La La Lisa.

Well, first of all, every job I’ve had has taught me something. I think that’s the most important part of experiencing different jobs. Each one is experience, good or bad, and chances are you’ll learn something from it. For one of my college internships, I worked at a cupcake shop, helping the owner with day-to-day entrepreneurial tasks as well as marketing and social media. The woman who owned the shop was an absolutely brilliant baker and simultaneously (in my opinion) the worst business owner I have ever met. She was horribly moody, treated her employees like crap, constantly contradicted herself and was generally unreliable. Regardless, I worked my ass off the entire semester for her and in the end it payed off. I heard from a client of hers (who happened to be my friend’s mother) that she was very grateful for my time with her and that she was still using documents and processes that I implemented during my internship. I felt proud of my work, but during the course of that internship, I generally learned more “what NOT to do’s” than “to do’s”… it was educational, to say the least. I had a class once per week that went along with the internship and I remember each week my classmates would share their great stories of positive lessons they’d learned, and they would all look forward to hearing my ridiculous stories of the witch behind the cupcake counter. Hahaha.
