The last job I worked before going to school full time was Warehouse manager at a large and very busy construction warehouse. It really tested my ability to do A LOT of things. Things like inventory management, receiving, sending material to jobs, making sure large tools and machines used for work are in working condition, and I would setup large flatbeds with these materials for my warehouse crew to ship out. I also was responsible for a fleet of at least 13 vehicles which most of them was in garbage condition so work constantly needed to be done on them; If a vehicle broke down, I would have to go pick it up get it towed, and it could be on my days off where I am needed in an emergency like that.

I thought I did extremely well, and the boss wanted to raise my salary 4$ already and said he wanted to do a 3 month review instead of 6.

The reason why I left without notice is because my boss would consistently micromanage me, breath down my neck, and would honestly start getting so disrespectful with me, then he would realize what he said an hour later and apologize for it over an espresso. His bipolar activities with me were making me hate the job. I loved everything I was doing, I was having so much fun doing it and I was killing it, but he continued to become a weight on my shoulders. His micromanagement was completely unnecessary, and his disrespect followed by his bipolar attitude made me question the future of the job, and finally I just told him I quit. This last job was also my most recent job, I haven't been to work since last summer, because I want to finish school faster. I am soon graduating and want to find a job now while I do my last 2 semesters next year. This is my best experience I've ever had and I'm not sure if I should reference it on my resume..
