Just A Girl With Goals.

Hi everyone, I hope you are in the best of health! Stop reading this if you are not, probably you have to seek doctor for help of course. Before pursuing degree studies, I already planned to work somewhere for only part time job. This is correlated to my intention to make a small income by myself and also to gain some experiences. I learned about the management of a store, how it operate and how to organize new arrival stocks.

So, today, I am going to share about my part time job in UKM. I started to do this kind of job in the final week of October. To be exact, I am a part time worker at Bei Mart, which organized by Bachelors of Entrepreneurship and Innovation (BEI) students as a whole. There are 5 students who is also involved in the duty as well. Bei Mart is located at Faculty Economics and Management, from the main entrance, go to the right, in front of Bilik Siswazah 17, then you will find our mart on your left side. It is also near to Fast 2 Print.

Cashier counter.

My duty is to be a cashier, record each items purchased by customers. But, besides that, I have to update the inventory which required to count the stocks and items left once a week. For the opening, I will replace the water heater, and reboiled. Switch on the lamp and air conditioner, then do daily routine which includes sweep the floor. For closing, I need to calculate total sales of the day and have to lock the door. The mart is closed!

I learned a lot while having a part time job here. I could get to know more people and even making some new friends. From that, I can improve my communications skills in convince people to buy something in the store. For example, some of the customers who came in,they requested for certain items to be sold here hence, told me what to improve in order to achieve higher sales.With these kind of conversation, I'm also capable of giving my own opinions and perceptions thus share ideas with others.

Other than getting opportunity of networking, involving in a part time job also help me to gain work experience. It is super important for us to acquire knowledge and experience in this life. This is because, it can help us enhance our self-esteem by developing our soft skills. Besides that, whenever it comes to apply a job, it is a bonus for us to include in our job experiences in our resume. Consecutively, we will get extra credit to get hired by the recruiter.

With that, I would like to thank all you who reads this post. Life is short, be grateful of what you have and enjoy every single things in your life. See ya!
