Presto
Today is a fast-paced day. I was scheduled for a job orientation for John Little at Specialists’ Shopping Centre, 2pm today.
I think many details were omitted when I went for my application, because nobody told me I was to dress (like everybody else) in white polo tee-shirt and long dark pants. Of course I know that this is applicable for the working days themselves, but nobody told me I had to dress like that for the orientation.
Two o’clock and we were led into the designated training room. There were three tables of cashiers; the logistics people took up one table. There were four basket collectors and two outports: me and a University graduate, Lawrence. The basket collectors were tasked to collect empty plastic bags and distribute them to the customers at the entrance of the hall. Lawrence and I, as outports, were to ship the goods about the exhibition hall, so it’s lots of physical action; great training for NS.
The orientation basically comprised of some administrative work. Whatever we had to know was explained. The best part: we’re being paid for going there to sit around and listen to the talk.
