Every line of work has different challenges that you have to deal with. If you're working in retail or customer service, then you have to deal with all sorts of clients.

If you're working in media or content creation, then the biggest challenge for you is a creative block. If you work in the delivery industry, one of your biggest challenges is usually going to be speed.

The people ordering at home want their products delivered as fast as possible and companies promise that to their customers. And, of course, these companies will do whatever it takes to deliver on this promise, which is completely understandable.

However, most people don't know what's happening behind the scenes when it comes to packaging and delivering their packages to their homes. I think just about everyone would love to know a lot more about this industry and what goes on with their packages.

He made a series on TikTok with multiple parts where he explains the things he wishes he knew before he started working at Amazon, and we're going to share these things with you below.
