Morning everyone! It is 07.26 in Newcastle at the minute and the sun is just starting to come up, this week is said to be the calm before the storm of the winter weather which is still yet to come - eek! Before I get ready for work I thought I'd give you all a quick run down on how the new job is going and what I have been up to.
I started my first shift last Tuesday, my nerves got the better of me walking to work and I had a slight panic/anxiety miss hap, I wouldn't call it a full blown panic attack but I had to sit down for a few minutes to catch my breath as I had lost all ability to breath for some strange reason, it was kind of the same situation I got in the summer at Borough Market when I was meeting my mum and Anna. Anyway I gathered myself together and off I went, I was a bit early (extremely impressive for me) so went outside for a bit to chill for a bit. Once I got in I seen two girls I was familiar with which was nice, one of the girl's Nicole was at the Recruitment day which was cool to see another face that had got the job! Things kind of went smoothly from then, I basically did what I had been taught at my interview - I traffic stopped for a bit to get some appointments in the book for Benefit makeovers (we are to aim for 17 each a day) and then reorganised the stall a bit, getting myself familiar with all the products. That Tuesday was ridiculously slow and quiet which I was kind of grateful for because I was able to ask as many questions as I liked, and I always seem to have a lot of questions to ask haha. I hadn't been given my till number yet so I wasn't able to do any transactions through the till but I was told that would be sorted by Thursday because there was a massive Boots point card event on which the girls kept warning me would be mental, when Thursday came I was prepared even though slightly hungover and managed the busy day really well - I was praised for making good sales and was even left by myself for a while.
Working at Benefit seems to come quite naturally to me, it involves a mixture of what I previously have work experience in from working at the markets to having knowledge on all things makeup! It's pretty great to be completely honest, I have to try and persuade people to let me do their makeup and I have full range of Benefit products to play around with - pretty amazing :)
Benefit is sending me off to Glasgow on Thursday for training, which should be exiting - all inclusive obviously! Hopefully learn some more tips and tricks for getting my sales up, as I've started to gather now that Benefit is very much into meeting sales targets..
That's all really, apart from that life is treating me well - flights are booked home to Belfast for the 17th which can not come quick enough and I'm keeping on top of my UCAS application to apply for Uni next year.
Hope you's are well also, I'll be posting a few videos this week on my YouTube so keep a look out!
