My Experience as a Clerical Aide

My first job was a clerical aide at the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation services located in Montgomery, Alabama. My first day of work began on June 16, 2008 and it ended August 8, 2008. If you are thinking that I was fired the answer is No. The job was temporary and only for the summer until school started back. I loved my job as a clerical aide because I worked with some really nice people. My mom and Aunt had been an employee there for 20+ years so everyone there knew me and that made the job a lot of fun. In my position I had to type case notes, which I really loved to do because I love to type, file important papers, answer the telephone in a professional way, and assist others if they needed me. This experience not only allowed me to see that I am a "people" person, but it brought great benefits. Being that I was a temporary state employee the pay was great. Mininum wage was $6.55-$7.55 and you work up to 8 hrs a day or 40 hrs a week. Once i received my check I felt as if I was rich because that was my first paycheck and the amount put a huge smile on my face.
