An E-commerce Opportunity

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

13

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
