My birthday is today and i’m being taken out to manhattan!! Im CRAVING mediterranean type of food, buuuut im dying for cheese, sweet and salty, figs, peaches, strawberries, grapes! Stuff like that?? I’ve been looking at menus all night lol
i’m CRAVING a menu with fruity vibes, like peaches, pomegranate, feta, pistachios, apples, berries, stuff like that! Anything that incorporates sweet and salty into their menu! I’m tired of burgers and french fries lol
PLEASE give me advice. I’ve been working at this pizzeria for 5 years. It’s my favorite job. But it’s impossible to advance up and I don’t see my future here unless I buy it and make it my own business (i’m married into the family so it’s POSSIBLE but far, far away, i’m in college for business though)
Customers are really getting under my skin. It hurts to talk because of my braces, which makes me not want to talk at all, or talk very little. And they ask stupid questions that makes me wonder what planet they live on. I have to work night shift 5 days a week and it’s making me irritable as i’d rather be outside doing important stuff, at the beach, at the gym, or trying new hobbies, stuff like that. But i need money too/ except tips suck lately. We have a small dine in room and i rely more on to-go tips than anything. I make minimum wage (16.49? forgot how much), but it’s just not as much as I NEED. There’s no way for me to advance up and i’m so scared to find or start a new job that i’d stay here forever if I could, but it’s not realistic. I want to enjoy my life and live comfortably.
Please give me some motivation or tips on how to just go with the flow for customers. I’m just very irritable lately and making small talk and fake smiling is also very annoying. I’m getting tired of it :(
I take orders over the phone for a pizzeria. I love cashing people out, but the phone calls are really starting to irk me. I’ve been here for 5+ years, I’m extremely overstimulated and customers are genuinely getting on my nerves to the point where I’m being short with them and very impatient. It’s like they don’t know how to talk or the only purpose they’re calling is to waste time. I’m feeling angry towards them, it’s not like me. I’m also getting hot and sweaty during this summer, and working next to an oven is torture. I work 5 days a week 35 hours at 21. They don’t pay for overtime, they add my hours into the next week if i work extra. Tips suck on hot days so the summer will be really bad, basically a waste of my time when I could be out doing something else. I just don’t have motivation to work right now but I HAVE to, no one else will cover, unless it’s like 2 weeks notice and it really sucks. I need the money. I’m scared to start a new job. I just don’t know what to do. The people I work with are also starting to get on my nerves, which is very frustrating as I see them like family. My boss’s niece comes in and delivers, she gets free food, free soda, and gets to hang out on her phone and wait for orders to be ready. I have to pay for my food and if I have even a minute to stand and relax, I am told to clean the grout on the floor.
Is it a chemistry balance? Is it self control? Determination? Childhood habits?
Losing my passion. Don’t understand a single thing. I do really enjoy the study of consumer behavior, but the manipulation tactics and competing with other ideas is exhausting. I just turned 21 and feel like everyone my age has some kind of cool, niche job. Marketing position titles sound lame. Help me find my passion again.
Hi,
I began having an interest in marketing in highschool when we started learning about the target market and trying to understand the logic and emotional buying behind customers. I always had a passion for understanding the brain, the emotions, psych in general. Marketing was also an interest as it allows creativity, and I like to study how certain factors such as sound, colors, words, even smells can affect someone. I also love the idea of having a business being able to bring a community together, have a place for people to hang out, good music, good food, art work, and small creative events. I don’t know how realistic that is though. I also don’t know what kind of career I could find with this general degree besides a small office job, and I have such bad anxiety that sitting in an office with the same people every day would probably drive me crazy. I could definitely see myself being some type of researcher for a business, like tracking what customers click on, what customers purchase most, and WHY. Most importantly why is what makes me interested. What draws their attention? But i want my job to be for the greater good, I don’t want to market something unethical. (I guess thats my own choice and i have a say in that part for which business i work for lol)
Any ideas on how to get my foot in the door? What classes should I focus on? What type of psych-focused business jobs are there? Part of me doesn’t know what I actually want :(
I’m kinda illiterate for my major to be honest, I know everything about everything else but my major is pretty hard to me (business marketing), and i have to take a few finance and seminar classes in the future and i’m TERRIFIED for the group projects and presentations.
Please give me your best tips on how to overcome the fear. I feel like I’m 10 years old when I present, stuttering over my words, questioning if what I’m saying is true or not, if my research is good enough, if i’m talking weird, if i’m standing weird, etc. I always feel like everyone is judging me and that they have better work than me (most of the time it’s equally bad and good lol), been this way since like kindergarten. I even hated show & tell, I always felt so embarrassed for just existing. help lol
