Yanzi, Manni, Ah Yuan, Xiaoyu, Mingming, Chen, Daxiang ......
It's been 50 days since we met you, time can't measure friendship, and we've gone through so many things together.
June 9 WU campus job fair
Now that I think about it, maybe I, like many partners who joined Today, was touched by a certain phrase: don't choose to be comfortable when you can suffer the most.
At the job fair, the first time I heard that sentence, "Every lamp has the dream of warming the city". the key words of Today became dream, temperature, and sentimental. Of course, there is another very important thing that is the element of becoming a management trainee: the power of action.
The second brother was assigned a question: go to the Sakura Tower store to find the brand of his favorite yogurt, reply in the background of Today's public number, and if it is correct, you will get a channel to submit your resume. I was very excited at that time and thought it was the time to test myself. I checked the map on my cell phone before the presentation was over, and as soon as COCO said it was over, I ran. When I got to the Sakura Tower store, I met another guy who asked me if you were looking for yogurt. He asked, "Are you looking for yogurt too?" and we went there together. The boy and I stood in front of the yogurt counter for a few moments, and I thought, "Why don't we try them one by one? There's always one that's right. Later I always found a brand originating from Shanghai, thinking that my second brother was from Shanghai, I thought in all likelihood it would be it, and it just so happened that the other boy also tried out a brand called "Uno". Coincidentally, Uno had a buy-one-get-one-free program at the time, so the guy bought two bottles and gave me one as a gift. So we chatted and learned that he was a second-year student at Huashi University, an undergraduate in logistics, and had been following Today for quite a long time, and felt that there was a chance. I think it's a good idea to think about it clearly, but I don't think we'll see each other again later on.
June 15, DreamWorks 2.0 interview
At that time, a **** is three small partners. There were two others who were late, and the three of us had to discuss whether or not to let them both join the interview first. It was a pretty fresh way to play it, that's what I thought at the time. It was also the first time that I was exposed to the strict rule of "punctuality is tardiness". The topic of the interview was a simple self-introduction, followed by a no-lead group discussion on opening a Today convenience store. Where and what kind of store? I finished reading "The Philosophy of Retailing" before the interview, so I knew a little bit more about the inner workings of a convenience store, so I was able to talk about it. In addition, the entire discussion session, I found that the study of the second brother's familiarity with Wuhan is particularly colorful a point, really worthy of later we gave him the nickname, Wuhan Tong, hahaha.
There is also an interesting part of the interview on that day, after the display review, the second brother said, you choose a person to become your partner. The heart secretly admire, good poison link. But although toxic, this choice will be very real. The results of the choice is amazing, only I and the second brother of the study is to choose each other to become a junior partner, the picture is a little too beautiful.
And later notified the results, but also learned that the group, only I and the second brother over the study. I think it is also a kind of fate. The first time I was in the room, I was in the room, and I was in the room, and I was in the room, and I was in the room, and I was in the room.
June 21st, we met Chun for the first time
The first time our friends got together was relatively united. Chun talked to us. What I still remember now is that he said, don't think you are still young, you have to have a valley mentality: when you first enter the workplace, you have to learn to clear your mind and go fast to grow. The first time we met, we didn't have such a deep feeling, but after listening to Chun's speech more, we realized that he was an extremely strict person, and the representative of strictness is "fruitlessness means incompetence", and in the face of problems, he seemed to have a fiery eye and hit the nail on the head. His advice to us is to rely on "see" and "believe" to quickly grow into a convenience store person in the first year of entering Today.
Another fortunate event of the day was meeting Mu Yan, the founder of Lily.com, who came to share his thoughts on the failures of Lily.com's entrepreneurial journey. It is said that this is a continuation of the spirit of Lakeside University: success cannot be replicated, but failure can be learned.
The more we got to know, the more we realized that when we introduced Chun, we had to emphasize that he was the first student of Lakeside University. It is true that because of that experience, so that he befriended a lot of excellent entrepreneurs, and later there are quite a lot of mutual effectiveness of the fate. For example, the second brother is a classmate of Chun Lakeside, Mu Yan is also.
