An E-commerce Opportunity

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

18

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
