Steph interviewed for the job of Office Manager, at Tolbert’s Hardwood Flooring, almost 3 years ago. The first question Kelly Tolbert asked was Do you know QuickBooks? Steph told him she has an accounting degree, and yes, she knows QuickBooks very well.
Then he said, We often need to have documents notarized… Steph said she became a Notary Public while working at the Teton Valley News.
Kelly then laughed and said What if a truck load of wood arrived, could you operate the forklift? Steph replied that she was a certified operator and drove a forklift for five years at the Johnson Controls warehouse in Lakewood, WA.
Steph’s convinced that she got that job because of her skills, but I think it’s because she drove my cool old truck Jack, to the interview.
Sadly, Tolberts is having their “Going Out Of Business Sale” tomorrow. It’s been a good ride for Kelly and Rhonda. Laid a lot of wood and employed a bunch of people. If you’re in the neighborhood, drop by. It’s right across the street from MD Nursery.
I am so sorry to hear that.
Steph will bounce back. Today she’s running the whole sale herself, because the Tolberts are gone.
Heck Step. has to sell their stuff take it home and use it for herself. Remember me!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your old Jake??????
Carol, take a breath. You’re rambling :-) No taking stuff home. I think that between Steph and I, we have more integrity then 99% of the people in the world.
Steph has managed the transition of a viable company, to non-existent, with great integrity and an awareness of the power of Karma.
I’m not rambling, I’m laughing my head off.
