What was your position at Goodwill?
What did a typical day look like?
What job expectations did Goodwill have in your role?
What were the repercussions if you did not perform?
How were you valued when you exceeded those expectations?
If you did something beyond your duties and a manager saw it, they would give you a card that says what you did and what Good Will value you demonstrated. You get to hang that up in the break room and you also get a little candy. I think they probably gave out anywhere from 3-10 of those a day to people. If I stayed and helped take donations and I would receive a card for helping out.
How were you valued when you exceeded those expectations?
What was your favorite thing about the job?
When was the busiest time for drop-offs/donations?
Any other Goodwill tidbits?

Oh my goodness, this post is so insightful. I love thrifting at goodwill and finding steals. If you haven’t already, you should watch The True Cost. It’s an eye opener to what happens with unwanted donations!

So many of the unsold items at Goodwills across Minnesota end up at the big Goodwill outlet in St Paul – there you can rifle through hundreds of bins of stuff and I've gotten some amazing steals there.
I assume what doesn't sell there gets shipped out of the country.
