In today's society, the employment pressure is increasing. If our college students want to find a good job corresponding to their major in the future, they must constantly expand their cognitive fields and improve their abilities.
As college students majoring in English, the major itself requires us not only to have a solid English foundation, but also to have strong communication skills. This requires our college students to constantly enhance their social practice ability and improve their communication ability. But at present, most English majors can have good English learning ability and a solid English foundation. As far as our class is concerned, about 70% of the students can get good grades, and only one or two students in the class fail, or even sometimes not. Personally, the foundation of English learning in our class is good. However, in the process of learning, I also found that once students encounter activities such as English corner or English exchange, they will become very insecure and stumble. Speaking English is naturally not as fluent as usual, which is also my problem-poor communication skills. Personally, I am an introverted girl, so I don't like to say that I am usually silent in the English corner and always stand by and listen. I also understand that this is unacceptable. In fact, I think my English is not bad, but I can't speak, and sometimes I am depressed and tangled. I think this should also be the result of my lack of confidence and even inferiority. But I know very well that English learning is mainly about speaking, not writing, because it is a language after all and is used to communicate with people, so I am determined to speak.
This summer vacation is also an accidental opportunity. Through the introduction of my family, I became a temporary salesman of Fulinmen's new DHA grain blending oil. This may not help my English. After all, I speak Chinese when selling explanations to others, but I think it can exercise my courage and make me dare to say that it should be good for improving my communication skills. And through this part-time job, I also have some insights into life. The day before work, I was quite excited. I thought I was going to start an independent life, and I would get a salary, which is incredible, but the reality is often not the case. In the first week, I was arranged in Wu Shang, Jingzhou. On my first day at work, I was splashed with cold water. I used to sell oil, but I ended up as a porter. I was told that gift oil and promotional booths should be brought into the store first. Before that, I have to ask the manager, security guard, cashier and others to sign the distribution sheet and property management sheet. Besides running around and the phone bill, I was ridiculed by others and even ignored you, which made me very depressed. Finally, I entered the gift oil and promotion booth, only to find that it had been a morning. In the afternoon and evening, I don't know if I was too tired or in a bad mood, and I didn't sell a barrel of oil. My feet hurt after standing all day, and my business didn't open. It was really hard at the time. Fortunately, the next day went well. As soon as I went in the morning, four aunts bought four barrels of oil under my detailed explanation and promotion, and one aunt praised me again and again and thanked me. I was very happy at that time. I felt that my feet didn't hurt so much and my mood was much easier. This also made me realize that paying is rewarding, as long as you work hard. The next week, I was transferred to the Wal-Mart store in Shashi, where the work was easier than that of the contractor, because it was designated as the flagship store, with nutritionists to help me, and a quantum weak magnetic field vibration analyzer, which could detect human health and help me better promote Fulinmen new oil. With our impeccable cooperation, we sold 30 barrels of oil in two days. During this period, I introduced my customers in detail and accurately, always smiling and patient, and was praised by the supervisor and long-term promoters, which also increased my confidence. At the same time, I also found that with the increase of promotion days, I can more easily grasp the customer's ideas, find a breakthrough according to these, and sell our oil reasonably. According to this strategy, our sales in the third week were also good, selling more than 20 barrels. By the fourth week, things had changed. Our nutritionist stopped working because of the change of working hours, and so did our long-term promoters at Wal-Mart. As a result, due to the lack of two generals, our sales volume plummeted this week, and we only sold 9 barrels of oil in two days. I, a temporary promoter, was criticized for this, and the head of Wal-Mart's grain and oil cabinet also informed me that if the sales volume next week is not as good as last week, we will not be allowed to carry out promotional activities. Hearing this, coupled with bad business and painful feet, I have a feeling of resignation. On Sunday, the project manager and several supervisors of our company in Fu Lin made a thorough inspection of our temporary promoters. On the one hand, they checked whether our temporary promoters met the requirements, on the other hand, they also conducted market research and asked us to have a meeting and exchange in the grain and oil market on Monday afternoon. We didn't know that everyone had encountered some problems until we arrived, and then we discussed and exchanged views on these issues. Later, I learned that some colleagues didn't want to do it. We told the manager together, only to find that our supervisor quit for some reason. At that time, all our temporary promoters decided not to do it and asked about our salary. The manager not only refused to explain, but also put all the responsibilities on our supervisor, with a sarcastic tone. We were all together, and you just said a word. Interestingly, we also thought of seeking the power of the media. Later, things got worse and worse, and our supervisor came at once, and the matter was slowly solved through mediation. Of course, none of our colleagues in sales promotion have done it, which still makes me very moved, because we are advancing and retreating together. Our colleagues in this promotion are actually college students, some are even two years younger than me, and one colleague just graduated from high school. Everyone comes out to find a part-time job on their own, on the one hand, to reduce the burden at home, on the other hand, to exercise themselves. Everyone has worked hard, which shows that we, the only children and the flowers in the greenhouse in other people's mouths, can still shoulder the responsibility of one side. It is said that the post-90s generation is a beat generation, but I don't think so. As long as we work hard, we can still have our own vast world. In fact, I think there is a lot of pressure to promote oil sales. I sometimes feel very uncomfortable, and this feeling is even stronger than when I was preparing for the Grade Four exam. As a temporary promoter, I still want to do this job well and sell as much oil as possible, but sometimes business is like this, and there is nothing I can do. This also made me understand that every job needs to bear a burden and bear certain responsibilities. Nothing for nothing.
What impressed me the most this time is that it is not easy to make money. Although the daily salary is 50 yuan, there will be 600 yuan in 12 days. Although I don't have much money, I can always buy what I like, which is quite satisfactory, but I haven't considered the hardships. In retrospect, I feel terrible. I have to work 9 hours a day, which means I have to stand 9 hours a day. My feet are terrible, and I have to drag my feet back from work. Sometimes my legs get swollen at night. These are all tolerable for the body. The most uncomfortable thing is the cynicism of some customers, who don't even buy oil or listen to my sales promotion, and some even sneer at you or ignore you. It can be seen that 50 yuan is not so easy to earn. When I came home and saw my mother, I suddenly understood what she told me.
As a child who grew up in a single-parent family, I should have realized the hardships and difficulties of life, but whenever I heard my mother talk about her anger at work, I just vented my anger and expressed my sympathy, but I didn't have a deep understanding. Through this part-time job, I can also experience the taste for myself. Although there is so much money in a day, it will hurt both physically and mentally, and that feeling is still very uncomfortable. And my mother, a green worker, not only has to be a coolie pulling flowers and plants, but also works in the scorching sun on a hot day, and her body often peels off. I didn't know anything before, but now I know that life is not easy. Therefore, I think college students should be more considerate of their parents, use money rationally, and spend it in a planned and controlled way.
Some people may think it is easy to sell, so they don't respect the promoters in the supermarket. I used to be like this. I never listen to the promoters' explanations, nor will I buy the goods they promote. Actually, it won't take me too long to think about it now. I should respect them more. Furthermore, promotion is not as easy as we thought, and it also requires some skills. For different customers, you should come up with different promotion skills, so as to attract customers to buy the goods you sell.
Personally, this promotion is not very successful, but through this part-time experience, I have also gained a lot and grown a lot. Maybe this opportunity only comes once in a lifetime. However, I still want to do what I like and am interested in in in the future, so as to mobilize my greatest enthusiasm and potential and do things well in the long run.
Make some changes yourself.
