working at the art museum's bookstore was a good first start for me in the art industry. Of course, I didn't make the art, but it helped me discover many different artists and it will definitely help me in the future. the place was calm and easy going and I made many friends during that time. The harder part was mostly the difficult customers, but it didn't happen a lot, as well as having to review jewelries, which was my only weakness. There were numerous rushes, but I got used to them after a while.
Points positifs
lunch were cheaper, a good start in the art industry
I would arrive at work every morning 15 minutes before I would start to greet and say "Good morning" to all the staff that walked in. The staff was sociable and caring - everyone got along, it was great! So happy to be a part of that team! I have learned so much about what people do for a living, created great relationships with my co-workers, learned that this is what I really like to do. I like to help my co-workers and support them and make things happen! This means meeting deadlines even when thinking the impossible - I would make it possible. My staff loved me, I could feel it. They really did appreciate the work I did which was great. I felt worthy. The hardest part of the job was multi-tasking so much for so many people at once, but whatever it was I would make it happen and never disappointed my coworkers - I only surprised them and even myself which is why I can now say I really can multi-task. I would use my Outlook daily to plan my time very well. I was very specific for my work and timing. I totally enjoyed this work place and it will remain unforgettable.
