During my intership, i worked at MADO in Sainte-Marie. MADO is a company that sell parfumes, make-up and skincares products.
My working hours
My intership lasted 4 weeks. Everyday, i started at 10a.m. and finished at 6a.m. exept for mondays when i started at 12p.m. and finished at 6:30p.m. and saturdays when i started at 10a.m. and finished at 6:30p.m. and finally, my day off it was tuesdays. And for lunch, i had one hour break between noon and 1p.m. .
Working conditions
• I worked in a store where it was very hot but clean, it was noisy because there was music and the sound of customers in the store but it was a modern store.
• Over there, there weren’t facilities to have a break so we had to find a place outside the company.
• I wasn’t paid.
• Everyday, i had to wear professional black clothing and covering shoes.
Work
Here’s one of the products I sold most often during the holiday season. Over there i did a lot of tasks like:
- Welcoming customers
- Asking if they need help
- Advising them
- Selling the products
In terms of organization:
- I cleaned the shelves
- Put the products back on the shelves
- Opened the cartons and then threw them away
I also used my phone to take some pictures of products that i sold.
The people were..
• The people who i worked with were distant, they didn’t really train me, so i had to do it myself but i worked on a team.
• I only had a colleague who sometimes helped me find a few products and gave me advice.
• In this company, i felt isolated and intimidated.
