Brigham Young University - Idaho

Evening Custodian

August - October 2019 • Rexburg, ID

What I liked

Varied, yet consistent, work. I enjoyed cleaning carpet, and I liked that I was able to innovate some practices to make the work easier. I liked how work started with prayer. I most appreciated that we were primarily expected to do as good of a job as we could, even if it would take extra time, so that we could keep the focus of giving our best working for the Lord.

What I wish was different

I wished that I the policy would allow to work with headphones instead of an out-loud speaker so that I would not have had to worry about bothering other people with whatever I preferred to listen to.

Advice

Focus on doing the job right the first time, each time. Half jobs require more work and wasted time to correct.
