In my most recent job experience, there was no formal job posting that drew me to the position. Instead, I solicited whether the business was hiring and dropped off a resume at the location of the coffee shop. So, I’ll instead talk about a previous position I’ve held at a grocery store. I applied to Market of Choice as a “Courtesy Clerk” and held the position for a few weeks. The job description was fairly vague as it’s a job with a very low level of responsibility and a very minimal amount of tasks. It described the position as a role that would include bagging groceries, assisting customers to their car if needed, facing products, grounds keeping, and helping to maintain the cleanliness of the front end of the store. I feel that because of these listed duties, the job fits the job description well as the tasks mentioned are the majority of what my work there involves. These can be seen in the attached screenshot. However, I had assumed that there was a lack of detail within the description, rather than having those listed responsibilities as the only things I would be doing. I feel that the job description differed from the job itself in the importance or emphasis it had placed on being an enthusiastic and cheerful employee. This is part of what drew me to the role as I was looking for a fast-paced environment, but don’t think it’s accurate, as it was not correct to the actual environment I experienced.
