At sixteen years of age, John D. Rockefeller walked Cleveland, Ohio’s sweltering streets all day, every day, six days a week job hunting. He visited the same employers two and three times. Finally, he stopped at Hewitt and Tuttle, a general wholesale firm in a three story building. John was able to speak with the owners and demonstrate his handwriting. John D. Rockefeller was offered his first job as a bookkeeper/clerk. “That was a momentous day to me, getting the first foothold, the chance to earn my living.”
