A LITTLE BIT ABOUT...

ME

CENTENNIAL COLLEGE

After graduating from high school I didn’t know I wanted to do in the form of post secondary education. I decided to go to Centennial College and become successful. The most challenging part of being at Centennial was choosing a program and sticking with it. I started with a marketing program. I then switched to a human resources program. By deciding to switch programs I was able to achieve higher marks than the marketing program and it was also more enjoyable for me as well.

TASSIMO

I was employed with a company called Match Market tasked with creating brand recognition for the Tassimo hot beverage maker. I would go to several different stores demoing the machine. The most challenging part of my job was to create value to the Tassimo. I rectified this informing potential customers of the different capabilities of the Tassimo. For example the fact that it can make more than 8 different drinks, versus other machines and their limited drink selection making. The outcome from this was that I was able to become an great ambassador of the Tassimo and I was able to get a bonus due to the fact of store sales.

FUTURE SHOP

During my employment at Future Shop the main goal was to become and stay one of the best sales people in a competitive work environment. A road block I had in my way was that I was only working part time. I had to work with the hours that I got and maximize my time on my shifts. I would show up early for work and reduce my breaks. I ended up being the top sales part time worker in my department and amongst the full time I ranked second. I learned great time management skills from Future Shop.

NEW YORK CITY

I have made many trips to New York City. Taking in the atmosphere there is amazing. Its dubbed as the city that never sleeps. New York City is one of the largest and most recognizable cities in the world. There are many different industries there that can really jump start your career. I would love to work in New York City. However my main issue is that I want to work in New York City. Its slightly difficult for me because I don’t have a green card and I’m not legally able to work there. A benefit that I have is that my dad lives there and he has started my paperwork to get me started to work there. The issue that I am having with this is that this is a slightly long process. Things are still in motion right now, so there is no real resolution but I’m confident that I will one day work in New York City.
