1. I have had 3 jobs in my 15 years of being in the workforce. My first job was as an auto detailer for minimum wage. I worked my way up to Area Manager and stayed for 6 years. My next position I was District Manager and HR Manager for 3 years. My current position is as an HR Manager and General Manager, and I have been there for over 6 years now. In my experience with these positions, I have not had any issues with role ambiguity or an uncertainty over job definitions and not knowing expectations for performance. Those were always explained and clarified, and I was able to meet and exceed expectations. However, as you can see from my job titles that I had many different roles and responsibilities.
