My job, a sales assistant, is surprisingly fulfilling. What is the job scope of a sales assistant? A good knowledge on the product, a good service attitude, good communication skills and efficiently handing of stocks. However, my job, a sales assistant, is abit more special. How else can a sales assistant be able to order people to do things for you? I meant not bossing my colleagues around but just mainly asking them to help out with some of the more simple tasks. And of wonders of wonders, they actually listened to me! Imagine a 19 year old sales assistant working part time is able to gain the trust and respect of fellow colleagues of the older 25/26 year old full timers! This is something which I manage to secure working for WT. I feel as though as I am undergoing a leadership course while working! My more senior colleagues allow me the freedom to do whatever I want and will only reprime me when I did something very wrong, the responsibility of handling the cashier and stocks and even the authority to ask the more junior colleagues to do things for me! Doesn't this sounds like a dream part time job?

Oh wait! It gets even better! Basically, no one will order me around with the exception of my supervisor and one other senior colleagues. The rest of my colleagues simply would not ask me to do anything at all! That means that I get to slack most of my time! What job pays you a average hourly wage to slack? As far as I can think of, there is only a handful of this job around and I feel that I am very lucky to get whole of one of them.

I am really grateful with the opportunities my seniors at my work place has given me. I can really use the experiences gained working there to apply on my school works. One of my wishes is to be a good leader, a skill which I lacked throughout my school life and do not have any opportunity to pursue this skill but it is actually given to me via my work. I will make full use of this opportunity and develop a better me!