July 4 ~ 6 new training
The first time to go to the Jiaotong Institute, to participate in the training. The one who gave us the lesson was Lun, a big brother of 94. I was a little bit embarrassed to be the same 94. I was so impressed with him because he had a lot of experience in the store, and he just came up with "one" case, and it was very exciting. At that time, the class also made a grouping, respectively, is the whine group and the group of dicks, taken from the whine of the dicks, do not ask me why, hahahaha.
The latter two days to go to the eight all the way store practice, wipe the garbage can, pulling row noodles, cashier, wash the soybean milk machine ...... to clean up the bodies of small insects lying behind the shelves. So close to the convenience store, in-depth exploration, this is also the first time.
At noon, a few of us headed there to sit down, eat bento together, try different flavors, very joyful. On the last day, Lun bought his own order so that we could all learn how to hit the frosting, and asked us to hit one for ourselves one by one, and several of us hit it crookedly, and the tip of the top collapsed, which was a few moments of joy.
From others to send events, to their own initiative to find things to do, as if from this training began. It was during the training that I first heard about the POA theory. I can't imagine that this POA will be hung on our lips every day, like a code word for communication between Today people.
July 7~July 19 Become a store clerk, feel the busyness and temperature
After the training, we were basically divided into two groups to work in a few stores that had a daily business of over 10,000, or over several tens of thousands. This was the first time in my life that I had ever worked in a convenience store. (A lot of first time ah, hahahaha) in the store, are three shifts, morning shift, middle shift, evening shift. The morning shift has two stops, one for the morning rush and one for the afternoon rush. I was in the Tian Zi Plaza store, the peak is particularly obvious, although very busy, but a six dollar breakfast handed to the customer, but still quite a sense of accomplishment. The lunch rush is more interesting is that the hot lunch box heat not over, so many people to shout at the top of their voices, "gold soup beef rice is ready, please come to take a moment.
I've been on the night shift twice, and it's true what I said, the night shift is the best way to feel the temperature of a 24-hour convenience store. At eleven or two o'clock, people from the surrounding business district are off work and come to buy some food and drink. At one or two o'clock, the master who does chauffeur-driven transportation, comes to buy a tea egg and a bucket of instant noodles can also be filled with hunger. Once, an elder sister, who was in charge of the construction of a project, said that she had to work overnight and she had to be the supervisor. That night, she came to buy a porridge, and rested in the store for a long time, she rambled with me, fortunately, there are still you 24-hour convenience stores, outside the lights are turned off, it's too scary. It turns out to be true, a lamp, always guarding a group of people.
It's also a short experience of these two weeks, so that I have developed a habit, that is, no matter how tired, in the store is always full of blood resurrection state. "Welcome to Today, fresh food bento hot sale, welcome to buy". Because, feeling this responsibility, every customer who enters the store, should be served well.
716 ninth anniversary party - for the dream
The ninth anniversary party, was held in the Paragon 403 Art Center. In front of the stage put five big words: fight for the dream, quite a feeling.
The party was very literary, heard a lot of stories, a lot of thanks and feelings, behind a letter is everyone really pay for TODAY's youth, the impression is quite deep, the merchandise department boss Xin's letter is titled: here are my most beautiful years. After graduating from college, Xin has been following Chun, from Nanning to Wuhan, 9 years, really, is the most beautiful years. Also feel very deep, is a number of times Chun can not help but emotional tears, can join this event, can witness all the moving moments, to listen to the Today people's past, together with the vision of the future, is a great thing!
717 Convenience Store Carnival Launch Ceremony
Berlin Square, lit up by Today. The first time I heard "Living Dreamer" and saw the lovely dance. Like hanging out with everyone, no work schedule. Was given the task of observing the event site, but we just kept looking for something to eat, hahaha, and joining in to grab the 71.8 and 7.18 carnival coupons. I wasn't going to buy the coupons, but after thinking about it, I need to be very clear to myself, and the customers have questions to answer them, so I bought them.
After the event, it was at the scene to help maintain the order, many guests are waiting in line, to receive gifts. Looking at the long queue, the heart is quite happy, very sense of accomplishment.
