 What's everyone takedown here welcome back to another video today marks one year since I quit my retail job and Honestly, I couldn't be happier this year has been one hell of a learning experience And I'm happy to say I am back to work and I'll be explaining that's near the end of the video of what I am doing now And in the future, I'll be giving you guys updates on what I'm doing currently So I'm just gonna recap of what happened prior to me quitting my retail job Then what I decided I wanted to do after I quit leading up to what I am doing currently right now So you guys might remember back whenever I quit my job. I was explaining in previous videos at that time that What was happening at work what my situation was I made videos on why I quit my job What I was doing afterwards and long story short. I was full-time working at Canadian Tire parts and service I honestly loved what I did. I learned a lot the five years that I was there I basically helped customers get the right parts for them and Help mechanics in the shop get them what they need and I honestly loved doing that but the owners Didn't appreciate me enough. I always felt I was full-time about 44 hours a week and Out of nowhere. We had new owners come in about six to eight months after they took over My hours went from 44 hours week down to 20 and sometimes even 15 so my hours got cut in half and I Don't know why they didn't tell me why I asked the multiple times No answers and they never told me that my hours are guaranteed to go up anytime soon My hours were like that for six months and over that six months I just started to more and more hate my job hate my life hated the fact that I'm there And I don't know what I want to do with my life. I was 21 at the time. So Honestly didn't know What I wanted to do didn't know what direction I wanted to go So I just put up with it for the six months and I absolutely hated it and I knew I needed to get out so Then my 22nd birthday happened which is in May and From that point on just two days after my birthday. I became physically sick to the point that I couldn't go to work I was sick for two weeks So that sucked from number one having low hours for the six months and Then becoming sick and two weeks without pay Sucked it was terrible and I wanted to just get back to work even though it was crappy hours I just wanted some income coming in I wanted some money coming in even though it was only 15 20 hours a week I needed a little bit of money. That's that's my main goal was just earn a little bit of money Upon feeling better could be coming a hundred percent. I went back to work in the first week I was supposed to return went back to work and they cut my hours for the entire week and told me don't bother showing up Until the end of the week. So not only was I sick for two weeks with no pay They cut my hours. They cut my third week when I was supposed to return they cut that whole week So at that point I was just tired of it tired of being mistreated tired of Working there. I liked what I did. I liked the few people that I worked with a handful of them I liked and enjoyed going to work and seeing and talking to and I still communicate with a lot of them to this day maybe two three of them at least but Being sick for that two weeks and coming back and getting treated like that whenever I was sick It to me is uncalled for and that's made me realize that there's no purpose of me being there anymore And it was time to quit so I remember walking in quitting. They were upset They're pretty pissed, but I was happy because it was a weight lifted off my shoulders. So I was happy that I finally Did what I had to do and I should have done it sooner and that was to quit my retail job After quitting my retail job I made videos on this as well through my journey of doing it and that is my security guard course which as soon as I quit That's when I started it So it kind of worked out for the best that when I became sick and ended up having to well in my words Having to quit because I just couldn't take it anymore. I immediately started my security guard course and From that I did my first aid did my exams and it took about two Maybe two and a half months to get everything situated from start to finish Then I had to wait for my license to come in But at the end of my security guard course is when I learned about the CBS a and I realized the security the security guard Position is something that I'm interested in But CBS a for me is a goal of a career that I want to get in so I really set my focus on CBS a I started finishing everything I needed to do for security guard and then started for CBS a so I started applying And getting ready for that took a couple months for me to get my security guard license And then that leads us up to December At that point I was looking for a vehicle Started making calls going to dealerships trying to find something because if I'm gonna get a job as a security guard for now Before I start a CBS a I need a way to get to work that to me made sense It took two months for me to get a vehicle That was this past February whenever I got my truck and I loved it I started applying for security guard right away And at the point of me getting my truck I actually applied for CBS a within two weeks of me applying for CBS a I got selected to take their exam their entrance exam And I was extremely happy because I thought CBS a is starting and it's creeping up on me really quick But faster than I expected whenever I took my CBS a entrance exam, which is a month after I applied I Ended up failing and I did mention that in videos as well this whole journey this past year I've been sharing with you guys in videos and explaining the whole process of everything I did from the time I quit up until Currently and So yeah, I filled my entrance exam for CBS a but that's not the end of the world I'll be able to take it again February 2020 so I decided to focus on getting a security guard job