The Right Man for the Job
Story by
Supported Living Professional, Dale
Carothers
Chris is a new, but integral, part
of the custodial staff down at City
Hall of Sioux Falls. He started his
job on June 8th, 2009, and since
that day he’s shown that he is the
right man for the job. Right
now, he’s
cleaning the bathrooms on every
floor, but once he proves himself,
he’ll be responsible for an entire
floor of his own.
With the training, he
received in Achieve’s own custodial
department, Chris was able to
demonstrate independence and a familiarity with the
equipment, chemicals and methods
required to keep the art deco
interiors of City Hall clean. As his
job coach, all I have had to do is
stand back and watch Chris succeed!
Chris’s easygoing manner and sense
of humor helped him to make friends
with his new coworkers.
He arrives at work with a good
attitude and pushes himself to meet
all of the goals set for him by his
employer - making him a valuable
employee.
When asked about
his job he says, “I
really like working there and I’m
glad that they chose me to do this
project for Achieve.”
Chris is proud of his success and
ability to prove that hard work,
good training, and a positive
attitude really pay off!
