I later worked in a similar role for City Ace Hardware in the same town from April through December 2014. The most substantial amount of my pre-HR professional experience was from February 1994 through October 1998 with the Grounds and Maintenance Department at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi.

This job experience was instrumental in developing my administrative acumen and communicative abilities.
