1. What is the name of your profession (position)? Sales assistant in a video store. 2. What is your job and what are your responsibilities? My responsibilities include communicating with clients, as well as constantly updating my knowledge about new films, since the assortment in the video salon is rich, more than a thousand films, and I must be aware of new videos! 3. What education is required to get your position? To work in such a position, you need exclusively self-education, that is, you yourself watch a bunch of films every day in order to know what you can recommend to clients and what they will not be interested in, or it will be interesting only to a certain circle of people, so to speak, to an “amateur”. ”, so you need to know a little bit of everything and the psychology of different people. 4. Describe your working day. My working day begins in the afternoon and continues until the last client in the evening, although we still close until eight in the evening. 5. How comfortable are your working conditions (all day outside, or in the office with a cup of coffee)? I work in an air-conditioned room, of course, this is done so that customers feel comfortable in the video salon, at any time of the year, in any weather, that is, air conditioners blow cool in summer, and they radiate heat in winter, but all employees too dry and comfortable. 6. What do you like most about your job? I like that I work in the afternoon, that is, I have the opportunity to attend classes at the institute in the morning, as I am a student, and I also like to communicate with people about cinema! 7. What do you dislike most about your job? I don’t like it when buyers ask them to choose a film “to my taste”, and they stubbornly do not say what tastes they have, continuing to say that they “trust my taste”, if I see a person for the first time in my life, then in five minutes a lot about his tastes you won’t understand, and there were cases when they came for shopping, but they said that the last time I “to my taste” advised what they didn’t like and from a purely psychological point of view I understand what was going on, but of course, all this is not can be a “claim”, because there is no dispute about tastes and therefore I always try to “dodge” in such “help of choice” for “my taste”, which they obviously trust, but if they strongly insist that the choice be made for them, what can I to do, because otherwise they may not buy anything at all! 8. If it's not a secret, what is your salary level (is it enough to write whether you are satisfied or not)? The salary suits me insofar as I am a student and this is a good supplement to the scholarship, and there are not so many buyers during the day, and if I don’t watch films, then I read what I need to study at the university, so time is not wasted and brings money, but it’s necessary just to talk to people about cinema 9. Describe your team, what kind of people work with you? Outgoing boys and girls work with me, half of them are also students, and one of them studies with me at the same university, it was he who got me this job, therefore, we can say with confidence that our team is friendlyouch! 10. What human qualities do you think are most important in your business? In addition to communication skills, knowledge of film classics is very important, you need to more or less navigate the biographies of directors and actors - who, when, what he filmed, where he starred and with what success, patience is needed, since overly “curious” buyers often come across and all of them need to respond to all questions and always benevolent, that is, do not enter into disputes about tastes and the like! 11. Work gives me additional opportunities. In general, the experience gained at such a job also helps me in writing reviews of films that I publish for little money, and I also watch different films right at work that I probably would never have seen just like that. 12. Do you have the opportunity to evaluate your work on a five-point scale, what grade would you give? As for a student, work for 5 points, but not only students work for us, there are girls who do not study anywhere, and this work is the only source of income, in this case, more than “4” will not pull - a colleague just asked 13. Why did you choose this job? I had to earn extra money while continuing to study, at the same time, at the full-time department of the institute, and this work fit the schedule of the working day and the specifics were just for me. 14. What do you think we did not include in the plan and what else would you like to share with us? It seems to me that it would be possible to include a question about leisure after work in the questionnaire, especially if it could be related to work, directly or indirectly. 0
