Hello world!
The last job I had was a fitness consultant at a gym in my hometown. The job description had a solid influence on my decision to apply for the position but wasn’t the ultimate factor within the job. Everything that the job description had entailed was incorporated into the job itself. These things as a fitness consultant included selling gym memberships, personal strength training, conditioning training, meal planning, weight loss/gain tracking and other personal training options. All of these things that were on the job description I had no problem with and was actually excited to do on a daily basis. I have been in sports my entire life and I figured why not get paid to help others achieve their fitness goals all while still staying in shape and working out to achieve my personal goals for sports. I became upset within the job when other tasks started to pile onto my plate that were not mentioned in the job description. This included miscellaneous things such as cleaning up the bathrooms, giving up personal training sessions just to go door to door informing people about our gym and more. The more I reflect on this job the more I realize how smooth everything was when I had first started the more I realize more was piled on week after week. However, to this day I am still unsure if more was added on my plate because they felt as if I had earned more responsibility or if it was the other co-workers simply trying to lighten their own personal workload. Nonetheless, I had a great experience regardless of what else they had added to my position even if it wasn’t on the original job description.
