My mom got me a job at a marijuana dispensary.
She was friends with the manager. When she mentioned that I was looking for a part-time job, the manager told my mom to have me come to the store. I also filled out an online application. When I went to the marijuana dispensary, I met with my mom’s friend whose name is Jackie. Jackie was very nice. She asked me a couple of basic questions that any good interviewer would ask. When the interview was over, she asked when I could start. I was ready to start working at the marijuana dispensary just as quickly as she needed me. I started a few days later and I had a day of orientation first. I spent 4 hours learning all about the different types of marijuana strains and how marijuana is harvested and refined. Some of the information about marijuana was new to me, but most of the information I already knew. I got paid to sit in the orientation, so I didn’t complain about watching videos and listening to people talk. The next time I had a shift at the dispensary, I started behind the counter. I had to work alongside a crew member that has been employed by the dispensary for a while. She turned out to be very kind and helpful. She took her time to explain everything instead of rushing through the process. I had to spend three days with the two year staff member. By the end of my training process, I felt like I could absolutely handle myself with a customer’s order.
