My First Job
I was hired by small contract company called Gateway Airport Service as a Customer Service at one of the busiest airport in the states. My first day on the way to work I was getting very intense. I started to get nervous about what I would be doing and whom I would be working with. I haven’t had any previous job experiences whatsoever. The closer I get to the work the more fearful I was. Once I pulled into the employee parking lot I was kind of shaking, I remain seated and took a deep breath. I thought about it but there is no way I can go back home. I just needed a little extra push so I was encouraging myself, “Come on you can do it, come on you can do it,” I cheered myself on. I walked in the office and the managers and supervisors were very welcoming and so excited to see me.
The manager walked me out, he landed his right hand over my …show more content…

A blind person came off; I asked him if he needed a wheelchair. He said he is totally fine and that he just needs someone to guide him to his next flight. I gave him one of my hands and he hold on to me following me from behind. I helped him reach his connecting flight and he then continue his next part of his journey. I literally felt so grateful for what I have. That’s when I realized I was actually doing something in my life. It was my passion helping those kinds of people by putting smile on their faces.
Lastly, as a customer service in one of the busiest places I have learned so many things, it turned out to be a great outcome and lovely atmosphere. Customer service entails much patience, and listening skills with each different person that approaches me every day. Staying up to date with each customer involves multitasking and building a wonderful relationship while understanding their needs. Recently, I have noticed my job has become a way for me to enhance my techniques to starting my profession confidently and

    During the summer or even on weekends my mom would take me with her to go help out her patients. Which included bathing them, feeding them, and caring for them. Not only did I help my mom with her patients but I would always help rake leaves, pick up trash and make their yard look nice. I can’t even image how they would’ve done all the things I did for them with their fragile bodies. I’m glad I was there for them and made a difference. Aside from helping my mom’s patients. I helped an elderly man who was on fire in his backyard. It was around spring time and I heard someone screaming yelling “help” so I went around to look and there he was on fire. I tried so hard to put out the fire and it felt like mission impossible but I did not give up even though the ambulance were on the way. He was burnt pretty bad, but I was so glad I found him. Who knows it could’ve been worse! He is still alive till this day and sits on his porch waiting for me to pass by his house every morning to say good morning. It’s such a wonderful feeling to know that I not only changed a life but I saved

    I have experience working at Target as well as daycare centers and summer camps. These are places where customer service is very important to making the customer's experience enjoyable. At Target, I was a cashier, a position that require the most customer interaction. I enjoyed working at the cash register because it allowed me to interact with different people from different backgrounds. Usually, cashiers are required to worry about speed; however, I wanted to engage in conversation with the customers. I often asked, " how was your experience?" or " Did you find everything ok?" Many times customers would reply " it was great, but I was looking for... and could't find it." Cashiers weren't required to know where products were located but because

    While I had worked customer service jobs before, nothing compared to the communication with customers in this job. As shown in the last example, our customers can be very pretentious at times. In the three months I have been working for Starbucks, I have met more difficult customers than I have in my entire time working customer service. I have met customers who have treated me poorly because I was a confused, new employee and I have met customers who have treated me poorly because they felt inclined to more authority than me. While I have to deal with many awful customers, the enjoyable customers that I get to meet and interact with make this job completely worth the aggravation.

    The day came, when we were leaving to drive all of the way to California for a mission trip. I was excited to get a new experience serving the homeless, but was a little nervous. The first couple of days we served food to the homeless at a homeless shelter. It was very humbling to see how grateful they were for the meal they were provided. In the evening we got the opportunity to hand out sack lunches on the street. I gave my lunch to a young homeless lady. The attitude of the lady surprised me so much, I was able to have a spiritual conversation with her for over an hour. It was truly amazing to see that someone who has nothing in life is so humble and can still believe in God.

    Moving from a highly diverse community to a less diverse community has to be the weirdest yet interesting culture shock I ever had to deal with. As a young child, I did not know about the outside world. I thought everyone rides the bus or the metro, graffiti on the wall is normal and traffic wouldn’t matter as much since everything I needed was within walking distance sometimes. There were shocking things I learned once I moved to Nebraska.

    When I was young, I wasn’t exactly excited about getting a job. Sure, it would be a good way to meet some new people and learn about how the real world worked, but in the end, it was mostly about having some extra money.

I applied to a few of jobs, and when I finally got the email telling me that I had an interview, a little nervous.

  • Customer Service At The Restaurant Business

    1798 Words  | 4 Pages

    Customer service by definition is the ability of knowledgeable, capable, and enthusiastic employees to deliver products and services to their internal and external customers in a manner that satisfies identified and unidentified needs and ultimately results in positive word-of-mouth publicity and return business (Lucas, 2012, pg.7). In other words, it’s making the customer pleased so that they keep doing business with you all while making sure that the employees get along and work together well. In every business there is a form of customer service. Unfortunately, it is not always excellent or even decent. Some businesses just either don’t care or possibly just don’t have the training to deal with some of the obstacles that come with dealing with customers on a daily basis. I’ve been in the restaurant business for over 13 years and I can tell you that there are skills that some are born with and others need training on, yet either way they should be used whenever interacting with customers.

    I also had the privilege of helping with the Meals on Wheels non profit organization. My grandfather used to be a Meals on Wheels recipient and he would share with me how he enjoyed looking forward to their company and a hot meal daily. I volunteered because I wanted to give back and help someone else’s loved one in the same way. It was very rewarding delivering hot meals to people who didn’t have the means of getting one as well as being there for them to talk to. Overall, it was a very humbling experience, it made me realize just how blessed I am and how much I take for granted daily.
