Kroger gave a job to the homeless woman who slept in their parking lot
LaShenda Williams was living out of her car, bouncing from parking lot to parking lot... but slowly, she became a regular at her local Kroger store by "striking up conversations and making friends, even when she couldn’t afford to buy food."
One day the store manager, Jackie Vandal, heard LaShenda mention that her goal was to get a job at Kroger. So, she told her about an upcoming job fair.
Jackie made sure LaShenda made the cut from candidate to new hire, helping with her application and even tweaking her #resume!
In just one short month, Williams earned her first promotion, from part-time cashier to full-time checkout associate. Soon after, she was able to afford a new place to live!
Don't you love an inspiring story??
They need more people, like the manager who had enough compassion to give her a chance. Glad for her story!
This is amazing!
I would not be surprised if LaShenda becomes one of the best employees Kroger ever hired. Pray that others in her predicament get a chance like her. Congratulations to Jackie,she is the kind of boss that makes my heart happy!,Ford
