Their website job description, to become a lumber yard personnel, is as follows, \u201cFor Driver applicants, a CDL license is desired but not absolutely necessary, and a good driving record is required.\u00a0 This position is customer-oriented, and employees must be able and willing to perform all tasks associated with lumberyard operations including repetitive lifting.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I read the about this employment opportunity the requirements did have some sway in my decision making. I had most of the requirements they asked for. I felt it would be a good fit for me. However, it was not the only factor in my considering this job. I was interested in learning more about lumber business, I needed a job, and it was close proximity to my home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon attending the job I discovered the description to be rather vague.  The employer gave additional requirements. For instance, our schedules required flexibility. It also required  lifting  50 plus  pounds on a regular basis, standing for more than 6 hours per day, and have a familiarity with their lumber products. This made the descriptors of the job fairly accurate to the physical execution of the work. I found that if I hadn\u2019t been able to do all the things listed in the description there was no way I would have been able to maintain a job at Miller Lumber.  I was not expecting the number of interactions that I had  with the customers. The description of working with clients was vague in the description. Most of my time was spent working with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/HKGNuoB7nB2Mw6y5H4D_Z2Nsk7-mHPeP5uu5BjYQy45vVp0yZQxmcIrrR0UXyxtx9BwLXL7mVhYA89lkjawBID3IW60OgbEURWonvVkcW_d4DlL-O48JwgRT0sLmwdtLySpvO21R\" width=\"240\" height=\"321\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The job I worked at last was Miller Lumber located in Bend, Oregon.