718 convenience store carnival
718 day, is back to the original store to help work. But it is a pity that the atmosphere of the day did not burst, it seems cold and quiet. First, 718 the morning of the day only to know 718 day is not the second half price, only fill 100 get 158 activities, quite a big oolong, the whole store is wrong, the partners also tuned a lot of goods.
In addition, the activities of the voucher because the morning began to online recharge system burst, so there is a period of time the customer is actually wasted, others to ask, we said sold out. After a long time, when again reviewing the 718 activities, only to learn that many stores are with familiar customers, you WeChat transfer my money, I give you to recharge. So this is also the first time to y realize that even in the case of unfavorable conditions, it is necessary to go as far as possible to complete, which is the sale.
July 19th Review
DreamWorks 3.0 review, the partners got together again, really happy. Our group is doing an internal inspection of a single, really need to output, only to find that it is not easy, do not know a lot, go around to ask. But the output of the stage is necessary, because it means to consider this matter very seriously, as far as possible to improve it.
This time when the review, the legend rolled up with the second brother from Shanghai to Wuhan, a child, Xiang Jie, joined our team, 8 people small team, assembled. Before for some reason gone two small partners, first bridge and Mengnan, also wish they can find more suitable for their own world.
July 21 ~ August 3, directly-managed stores to learn + with the supervisor of the store tour
The first stage of the store, the store is divided into the king of the store, the daily business is particularly high, so let us have a better understanding of the outside of a good convenience store. In the second phase, we went down to the directly managed stores, all of which were stores that couldn't make ends meet, and the number of customers coming in was very low. I remember just a few days to the store, we are in the group, are very uncomfortable, all of a sudden from a very busy store, very full of stores, to a very idle store, idle to see a customer will be very happy to come in the store, it is very black humor.
But after all, to the directly managed stores O is not the same, this stage of the store is mainly to understand the back end. After all, the staff of the direct store, more time to take us, teach us things in the store, ordering, data analysis and so on.
After a week in the directly managed stores, some are 5 days, some are 7 days, we began to tour the store with the supervisor, began to measure the various regions of Wuhan with their feet. The first day with the supervisor of the store, Jun said, no umbrellas, and the first day to walk 25,000 steps. I didn't take it seriously and thought he was just teasing me. Later I realized that the supervisor was not teasing me, indeed at that time it should be Mr. Iwase or someone else who had made such an agreement, O is to let me y appreciate the difficulty of the supervisor. But seriously, the first day of the tour, 7 stores down, most of the time on foot, oh yes, in addition to the number of requirements, no umbrellas, but also can not ride a bicycle. The hot sun, wet clothes, walking to the store, listening to the supervisor and partners to communicate, feel the clothes are about to dry out, the supervisor said, let's go, go to the next store.
Behind also followed the supervisor training three days store, but it rained, not so hot, a little better. In a week's time, with the supervisor to run around the store, in our case, just experience, but the summer rain, winter wind, but the supervisor every day of the work of the daily routine, it is not easy.
This is also the reason why I like the trainee program very much, to experience in different positions, when we really need to make a decision one day, we can take into account multiple parties, rather than narrowly only see their own interests. Building more empathy with experience is probably the point.
August 7 Review
DreamWorks 3.0 review. Split into two groups to present, each with their own micro-innovation topic. This time, the presentation was in the roadshow hall, several teachers were there, and so were the brothers and sisters of the Imjing class. This time, our group planned to make a collection of store activities in the hope that more consumers will be attracted by the activities, increase the frequency of visits to the store, and increase their stickiness. In our opinion, it makes sense. But after the display, there is the realization of the elder brother and sister's question, that picture is too beautiful, like a thesis defense, even more intense than the thesis defense, on the matter to discuss, in the view of the elder brother and sister, our idea there is a lack of consideration, a lot of information that we do not yet know, or put forward the proposal before practiced, but gave up ...... or Or that the concept we designed, is not a burden on everyone, and so on and so forth ......
The other group show is okay, because the questions raised, the department involved is very narrow, that is, Today University, so the other departments of the elder brothers and sisters, basically can not raise any questions.
But, in general, as Ergo reminded us, all that we felt this time was only at the proposal stage, and there will be more resistance when we actually have to implement a micro-innovation on the ground.
