so after sitting ard and shaking my legs for 2mths, finally back to work. decided to do part time, so back to the shop floor i go while searching for full time job. ironic of taking a degree but going back to shop floor. back end of retails seems not to be hiring fresh grads, and much less a private uni fresh grad want to fight with local uni grad? not possible. private uni grads, pls take ur q no. behind those local uni grads. exactly what i'm doing now. one mistake i failed to do when I had the chance was do internship. i learnt my lesson the hard way. so for those who are in uni now, u got to do internship. dun mind the shitty pay, but the thing is employers are looking for ppl with exp, even the shittiest intern, it's also considered an exp. well, too bad, it's over for me to go thru internship, so i gotta do is hope and wish and pray that i get a job where they don't mind training me.
realising this part time job, i kinda of grew attachment to it and it's only my 1st day. so much ironic in the job scope thou. 1) i hate to do sales and approach ppl. because i know when i shop, i don't like people to come approach me. let me do it my own pace. yet i'm doing all these and more. 2) i always feel a fear when entering luxury stores because of the "grand" feel that makes me feel like i'm out of place, yet now i'm working in it. 3) u know how u always see those staffs clean those glass? yup, i'm doing those. yet i don't even do it at home. -.-||| 4) never into male fashion, yet i seems to get it instead of letting me go bottega, or jestina or blvgari. only side benefit i see from it? at least my immediate boss is a male and not a female. (male bosses tend to be better to handle than female bosses, if u know what i mean.)
I actually learn so much about display, diff types of pens and watches that guys prefered. (hehe, good learning ground for me to buy present for whoever is my next lucky one. :x) anyway, to think i thought tagheuer is expensive, boy was i wrong. this brand apparently is even more ex according to my boss (whose name by the way is like a first time i see in this world - andean.) guess the brand yet? i never did know that these brands in SG is under one of the top korea company that everyone has heard off. lotte. yeah, i'm working under lotte with a korean HR and director, who double check whether am i korean mixed. ^^V (YAY!) hahaha! so the brand i'm under is mont blanc which to me, i only know it sells pens and not anything else. (apparently SG nv bring in their facial wash. like a seriously, buy mont blanc facial wash?! *faints* rich people jiu shi bu yi yang.) and after so called half an hr product training, they just left me to look after the shop myself. well done. U GUYS THINK TOO HIGHLY OF ME LA! which resulted in me running to all the other shops for SOS. hahahaha! i like to stay at lotte duty free shop, because they play korean songs all day~ and on top of that, miranda kerr and SNSD keep "staring" back at me. awwww~ hahaha!!!! (but the ppl they put in that store arrrr....... *speechless*) so apparently they are so under-staffed that 1 person run the whole store and clever me has been assigned to closing shift aka late flights. meaning i end work everyday at 12 midnight. not that i mind. (since i'm a night animal. and i like to stay out late at night. this gives me a perfect reason to. kekeke. and basically because i can schedules all my other interviews in the morning where i look like a zombie and let me screw up even more interviews.) so between andean, kenneth and me, 3 of us in that store. apparently they lack a female in that store, so i got assigned to it. and also because "mummy" keep saying i can service a few ppl at the same time, hence stressing me up now that i'm at the store. i mean, i'm just a SA what, why stress? no lor, they give me target to hit also. *faints* give me comission la! -.-||| (aka to their discussion, it's something i can pick from mont blanc. (thanks, i know i guy, but also not that guyish yet pls!))
anway, enough of my part time job, was super stress the previous week cause i got called up for interview at RSH for merchandising job. pretty much i screwed it up. well done. because when i agree to do this part time job, RSH called me for 2nd interview. stress that i can't give up RSH and at the same time, i can't give up lotte because i will affect "mummy" reputation. so honesty is the best policy. told them i can only work after 3 weeks, which wasn't that bad since i screwed up at one of the question when u as an interviewee suppose to bootlick the company. [out of these 3 brands - H&M, Mango and Zara, which do you prefer to shop at?] so clever me done research on the company beforehand, did not bootlick the company due to brain malfunction. yes, i chose H&M out of 3, which the other 2 is their company brand! just shoot me in the head. and my response? "I used to shop at Mango, but their styles after a while didn't suit my taste and the price range was a bit high. So i swop to H&M because their items are more affordable for a student like me." HELLO! i shopped at ZARA too!!! why didn't I say?! u cannot imagine how many times i knock my own head against the wall when i came out. yes, i meant literally. at the bus stop, i also go knocked somemore. haix. so say bye bye to RSH that job. haix. well done for screwing it up. u have only urself to blame. (well, 3/4 of the blame.) remaining 1/4? why did they have to DECORATE THE ROOM SO NICELY IN A BASKETBALL THEME! TA MA DE! (well, i don't have to explain that part anymore.) need to control my brain thinking.
well, at least it ain't so bad now. WRONG! now everyday i see the word - Nicolas. WHY IN THE WORLD DO U HAVE A COLLECTION OF WATCHES NAMED IN THIS COLLECTION NAME! BLOODY HELL! haix. whatever. welcome to screw my life upside down whenever u feel like it. not like it's making any difference anyway. okay, enough of lengthy post, i need sleep. 2hrs the night before ain't good, and i'm working mid shift today because i need to learn about watches and their working functions. so for now, bye~~~ the mystery remains whether will i be employed by the end of the year.....
