sorry that i didn't update my blog for quite a couple of time
because i was working together with my friends at Matta Fair from 3rd to 5th September
then the next day is my school day
quite busy
now let's talk about my experience while working at Matta Fair
Friday
was the least people visited among the 3 days fair
thus our work is quite free and easy
all the customers were just searching for information and seeking for the lowest price among all the companies
seldom will they make payment on the first
we can said that we were eating
'egg' on friday! how poorly we were..
approximately per 'gang' of customers/ customer asking details for around half an hour
imagine there were hundreds or thousands booths of companies exhibited in the halls of 3 at PWTC
they needed how much time to visit all?
for sure one day was not enough for those who wanted to looks through all the booths
Saturday & Sunday
was slightly more people then the day before
from what senior in-house staff said, Matta Fair this year was not as flood of people as last few years
perhaps economic crisis caused this phenomena?
when people wanted to make a payment, they probably would have called the seniors...
it's human's instinct right? avoiding in we, the
junior part timer make an mistake on their bills
but this made us lost the commission :'(
so.. money is difficult to get!
although how hard we work on it
>>>
this was Lucies explaining hard to foreigner customers
english, mandarin, and cantonese are used when communicated to customers
we even communicated in a special mute way for the very first time
we were pointing here to there and a 'ok' pose to a deaf-mute customer
it's quite fun and the only once we didn't have to explain to customer with a speak of sound!
we have met different kinds of people in the fair..
some were polite while asking for certain information,
some were rude because they just wanna talk more than explanation from us,
some were kept asking for free gifts but at the end still didn't make up a bill,
some were troublesome,
and some were funny too, in the way they spoke or acted
a funny moment with one of the customer:
after the explanation of the trip promoted,
he then kept talking something else other than the trip to us,
he was telling us not to take travel agency as a permanent job and try to be a tv host..
oh my..
later, he looked at me and said I will be famous if I do so.. because I'm even prettier than some of the tv host and actress.. can be more famous than one of the hongkong hot star, "容XX" &"钟嘉X" and asked me why not have a try?
oh my.. AGAIN
hope that her fans won't kill me ><
and he also told us about how famous about the
孔雀手 "peacock hand"? he was saying a name who act this "peacock hand" very well again and again but the problem was we really don't know who was the person he mentioned!
the above conversation have taken us very much of time before we backed home!
SWEAT!! talking to him was like dropping sweat on my face!
but.. what to do? he was still a customer..
On the last day of work after the fair,
we kept going around to take pictures ^^
funniest moment along the fair
3 of us in front of the working booth ^^
