Jack: United Artist Theatres

After an automobile accident several years ago, Jack wondered if he would ever work again. He was trained as a licensed electrician and worked in the field for five years. Since his accident, Jack's hands shake which make fine motor skills difficult. Over the past five years, Jack has worked in the restaurant and retail industries. While these jobs were okay with Jack, he truly enjoys working with people. He did not want to work behind the scenes in a restaurant or retail store.

Today, Jack is working at the United Artist Theatres in Chesterfield, Virginia. He has worked for just over a month and is thoroughly enjoying the experience. Jack is responsible for taking tickets, giving directions to each theater as well as greeting each customer, which matches his personality perfectly.

"Since I began working, my days feel like they are rewarding. I don't sit at home all day watching television and becoming depressed. Work has filled a huge void in my life."
