According to the young lady, she cried when she got the cashier job because she felt it was unfair for a talented lady to be doing such work.
In her words:
"But eventually, I started being grateful just to have A JOB and make ends meet during a global pandemic. I fell in love with the staff and the simplicity of my cashier job. I considered it a “vacation” from marketing and focused on what I could gain from the experience."
She said a few weeks after she got the cashier job, Grand Hustle called her back and gave her a contract to be the marketing director of T.I.’s podcast.
Benedith said:
"I took the job but actually KEPT my job at Kroger 3 months longer because I fell in love with the people so much. In fact, I only left Kroger cause I couldn't manage both."
She advised people to always have faith and be patient because an opportunity is coming their way soon, adding that success isn't a straight line.
LinkedIn users were inspired and they soon flooded the comment section of her post with their thoughts.
