For the past 6 years I worked at Albertsons Market. It was my first official job, I started working there as a bagger in my junior year of high school. While working there, I graduated from high school, worked in multiple departments, I graduated from college, and gained a lot of friends. For the past 11 months I tried to get a new job because I have a bachelor’s degree and wanted to at least get my foot in the door to gain experience in my field of study. Unfortunately, having a bachelor’s degree in Psychology doesn’t get you much. Therefore, I am in the same boat as many college graduates, I have a degree in a field with no jobs. I applied everywhere, got a few interviews, but nobody wanted to hire me. I was constantly doubting myself and began to get more depressed than I already was. Luckily, for me, I didn’t let my depression get the best of me, and I continued applying for jobs. I would try to put in one application a day. After some time, I really began to lose hope. Until one day I got a call from a place called Life Roots. I got called in for an interview and by the next day they called me back and asked if I wanted the job. Words can’t explain how happy I was when I got that call. But in the back of mind I couldn’t help but feel strange knowing I would be leaving Albertsons. I was so used to working at Albertsons, no matter how much I hated it, it felt weird leaving. It wasn’t leaving the job that made me feel weird, it was weird leaving all the amazing people I worked with. I consider most of my former co-workers family. They are some of my favorite people in the world. While working at Albertsons, I met my best friend Estevan. My life wouldn’t be the same without him. I may have hated working at Albertsons, but if it weren’t for my experiences at Albertsons I wouldn’t be the person I am today. So, I would like to thank Albertsons for employing me the past 6 years. That job had its ups and downs but I’m grateful for working there.
