The creator offers tips on work uniforms, what gigs she has looked into, and how the process normally goes. In this video, she had two shifts scheduled at Circle K.

“I’m here, clocked in. The process is pretty simple,” she says. “You just let the manager know you’re here, put your code in, and start working.”

After returning home, Lindsay praises Shiftsmart’s quick payment turnaround as she expects payment to come the next morning.
