Make Your Summer Job Count!
If you're in college, than it is
safe to assume that you've experienced the dreaded summer job. Whether it's
waiting tables, guarding lives, or delivering pizza we've all been there. Your
summer job doesn't have to be a total waste however. You can gain some good
experience by working in the trenches. Keep these things in mind next time you
get yelled at by a customer and be sure to list your new found skills on your
resume.
1. Provide Excellent Customer
Service
Next time you are getting yelled at
by an unhappy customer; remind yourself that if you handle it correctly, it
will look awesome on a resume. Employers love to see individuals that can
handle escalated situations. If you keep your cool and make the customer happy it
will go a long way in the work place. No matter what job you have it is likely
that you deal with customers at some point. If you provide a quality
experience, it can really take you far.
2. Learn the Trade
Employers love to see that you care
about the position that you're in. That means if you are serving ice cream, you
should know all there is to know about the ice cream you are serving. Learn the
product or the service that your company offers and you will excel in your
field even if it is just cleaning carpets. And be sure to mention that
experience on your resume.
3. Be Proactive
Take any and all of your assignments seriously and complete them to the best of your ability. If you feel you can
make a difference in the way things are run or solve a problem don't be afraid
to do what you can. Making customers happy is your ultimate goal and if you do
your dandiest to accomplish that it won't go unnoticed.
Some jobs really can suck its just
part of growing up. Fortunately any job has the potential to give you a quality
learning experience. If you play your cards right and work hard you will earn
more working experiences that can help you later in the job field. Hang in
there and do your best and you'll go far!
