Nicholas Chomiak is an intelligent, “genuine soul”, who demonstrates positivity and can pick others up. He is a good worker, fully enjoys being around other people, and working in an environment that promotes customer service and satisfaction.
Nicholas has been working at Weis Supermarket on Thomas Johnson Drive since September 14th, 2021. At Weis he manages the carts, faces products on the shelves, provides customer service, and performs light custodial work, keeps the store tidy and provides customers with an overall better shopping experience.
In preparation for interviewing, Nicholas participated in the biannual EmployABILITY Showcase, Frederick County’s Reverse Job Fair for Individuals with Disabilities. He also attended the job fair’s workshop and dress rehearsal giving him the opportunity to put his best foot forward.
In early April of this year, Nicholas and his mom went to Beans & Dreams – Nektario’s Place in Middletown, after hearing that they were hiring. Upon meeting Nicholas and seeing his bright, inquisitive personality, he was hired on the spot. He began part time work at the new Middletown café on April 9, 2024.
When asked what he likes best about working in his new Nicholas said, “I love my job”, “I like going behind the counters and taking peoples orders and filling them”, “I like talking to customers and greeting them and welcoming them.” Nicholas is currently working at both locations.
We want to thank Weis Supermarket and Beans & Dreams – Nektario’s Place for their outstanding commitment supporting people in competitive, integrated employment. These have been amazing opportunities for Nicholas as they provide him the environments he needs to demonstrate his customer service skills, independence, and work as part of a team.
