Hello everyone
I'm new here
Last year was a bit rough with me there was a lot of things I needed to achieve on my to-do list but lacked the resource to get it done since I was becoming of age there were certain things I couldn't rely on my parents to get for me so I needed to take up certain responsibilities.
So we had just concluded the semester and we were given a two month break to relax ourselves but I didn't see the need to o relax when I had a lot bothering me. It has always been my desire to work part time but I couldn't quite get my hands on one. I couldn't continue looking for part-time jobs so I shifted my focus to working as a full time in any establishment for a month or two. Still feeling disturbed that I hadn't still found a job for myself and I had already exhausted the first month of my break. I charged up, intensifying my search for a job. I began to ask my friends, I went around different street to see what I could get.
In church a friend of mine suggested that I checked NEPA line street that I may be opportuned to find a job there. Telling me of how she got a job to work in one of the shops there. She also gave me a range of the amount paid to all newly hired salespersons.The week had just began and I was set to go check out nepa line street myself to see if I could find a place to work. I told my parents of my plan and they supported it. So after everyone had gone out to work, I freshened up, preparing to go to nepa line. When I got there I didn't know where to start looking from at first so I walked a bit in to the street then from one shop to another I began to make enquiries. Exhausted I thought of coming back the next to continue my search. On my way back home my attention was drawn to a furniture shop by one of the people I met during my search. Infront of the shop was a signboard which read salesperson wanted.
At last my search was all over I said to myself thanking the man that brought my attention to it. So my soon to be boss was standing majestically with his wife just as if they were expecting me already sure that was a good sign for me. When I got to them I greeted them both and stated to them my reason of coming. After hearing what I had to say he turned to his wife speaking in his native language then turned back to me and asked that I come back with my application letter and with an adult that could testify for me his reasons being that his last salesperson dis something disheartening to him. His business phone was stolen by him a md after several investigation and persuasion he confessed but when the phone was recovered he had flashed the phone already causing all my boss's contact to be deleted. He also asked for my location because telling me the time works start and then new and mentioned the amount that I was going to be paid for the start and this rhymed with what my friend in church had told me and so after that was being said I went back home feeling satisfied.
So the next day I returned with my father and with my application letter. Surprised to see me the next day the manager welcomed us with a seat. After some discussion with my dad I was given the job to begin immediately thank good ness I came early but since I had just resumed I was given a week to look at how things were done. That same day about two different people came in at different times in search of the job lucky me, I said to myself. My boss told me how lucky I was telling me how he refused other people that came in after I came by yesterday. His establishment was big. He had two shops one was across the road. In the shop were I was he sold office chairs, office tables, sofa, wall clocks, banquet chairs, sinning tables, gaming chairs and lots more on the other shop he sold synthetic flowers, portrait and mirror. It was big time. The first week was over and t was okay. I knew that the next week was going to take a different shape and that I needed to seat up. So a new week had just began and I was around on time to open the shop . Still not conversant with the arrangement, my boss helped me out telling me that I shouldn't rush it that soon I'd get it. I only worked there for two weeks and I was already feeling it. I had intentions of working for two month there but with the work load I cahnwd my mind. Seriously speaking I wasn't built for heavy duty but because I needed some money I had to cope. The warehous was Abit far from the shop so when goods finished in the shop wed have to go there and get more . Believe me it was stressful.
The demands became even higher as I entered the 3rd week with me already discussing my resignation with my parents. Don't get me wrong the man and his wife were both wonderful people. They would prepare me a meal to take in the afternoon tell me who does that and this is what they had been doing to their previous employees who were there before me. In my stay there I got to meet with new people. People who were working as salesperson too in the shop besides ours. One of them was a student like me but from another institution where I stayed while the other had just concluded his secondary school. The second one had been there for over three monh and was going to enter his fourth the next month while the first was just there for just a month . The told me of how they longest person row ork with my boss lasted for only three months and how the previous guy left on his own after doing what he did. I didn't expect the work load to be this great. Handling two shops at once I began to feel some pains reoccurring in the leg I had fractured. It was always stressful whenever rain fell because I'd have to be moving items in and out of the rain to avoid them getting damaged with only me as the salesperson I began to breakdown. I had only Sundays to be relaxing and I took advantage of it very well.
So we had entered the last week and I and my parents had already brought up an excuse that would make me leave work and so my dad came later on in the day to discuss it with them and he agreed to it . Thisade me happy. I had already discussed it with my friends in the other shop besides ours soa when my dad came by they asked if it was about what I discussed with them and I said yes. The month had come to a close and it was my last day at work and so throughout that day my mind was vloudede with how I was going to receive my first paycheck and ao I didn't put my mind I to how stressful the work was. So at the close of work I was given my salary and I bid farewell to my oga, madam and children who were also a pain in the neck.
So that's how it all went down.
So I was able to gather a few things with the money before school commenced again
