LOCAL TEEN LANDS JOB WITH
FORTUNE 500 COMPANY

Bert Jersey, a recent graduate of Dickinson high school, has secured a position with the McDonald's Corporation, a high-ranking Fortune 500 company. "I'm tremendously excited to have this opportunity to work with the world's number-one restaurant chain," said Jersey, 18, pouring ketchup into a large metallic pump dispenser at the $41 billion company's new Bacliff location. "I am determined to prove that their difficult decision to go with me over Manuel LeBoar was not a mistake. I had competing offers from both Jack In The Box and Dollar General, but neither of those companies makes the Fortune 500," Despite Jersey's tender age, McDonald's executives are confident that he can bring a new dimension to the company. Jersey's plans include a full-scale restructuring of the walk-in freezer to get the chicken-patty bags off the floor and the installation of a paper-towel dispenser above the sink in the grill area.