for now to tide me over until I get back into the CBS a mind so I Started applying for security guard and I did share this in videos as well that I had a couple interviews set up and I actually got hired recently Not too long ago actually and it was for security guard at a casino Which is about an hour away from me, which a lot of people said no no point of going there But where I live there's no security around me. No security jobs available and the drive there honestly is great They have no problem driving there. I love it. It's an easy drive in so why not? That leads me up to where I am right now. I'm still in training I've been here about well, I'm not sure when I'm gonna upload this So as the time I'm recording it I've been here training for two weeks But by the time I upload this video, it may be a month and I might be finished my training and I might just be working there So it depends on what I actually decide to upload this video, but as of right now Working back there at least the training part of it. I honestly love my job love my life right now and it made me really open my eyes and realize that quitting my retail job one year ago was well worth it if I hadn't of Quit my job if they haven't if they weren't cutting my hours like they were and I didn't decide to quit my job I wouldn't be where I am today and that is extremely happy. I'm loving life. Love my job. I love my co-workers I love my family. I love everything right now I'm happier than I've ever been in my life and that is where I feel I needed to be because back then I'll be honest. I was depressed stressed out financially Not knowing what to do not knowing a direction of wire I wanted to go and take my life and take a Career and I thought I was gonna stay a Canadian tariff for a long time because I was full-time and to be honest with you If I was still full-time there would have stayed because I kind of liked my co-workers. I liked what I did I loved the community and helping out the community whenever they came in for parts of their vehicles and such so I loved that aspect of it but Being treated the way I was it to me was apparent that it was time to go and move on to bigger and better things And that's what I did instead of me having a minimum wage job right now I am making just under 17 an hour, which is incredible being 23 and making that kind of money Didn't think it was gonna be possible for me, but I love what I do a couple months from now It will be going up to 18 something an hour in a year after me being there. It's gonna be 20 something an hour So I'm not saying this to brag saying I'm making more than a minimum wage I'm just saying it because to me It means and it proves that I'm going in the right direction with life I'm not still at my dead-end job Making minimum wage, which to me there's nothing wrong with that if you are in that position right now But for me I had to get out because I knew that I could be doing bigger and better things and I'm glad everything that happened back a year ago or even before that and Even though I was depressed back then and hated my life I'm glad everything back then happened because if it didn't I wouldn't be where I am today I wouldn't have the mindset of in the future. I'm gonna be doing a CBS a which I'm extremely happy and proud of My family is even freakin proud of me with my whole progress over this past year of do my security guard course and everything and prepare myself for CBS a and landing this job this incredible job right now and knowing that even though I have this great job right now and I'm excited and I love doing it that I still have goals for CBS a in the future even though I failed my exam in February. I'll be able to take it again in February 2020 and Even if I were to fail that exam the second time I'll still be able to take it again in 2021 and wait another year take it again and just try and for me I'm still young so even though I if I do fail next year if I fail the one after that I'm okay with that because I'm still young whenever I get in it'll be worth the wait and I'm just happy right now. That's Everything in my life is going in the right direction. I have a career. I love my family I have a great job right now, which I still I'm gonna be going for CBS a and that's that's the main thing Whenever I got this job as people were saying are you gonna give up on CBS a and the answer to that is no I have no intention on giving up. I do have a great job right now But I'm still Feel like I could further it even more and go into CBS a which is a dream of mine And I want to make that dream a reality, but until then I'm still gonna be working at this security guard job I love doing it. I'm still in training as of right now, but depending on when I upload this video I might be finished my training and just working there So I'm extremely excited to see where this takes me now But I wanted to share how this last year has been even though I've shared it in previous videos and kind of broke up and in more depth more in-depth I want to share the whole year in one video and sum it up for you guys so Now that I'm working security, I am gonna be giving you guys updates on that I can't give you guys specifics on the jobs or what happens through the day But if you guys are interested in knowing a little bit more what I do for security at the casino and how the tasks are how It's been going for me comment down below and in the future. I might make a video Talking about it, but I just wanted to share how this last year has been So I'm going from a year ago when I was in a terrible mindset and hated my life and hated my job and hated everything To now being extremely happy and I just love my life. I love my job. I love my co-workers. I love my family. I love everything so Just one year can make a difference Can change your life drastically and I'm happy it happened and everything happens for a reason and I Hope you guys did enjoy if you stayed through this video.
