Working the floor: We were most often assigned a “zone” that we would usually work alone unless it was really busy. While there, we were pretty much in charge of that space (helping customers, setting up displays, keeping the area nice and neat, etc), but we also had to make sure to suggest items, and zones outside of our own, for the customer to shop. Though I was required to have complete store knowledge, I was ‘master’ of the “PINK” section, because it was bright and fun and, as my managers would say, “totally fit [my] personality!” I was never behind the register, and other than working different zones here and there, the second place I worked in most was the fitting room. I mention this because, this was where I learned the most about reading what people want and need, and providing superior service for the individual. Working in a store that sells intimates puts you in some delicate situations, especially in the fitting rooms. We all had to learn how to measure and fit customers to the best bras, but most of this skill is practiced in the fitting room. Everyone was different, but I found working with the young girls not only the most difficult of tasks, but the most rewarding as well. Watching a girl come in looking completely terrified, and even more confused, and walking out with a new found confidence, knowledge and sense of achievement made me feel like I was doing more than just my job! I can’t count the number of valuable skills I learned in this most unlikely place.
