Tony Bernal's Co-op @ Shula's Club

Introduction

I have the blessing to be a very sociable person with the ability to make a lot of friends and be able to interact and make new contacts. Networking has open many doors which I never thought I would be able to enter. As everyone knows, the world economic crisis has affected a vast number of families and individuals that have lost there jobs, but i was able to obtain a full time position in one of the most reputable athletic clubs in Miami Florida. Without having as much experience as other candidates I was able to show that I was not only capable but that i could exceed their expectations as a young adult.

When i first contacted the general manager of the club i was told i needed at least 2 months of job experience in another gym so he could have a reference on how i worked in the fitness area. That was when I could get a full time job as a receptionist on a gym called body Shop Athletic Club in the Dominican Republic, although currently during those two months of April and May I was getting a low salary I got an amazing recommendation letter that helped me get into Shula's club.

The Process to apply and get accepted into Shula's Athletic Club was a very complex procedure that took some time. I first needed to show and prove I was an American citizen which I am, I had to show social security number, passport, and active Florida license. A background check was taken place to verify that I was clean, then i had to go through a drug and alcohol test because the company has a drug and alcohol free workplace policy. After a huge amount of paper work and talking I finally when on to my induction and they took me over to what my position was going to be in the club.
