Andrew started his part-time position as a Bakery Clerk at Canadian Superstore back in October 2023. He begin with only 9 hours a week with opportunities for increased hours during peak seasons. Despite the challenges of day to day life such as rent and groceries, he kept a positive attitude during work at all times.

Andrew moved into an Overnight Stock Associate position from June 9 to July 5 working from 10:00 pm to 6:30 am. It was a temporary role meant to cover summer renovations running simultaneously in the store. He was not thrilled with the hours, but saw it as an opportunity for learning and growth within the company.
