For about 6 months I was apart of the nightly crew who would do go backs, assist customers, and maintained the departments. After that I got my promotion as the supervisor of womens lingerie and sleepwear. I learned how to use different components of out store operating system and our hand held gadgets.

I am still currently in that position but for 3 months i trained on how to process defective, damaged, discountinued products. I learned all of the basics for that positions and quit a bit of the advanced stuff. With all of that I 've learned how to work in other ares in the store like our womens mens and kids clothing, along with the sshoes and infant department. While also being trained on how to do process and ship our online orders.

    As I have journeyed throughout my first half of a semester, I have learned a few things. Some were myths that I believed to be true, that turned out to be false and others were small points that I was never taught in high school. I am not five-star rated in the English department or anything related to writing a paper, because my strong suit is in mathematics. I can figure out any equation or formula you give me but giving me a paper to write is confusing to me. I have learned how to use my time wisely and make smart decisions on how long to spend working on my essays at a time, and when to start my essays.…

    Personal Identity; a concept of oneself most individuals are expected to possess. Ever since the personality quizzes and future career planning units that took place throughout courses in elementary and middle school, I have found the importance of self-concept in adult life to be abundantly clear. In addition to determining a pathway to future success, personal identity allows for interpersonal connections and relationships. Quite honestly, even without all the external pressures, a sense of myself cultivates feelings of personal security, calmness, and acceptance.…

    For many years, I have naturally, almost without thought, examined every part of customer service from a customers point of view, whenever I am doing business as a customer. Over the years, I have learned that not only does it help me determine where to do business, and where not to do business, but also where the customer service that I provide needs improvement. I continually make mental notes of what to do, as well as what not to do based on my experiences as a customer, and furthermore, make the tweaks necessary to implement what I have learned in my own bag of customer service related tools. The following are five things that can instantly ruin the customer experience. 1.…

    It is said that us, human beings are shaped by their environment, experiences, and society.

Good or bad, right or wrong, every incident, event and decision has played an important role into converting an individual. Every shaping of a person is unique from another, although sometimes a few of the same incidents can happen to others, the intake and effect would be different.

    Mark Twain once said, “The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.” As a person who struggles with depression and low self-esteem, I find this quote to be very easy to relate to.

This essay gives me a chance to explore the parts of myself that I am proud of and examine the people and events that have shaped me.

    Self-Reflecting is never an easy task, no matter who you are. Usually, individuals always focus on the bad that they have done, rather than the good. There is usually always more good than bad but human nature makes us feel like we have to point out the bad instead of the good, which is sad. Throughout my year in Mr. McGee 's class, I have completed what seems to be a never ending list of work, and I always seemed to be up into the wee hours of the night, or morning, finishing up annotations, or writing my essay to make sure I it finished on time. Self-Evaluation is something that is a hard task for many people, but when it is done, there are times that it makes you feel better about yourself.…
