Guest Speaker

Today we were visited by Gary Miltner of Robison & Smith Textile services. Gary spoke with us about his Sales job with his company and the different types of services they offer. Not only do they rent out sheets, towels, napkins, and other linens but they offer a wide variety of Chef's coats, pants, and other uniforms. They also offer insurance on the uniforms being rented out. Gary explained that in most businesses one must start from the bottom and work his way up. In his line of work, one starts in the plant where the products are washed, ironed, and pressed. After doing this job for atleast a couple years, you would move on to a Route Driver, and then in to the customer service, where he is. He repeatly told us to stay focused and to find a job that you can be excited to go to. Though his presentation was a little on the lecture side, I feel I learned alot.
