Building and maintaining friendships is a universal trait we are all taught as children. As students we develop free and easy friendships with our fellow classmates. We share secrets, spend time together on the weekends and make memories. A benefit to student employment is identifying the difference between a close friend and a colleague. Throughout life we will all build different relationships with a variety of people, learning proper edict in certain environments at a young age is crucial to success.
Restaurant Management student, Emily Hawkins, explains, “The best part about my job as a server is the people I work with. We all get along so well and they make it fun to show up every day.” Strong colleagues that should be valued are those that push you and motivate you to succeed every day. Toxic work environments filled with gossip, rumors, negativity and poor attitudes can affect you as a person. By building healthy relationships with co-workers we can expect success not only individually, but for the company as a whole.
Emily believes it is important to have a job as a student because we are always learning. Schooling teaches us book smarts, while work can teach us common sense we can apply to our everyday life. By staying motivated not only in school, but also in the work place a student will develop strong work ethic and become more of an encouraging person to be around.
