Target


      The best job I’ve ever had would have to be Target; I worked at Target in Walnut Creek CA for a year in haft.
  • I worked on the Sales Floor in market as a PFresh employee. I stocked groceries whatever was low on the sales floor it was my duty to fill the shelf. Whether it strawberries or frozen TV dinners. A rack of food would drop ever hour on the hour in each cooler; there were four coolers (produce, meat, dairy and frozen). It was my job and my team mate’s job to make sure the food got pushed on the sales floor. I also had to weigh and ticket meats that were sold by pound, and push milk to the coolers on the floor. And I also was a backup cashier so every time check lanes got backed up witch was quite often, it behooved me to help.
  •   I enjoyed my regular customers some people would come in Target three times a week, this one man particular would come in every night his name was Larry, very nice gentlemen. I enjoyed the different challenges with helping the company meet sales every night had to offer. Helping guest find things in the store was extremely engaging and fun.
  • Because Target I’m very humble, I work well with others, I’m extremely positive. And I understand how to handle people with frustrations. I have a great outlook on life and I know how to use my resources before going to the boss. I have great work ethic.


  • I learned that were all just ordinary people, and sometimes everyone needs a little help.

The Book

The Book "freakonomics" was a great book, although certain times in the book I felt like the author was being bios. The book overall is a good read, I was happy to get in the mind of other people, the author really did a fine job of getting different statistics together to prover his logic. If someone is interested in the way economics think I think they should read freakonomics. The chapters in the book sometimes ramble on on, the author went on a few rants. The chapter that was most interesting to me in freakonomics is most likely the last chapter, when Levitt discussed the history of baby name. He compared low income, middle class, white & black baby names. It was quite funny to me because I knew many people with a lot of the names that were in each category. I was amazed bow someone actually set down & analyzed baby names. Overall the book was a semi good read. I would suggest people to read it only if they don't mind book with a lot of different topics and the worlds look at the world.
