Canine Coach

April - September 2019 • Grand Rapids, MI

What I liked

I have always adored dogs, so getting the opportunity to interact with them each and every day was incredibly fulfilling.

What I wish was different

Despite getting to work with dogs, the management of my company left much to be desired. In addition to rude coworkers and being treated like a glorified janitor (I got to be with dogs, but I was cleaning 99% of the time) it eventually led me to leave the position to pursue a job where my work was more appreciated and where I was valued.

Advice

Even if the job entails something you like (eg. dogs) be sure to look at the bigger picture and make sure that you are content with the other aspects of the job (management, coworkers, etc.).
