Let’s get one thing out of the way right off the bat: lifting heavy, inanimate objects is not my strong suit.
This is probably the most important lesson I learned while auditioning for the job of carry out and cashier at Holy Cow Tack, Feed & Pet , 7878 E. Tanque Verde Road.
The family owned, east-side business offers a range of goods and services for your dogs, horses and other pets, including grooming appointments, giant bags of food, and massive bales of hay.
KGUN 9 We started with the hay, lifting 100-pound bales, which may not have been the best way for me to kick off my job interview.
“I can’t,” I told my potential future bosses. “They are so heavy.”
We quickly realized I couldn’t carry the hay on my own, so we moved on to the forklift.
Pulling levers was more my speed. I was a bit nervous at first, but I soon got the hang of it.
KGUN 9 It was kind of like driving a car. Entire stacks on pallets were lifted with ease.
I managed to successfully get the order on the truck.
