Why your first CDL job doesn't need to be your dream job

Kat's daughter took a career quiz at school, and the top answer came back as magician. Kat's first reaction was a question: where are the trades? She's usually the first face students see when they walk into Midwest Truck Driving School, so she hears the questions people bring in with them, from DOT physicals to whether it's all going to be okay.WHAT WE GET INTOWhat Kat tells students who show up nervous and a long way from home, in a town where they don't know anybodyWho actually signs up: kids fresh out of high school, semi-retirees, moms, business owners, and people just out of prison trying to get back on their feetHow a 47-year-old and a 21-year-old end up staying late together to go over pre-tripsThe mistake Kat and Josh see new graduates make when they pick a first jobWhat an employer is thinking when they see a gap in your work history ABOUT KATKat works in the front office at Midwest Truck Driving School. Students bring her everything: physical questions, how to get endorsements added to a CDL, where their instructor went, and where to get food in a town they just moved to. When she doesn't know the answer, she knows who does. She's a mom of four, so being somebody's go-to person comes naturally.🔗 LINKSListen wherever your get your podcasts: https://built-in-the-midwest.captivate.fm/listenMidwest Truck Driving School: midwesttruckdrivingschool.com North Country Heavy Equipment & Electrical Line School: https://ncheschool.com/Submit your Questions: https://webforms.pipedrive.com/f/6WfGT9X1zlYC6WvssJqfWxOOkvVa1AjzqgnAIIHOq70WWiNo5czEWXpBMqxVTW7UST 💬 CONNECT Email: marketing@midwesttruckdrivingschool.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CDLMidwest Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midwesttruckdrivingschool/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@midwesttruckdrivingskool
