around and getting complete satisfaction from the customer.

I worked in a smaller Canadian Tire location where my jobs as a seasonal sales associate might've been different from that of a different Canadian Tire location. Each day i was tasked with unloading stock carts that came off recent trucks and put them all correctly into their places on the shelves or in overflow storage areas when needed. While i was doing this I would also be helping any customer that came up and asked for my assistance. I would make trips to the warehouse to find products that are empty on the shelf but a customer is asking for and i was also a very versatile employee here i was slotted into shifts in the sports and hardware departments when then needed extra bodies on those days.
