Reason
The other team members were really cool and made me feel right at home.
Why did you start working for Upshift?
I found Upshift online in October, 2022. I submitted my application that day and picked up my first shift a week after that. I had a full-time job but was looking to make extra money. My full-time job was really flexible which made Upshift the perfect complement to it.
What do you do outside of Upshift?
I have a few different hobbies and things i enjoy doing in my free time. I love music but don’t have one specific genre that I listen to. I listen to everything including Hip Hop, Country, Classic Rock and Alternative Rock. Some of my favorite artists would be 50 Cent, Jason Aldean, Bon Jovi and Guns N’ Roses. I also like really like bowling, playing pool and basketball to stay active. I’ve actually been bowling a lot recently including joining some leagues and competitions to try to get better.
“Upshift is the perfect complement to my full-time job due to its flexibility.”
Do you have any advice for new Upshifters?
Having a positive attitude and putting in your best effort is the key to being successful. Although you may not work for the business directly, hard work and positive energy will really help you make an impact during your shifts and in turn result in the business wanting you to come back for future shifts. You have the ability to make a good impression during your shifts which will open future opportunities.
What have been your favorite shifts so far?
That first shift that I picked up was at Foodie Fit as a cook because I had about 13 years of kitchen experience before joining the platform. I was really lucky to have found a place that I enjoyed working right off the bat. The other team members were really cool and made me feel right at home. I’m into healthy eating and living which is the company’s focus when it comes to food so it was a great fit for me. I’ve learned a lot from them about how to make food healthier while also keeping it tasting great.
