One week job event 7-13th Aug 2009 Labels: One week event job at Sembonia...
Just ended my one week job event.. For ur info, i was actually working as a handbags sales promoter for Sembonia outside Tangs Plaza...
Hmm.. To conclude this job, it was my first time experience in doing a retail job hence it was pretty interesting... Got to know a few colleagues there who were also either like me doing a wk job or doing temp part time for Carlo-Rino... It was nice knowing them coz i think without them, I will be bored to death esp when sales were really bad... Chitchatting was the best thing when there's not a single customer and when u got nth to do but jus stand for 6-8hrs daily...
A sense of satisfaction came over me whenever i managed to sell away at least a bag..Haha.. And it was pretty fun when i ever sold a $200+ bag to a young korean couple....
Also there was another chance whereby i felt so angry with myself coz i lost at least $150 sales to three korean men.These three korean men looked kinda fierce intially, my colleague was actually attending to them first but in the end they came over to me n asked me the bag prices, etc... Only one of them understood a bit of english, hence i was trying my best to communicate with them and telling them bout the discount and promotion...They only got interested when i told them there was 20% discount n were really planning to buy a few bags i think but in the end they didnt buy... Reason being, i didnt know my booth cashier counter can actually accept US Dollar n I actually went to tell them I dont think our counter can accept... What's more the cashier was away as she sometimes got bored n sneak away awhile.. Otherwise it will be my first sales for that day at noon..Even funny thing is that i can tell the korean man was sincere in buying as he kept showing me the receipt he bought inside tangs plaza could accept US Dollar and kept explaining everything to me i korean...haha... But i was slightly late when i found out the truth...All 3 of them even said sorry to me when they couldnt buy... boohoo....
And the better targets to get customers buying the handbags are from Indonesians... Followed by maybe some pple fr Dubai and Korea and China i guess...

And the three Yuns... Hui Yun, Si Yun and Sheau Yun...Wahaha... First time working with so many Yuns tgt... haha.. Hui Yun, Si Yun and Sheau Yun all live rather nearby, they went home tgt once... All in the east...haha...