The next time, in the departmental internship stage, is to complete a micro-innovation with the elder sister. At that time, it is not the plan to submit, but the implementation of the results of the situation.
After the review, it was the part of the elder brothers and sisters to choose the management trainees. We finished our presentation and were invited in to wait. After that, then go out, and then COCO directly began to announce the alternative situation, Yanzi and Ah Yuan have two elder brothers and sisters to choose, so can be counter-elected, the other is a carrot. In the time before, Ya have talked to us, there is no want to go to the department, we said all expressed their own ideas, and not much overlap, each interested in different places. But the funny thing is, between the idea and the elder brother and sister selected the results, half agree, half let a person surprised.
For this result, before and after the COCO sister and the second brother communicated separately, my own ideas focus on the focus is completely did not take into account our wishes, directly be determined. But the second brother explained to me, he said, the next stage in the corporate sector, O is integrated into corporate life. And the work of the various departments of the company's life is the existence of barriers, not as easy as the work of the store so easy to get started, so, as opposed to the motivation regardless of where the high level of management students, it is more important to respect the wishes of the elder brother and sister this end, he is willing to take you, it becomes very important. If the elder sibling is willing to take you and select you, then he must be responsible for his choice and will certainly do his best in the department afterward. After thinking about it, indeed this is a very convincing argument.
And the so-called integration into the company life, more complex and wonderful than imagined, so far, to the company about a month time, obviously feel their own in the transformation, from the students into the community, transformed into a workplace people. As mentioned in the Korean drama "Unbirth", when you enter the workplace, you have to keep learning common sense. New industry, new company, new common sense. And then develop some habits: for example, take responsibility for things, whether it's your first time taking over or not, don't make excuses. For example, everything, there should be a clear lead. For example, when you send out a notice, you don't just send it out, you make sure the other party receives it and understands it. For example, when printing, you can use environmentally friendly paper with environmentally friendly paper, print EXCEL must be sure to determine the page number ...... And then, for example, the first time to have their own official salary, to support themselves, can no longer be generous, and learn to arrange their own income, after all, the next paycheck, is a month later. These things, big or small, are common sense that we have to learn.
August 9 and 10 Absolute Power + Mr. Zhu's POA lecture
The feeling of these two days is that both the body and the spirit have benefited a lot.
First, I spent a day and a half sweating at Absolute Strength with my brothers and sisters from the Imaing class. I have to say, this event was a great icebreaker and P-pulling arrangement. I didn't know my brothers and sisters very well the day before, but after a day and a half, I felt very close to them. Moreover, they were from different departments, so it was very reassuring to go back to work. Because of the older siblings, I felt a lot more at ease with the unfamiliar company environment. Of course, thanks to the design of the activities, team activities quite a lot, every team activity is reminded, try to team up with their own people who are not familiar with, so a lot of times, almost all familiar.
10th noon back to the company, report. Reporting object is Chun. At that time, it was horrified. Risking great pressure, began to awkward dance, really awkward dance, the day before at 10 o'clock to learn, the next day at 12 o'clock at noon to report on the performance. However, after the debriefing, Chun was still very forgiving and gave us the advice that for those of us who are new to the workplace, in the first year, we have to rely on seeing and believing in order to get ourselves into the new work atmosphere as soon as possible and to have some focus. This advice is quite good, practice it well.
In the afternoon, Mr. Zhu's POA course is about how to use POA thinking to conduct efficient meetings.
August 16th, the second brother to add food, teaching how to find O in the work
Iceberg model digging deep O, the work if the O digging is not deep enough, it may be A as O, the consequence is that the real O is farther and farther away.
Deep digging O, first digging reasons, the deepest and deepest reasons, transformed into the next work of the O.
August 23rd, the second brother to add meals, teaching how to pull P in the work
Pull P two artifacts: one, Yes And; two, we are a team.
The 100-day elimination program will soon be over, and the 1000-day cultivation program is about to pounce.
The O of the management training student is to be the one who can lead the army to war after 1000 days. We are like the seeds that are temporarily raised in the dream factory, not to exist here, but in another land, to open up the territory and shade the people.
Written in haste, but the love is not diminished, I hope that the road ahead, still have your company!
Small partners, thank you for having you!
