First Job Overnight Stock Associate at ShopRite Supermarkets What it taught me Accountability. Our work overnight affects the performance of the day time staff and vice versa. Also, I'm much more productive stocking shelves when listening to Christmas music. Status Married Family Martina Casey (formerly Simunovic) Three things people would be surprised to know about me: 1. I enjoy watching the Biggest Loser with my wife. 2. I dropped out of graduate school in 2004 before dropping back in during the spring 2006 semester. 3. I get nervous before public speaking, too. Best advice you could give someone starting out There's no substitute for sweat and passion. If you pursue work that you love and work your face off, you will be successful. But, family always comes first.
