An E-commerce Opportunity

My work experience at a Health and Beauty e-commerce company.

8

I have been working from an e-commerce company for over two years. I remember the day I went in for the interview, it was a rainy day and I got lost with no umbrella. I wanted to reschedule because I looked terrible and wanted to make a good impression. The supervisor just assured me it was OK and to just come in for the interview. Then the supervisor, along with one of the partners, interviewed me in a small area of what was then the inventory room. They both asked questions and we had a conversation, I felt confident because I knew the products at hand and customer service very well. The supervisor gave me a brief tour of the warehouse, customer service office and inventory section. He then said he would let me know if I got hired and that he would give me a call. That is the worst feeling when leaving an interview; the uncertainty of not knowing if you did well. I didn't know what to expect.

A couple of days later, I received a call from the supervisor offering me the job and I was so excited! I had experience working in retail, e-commerce, customer service, import/export, international sales and a lot more, so I was ecstatic to apply these skills to my new job. It was a small office with only a handful of customer service reps but I felt comfortable and at home. I learned very quickly how to process returns, answer emails, chats, phone calls and make sales.

Within a year, the company moved to another location locally as they were growing at a rapid pace. Soon after, I noticed that the sales department was growing and I was intrigued by it. I shared my previous experience with the supervisor of that department and a few months later I was offered that position. Within a month, we grew so much that we needed a junior sales rep to assist us. After two months of having her on board, we needed another packer to assist us with the shipments and logistics. We now have three of us in the sales department and three packers assisting with the larger orders of the company.

Pharmapacks has only been in business for 6 years but they have grown to be a multi-billion dollar company. They use platforms like Amazon, Walmart, Jet, Overstock and many more to reach thousands of people across the country. They are constantly searching for new suppliers in order to offer the customers the best deals possible. By keeping low margins and negotiating prices, they are able to maintain the lowest prices.

For the best deals in your favorite go to brands you may go to www.pharmapacks.com.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
