Route manager
April - August 2019 • Rancho Cucamonga, CA
What I liked
Something that I loved about this commission job was that it was up to me to determine what I wanted to be paid over the summer. Along with this, it was great learning verbal and non-verbal skills that aided the sales process.
What I wish was different
Something that I wish I had done differently would be to have practiced my pitch more ahead of time. Another thing that would have helped a lot would have been to put myself on a schedule to keep focused and motivated.
Advice
Although door-to-door usually has a bad name to it, what you make through the summer is a reflection of the work ethic that you have. I think that many people begin with the mindset that it will be a ‘mindless’ job like many other minimum waged jobs but it can be possibly one of the toughest jobs they can hold. The amount of difficulty in these jobs are usually reflects through the paychecks.

I liked the hours they gave me and I liked that they rewarded me with a raise each time I came back to work for them.
