To show evidence of my initiative and flexibility I have provided an essay describing my first two jobs, how I got them, and how I was flexible enough to keep them.
This past summer my parents told me that I had to get a job in order to pay for my own gas because I was driving now. Instead of waiting, I instantly started applying to every place that I thought would hire me. Within the first week I heard back from Subway Restaurants in Eaton Rapids, they were looking for someone to hire and they wanted me to come interview with them.
Quite to my surprise and delight when I arrived at the interview I was hired right then and there. There was only one catch, however. I had to do three days of job training in the Eaton Rapids restaurant, but then I would be officially hired and transferred to the Subway in Charlotte. I believe that I showed a great deal of initiative by going out and applying to jobs as fast as I could, and then showed even greater flexibility by moving location from where I applied to.
The same Summer I was hired by a neighbor to take care of his lawn once a week whenever he called me down. I believe that I showed flexibility here as well, because it was always a random time when he would call me down. I only ever told him that I couldn’t make it once the entire summer.
