MY YEAR OF DOING SOMETHING ELSE San Francisco, CA

Customer Explorer at Multiple Small Businesses March 2018 – Present At the beginning of last year, and right around when my startup failed, I focus on what was an increasingly complicated immigration issue. I have successfully resolved it, and I do not require any sponsorship to work in the US neither now nor in the future. While working on my immigration papers, I spent the rest of my time volunteering and working with different types of customers out there doing more straightforward jobs. I worked as a bartender, a Lyft driver, and a barista, and I volunteered as a programming teacher for 2nd graders. I gained invaluable insight into the toughest of customers (second graders being the toughest of all, seriously) and developed my customer's empathy and communication skills. Nevertheless, daily cleaning duties, working on my feet for 10+ hours/day, and labor-intensive inventory tasks have left me very humbled and gave me a new set of skills that I can't wait to use to problem-solve in an office environment.
