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.

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

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
