Lesson Learned

The second I turned sixteen, my parents forced me to get a job. I didn’t want a job at the time because I was so busy with school and choir. But I also needed a way to pay for choir, tour, and any activities I ever wanted to do. My parents were done giving me money. As much as I didn’t like the idea, I was forced to accept it. I was able to find a job at TJ Maxx, but I didn’t really like it. The job I really wanted was at Deseret Book. I love to read books, plus they had the perfect hours to fit my schedule and they were closed on Sunday’s.
Of course, I was not the only person that wanted to work there. They get ten to twenty applications a week, and there was some tough competition, and I was still in high school with almost no work history. Luckily, I had a friend that vouched for me and told the manager that I would be a great addition to the staff. It still took me two months to get the job, and I worked very hard for it. I had to call every couple days and bug the manager about my application, and he finally gave me an interview and offered me the job. I was so happy.
I loved working at Deseret Book. I still miss it all the time. I started out working in the Lionhouse Pantry, which was in the back of the store. I would make the salads and bake the rolls. I quickly grew bored of that. What I really wanted was to sell the books. Each shift I would hurry and get my list of things done in the pantry so that I could go out on the floor and sell. They have a program called the Platinum Program, which is just a rewards program. The difference in Deseret Book’s rewards program was that customers had to pay $25 to sign up, so it was really hard to get anyone to do that. Only for me, it was really easy. I was a natural salesperson. I remember one time, a man came in to buy one book for his wife and I sold him the entire set, which was 10 books total, plus a Platinum account. I consistently sold quadruple the number of Platinum accounts than anyone else in my store, including the store manager. I was good. And I knew it.
When I was nineteen-years-old, I finally got promoted to supervisor. I was really excited to finally be rewarded for my success and hard work. I knew I deserved that promotion. But I knew it a little too much. Before my promotion, I had become close friends with my coworkers. When I got promoted, I was arrogant, and I quickly lost their respect and friendship. The girls I had once laughed with and talked to now laughed and talked without me, but would quiet down when I walked up. They may have been a little jealous, but I over-exaggerated their jealousy and made myself believe that they wished they were me. I knew I was the best, and I knew that they knew it.
The power quickly went to my head. I thought I was irreplaceable, an asset that the company would never want to lose no matter the cost. Soon, I was ordering my former friends around, acting like they never did anything good en.
Although the slide show was prepared for recent grads, but it\'s totally applicable to everyone and anyone who is looking for a job, or a change in career.
11 truths all interns have to accept to get the most out of the jobPursue Asia
If you’ve ever been a summer intern, you know how real the struggle can be.
Between mastering the coffee maker, making it through your first meeting, and keeping it together when your desk phone rings — sacrificing your summer for work experience can be all kinds of stressful. Rewarding, yes, but mostly stressful.
Below, the 11 stages of being a summer intern, from start to finish:
Job Search Survival Kit -- How To Deal With The Layoff Hurt And Learn From It --Anthony Hines
This is my most important presentation because it helps to build you back up so that you are able to be strong during the process and really thrive when you gain your next opportunity.
The following is a presenation that discusses possible ways to handle people at work who are just plain nasty to be around. Hopefully these tips will help you out if you are dealing with this in the workplace.
Who Am I….I am a hardworking guy who, like many others, found himself out of work during the economic downturn in 2010. After a long battle of wrong turns, job search strategies that led to no where, and dead end leads, I decided to take a more strategic approach to my job search. Like anything else in life, I needed to treat my search like a full-time job and create a plan that would allow me to stand out above the competition. This came in especially handy as I was in transition again in 2017. Basically, I just used the tips that I have shared with others and was out of work a total of ZERO days. Yes, I got a job offer the day after my last day at my previous job. Let me show you how I did it so you too can have a quicker landing than you would have had without my tips.
Why Am I Sharing What Helped Me…because I quickly realized that to handle an event like that is to focus on what you can control and share the experience to help others. I believe that an experience not shared is a lost opportunity in life, and that smart people learn from their mistakes and smarter people learn from other people’s experiences. Plus, I told myself that once I figured this out I would share it with others so that they too could navigate the world of unemployment. In these chapters, I show you how I did it so that you will have the confidence to make it through the process. I hope that this presentation helps you to get your next great job.

SCHOOL TO WORK TRANSITION
EMPATHISE AND DEFINE

2. EMPATHY MAP
Say Think Feel
I had already been working 4 days a week
for the past 4 years.
It won’t be so hard to make the transition. Confident.
The biggest adjustment was knowing that
you had to be somewhere at 9am every
morning.
All of a sudden I have to change my routine
(which I enjoy). I am losing my free time.
Put out by reality.
Finding someone that wanted to hire me. Where do i look? I don’t know where to go
for information.
Worried.
Not knowing how the world works, or what
you want.
XXXXXXXXX Worried. Anxious.
The university tells you expectations, office
ettiquette, what to wear, but that’s it.
Is that all? Isn’t there more? Left to fend for myself.
They gave me the degree, then it was up to
me.
It’s up to me now. No-one really knows the
situation I’m in.
Left to fend for myself.
I told them I would leave then. I told them
if you value me at that, then we arent a
good fit.
This isn’t fair. I am worth more than that. Self empowered.
I was going from undergrad to grad, and
my boss didn’t want to give me an increase
in salary. And that was very difficult to
negotiate because I had no leverage and
nothing to negotiate with except that now I
have a piece of paper.
This isn’t fair. Why don’t they teach this
stuff at school? Money, negotiations... real
world stuff?
Helpless. Angry.
3. A confident, task-oriented, independent, recent
university graduate (Hinda) needs a way to
understand real world money matters before
entering the workforce. Not only did she not
know how to negotiate her salary, but was
already at a disadvantage due to having no
industry experience.
