My First Job

Hmm,actually I wanted to work since last year but only started this year.It's a job introduced by my friend,Val,xD,and the job is all about promoting a new range of ice-cream flavours.And of course,that includes persuading people to come to you,try it and probably buy it.It's definitely a challenge to me because I'm worst in handling people despite there are friendly and supportive.I hesitated for a quite long while whether to accept this challenging job,but having considered that I still have to overcome the fear in me one day,maybe not today but probably a few years later.SO,I accepted the job and started my life in GIANT!!xD
I've only worked for three days actually,today is the fourth and my job is only on weekends,so I thought it will be relaxing.For a time like now,I've no way to accept the 5 day job since there is already a job specially "reserved" for me at home,haha,yea,I've to help my mom to do the housework on weekdays.=) But that's just my pessimistic way of thinking,haha,until the first day I relly stepped into the GIANT which I'm going to work in and went through all the strange process..hmm,I knew it isn't easy anymore.I've to enter from a special entrance for staff,punch the card,get my tag and many other things to imply.
Lucky for me,so far I've not met any of my enemies,neither friends.It's a fast training for me and now that I've managed some skills of selling ice-cream,as well as scooping ice-cream in few secondsxD,my hands are functioning throughout the day,so do my legs.The job which I've been given isn't very hard,even an 10 year old kid manages to do it well,haha,it's just a matter of patience and mood.You just have to gum the permanent smile on your face because no one will even dare to come to you if you don't smile.xD And of course,you have to control your tanthrum because many kids will chase after you just for a cup of sample.YES,a small cup of sample.And these are some conversations and situations you will often come to..
CONVERSATION 1
ME:Hi,Sir,would you like to try on our new flavours?
SIR:(smiling and just passes by)
ME:We are having promotion for our ice-cream now.And you can have a try on our ice-cream,WE HAVE SAMPLE,YOU CAN TRY!!
SIR:Oh...boleh makan free e!!(calling all his kids to come and "try")amal,ali,alan,cepat mari,boleh ambil ice-cream ini dan makan,ini ialah free punya.
ME:(I don't even get a chance to promote because I'm just busy scooping ice-cream) and that is what he brings to me...more work!!
SIR:hmm,sedaplah ice-cream ini.Boleh ambil satu lagi?
ME:Boleh sir.
SIR:Memang sedap.Ok,terima kasih ya.and just goes off with his bunch of kids....

There are also many of them giving lame excuses just to escape from buying our ice-cream.xD Some of them purposely turn to another direction to miss our counter.xDLooking
at them doing all these ,I feel funny but I can't help it since he rejects us far far away,showing the "no no,please do not come to me" kind of face.=) On the other hand,there are also some of them who are always supportive and kind,atleast they are willing to just stop by a few minutes and listen to us.Sometimes it's just not a matter of selling ice-cream,but the interaction between the customer and I does matter as well.I just feel like knowing their demands so that I can improve my selling skill and tend to tackle different types of customers.Generally,it's a tiring job,but I truly believe that there's not easy money,every cent comes with effort made.Through this job,I do understand more of people's mentally and phsycology changes
,how they think and choose.The most suprising part is that Val and I received a compliment letter from a customer,praising on our service.Professional??still a long way to go...I know I have rooms to improve...
friendly..maybe yes but why do most of the kids afraid of me?*scratching my heads*
charming..haha,no kidding!!how can a dumbo suddenly becomes charming?
But I do work hard and trying to make more sales....it's an achienvement of mine if I can reach my target,not their target.Besides, I also get to know some friends there,haha,we're having this system barter with other promoters in GIANT...!!=) exchanging our products and have "special"
sample for us.We have "uncle","gong gong","emma" there,haha,many other funny names we named them.It's not a bad experience,though it's a bit tiring,and I'm still going to work for a few more weeks maybe,=) making my weekends to the fullest,and now I suppose I'm going to work on next year,when the SPM ends,maybe another type of job.WHo knows...I'm just thinking!!tee-hee-hee
