Colonel Harland Sanders Career
Colonel Harland Sanders was fired from a variety of jobs throughout his career ,but then he got job in a roadside Shell Service Station there is when Colonel Harland Sanders started his career where he cooked chicken in 1930. Even though his gas station didn’t have a restaurant Colonel served diners in his attached living quarters ,but did you know that was all when Colonel Harland Sanders was 40years old during the Great Depression.

Then after all that over the next 10 years, he perfected his “Secret Recipe” and pressure fryer cooking method for his famous fried chicken and moved onto bigger locations,and Colonel Sanders chicken was even praised in the media by food critic Duncan Hines (yes, that Duncan Hines). However, as the interstate came through the Kentucky town where the Colonel’s restaurant was located in the 1950s,

He drove around, sleeping in his car, and was rejected more than 1,000 times before finally finding his first partner.

So that was a report about Colonel Harland Sanders of how he didn’t give up to accomplish his dream even though 1,000 of people denied him to a job ,but even though that happened he got a job at a gas station where he cooked chicken. That was where it all started ,and he moved his way up to the top he moved so far up that Colonel had his Kentucky Fried Chicken known everywhere.

Finally the things I learned from reading about Colonel Harland Sanders experience is that you first might start off with people denying you , but that didn’t stop Colonel Sanders so don’t let it stop you ,like him I’m never giving up on my dream I will start small with the simplest things in the dream that I want to reach. When things get bad than you become back to where you started at the bottom just work your way back

They were all started by people of very modest means. Harland Sanders is a good example. He ³left school at the age of twelve, worked as a farm hand, a mule tender, and a railway fireman. At various times he worked as a lawyer without having a law degree, delivered babies as a part-time obstetrician without having a medical degree, sold insurance door to door, sold Michelin tires, and operated a gas station . . . . and at the age of sixty-five became a traveling salesman once again, offering restaurant owners the secret recipe¹ for his fried chicken.
