A typical day of work consists of tasking workers with jobs that need to be completed first thing in the morning. Organizing all work for the week to complete in a timely manner. I have learned how to become a effective leader for working with others in order to complete any task. The hardest part of the job was finding enough work to challenge myself and the most enjoyable part of the job was completing the job and seeing the outcome of a hard days work.
