Upshifter of the Week: Julie T.
I joined Upshift in October of 2019 after hearing a commercial on the radio. At the time, I was looking for positions that would fit with my kids’ schedule. Upshift seemed flexible which is good because flexibility is really important when it comes to my kids.
When I’m not working on Upshift, I spend my time doing photography and sewing. This year I’ve been sewing a lot of masks as you can imagine. I’ve been sewing them for family and friends but I’m hoping this year I can sew some other things. In terms of photography, I’ve focused on nature, portraits and events. I really enjoy doing photography and hope to be able to do more of it this year.
I’ve really loved working for Takeya obviously. I actually started working at Takeya through Upshift and was hired full-time there. I started working on Upshift for the flexible shifts but ended up finding a permanent position which was something I didn’t expect. I can’t say enough about how great Takeya is.
Columbus Zoo, Jorgensen Farms, OSU and the Franklin Park Conservatory are some of my other favorite places to work. I really enjoy banquet serving because it’s like you’re being paid to go to a party!
I’ve met a lot of great people through Upshift and we work shifts together now. It’s great because we all help each other before and during shifts. For example, recently someone I know was working at the Columbus Zoo for the first time and I was able to help them find the right place to park. Being able to meet new people and make lasting connections is just another added bonus of working for Upshift!
