Long story short, I had a temp job few months ago at a pet boutique. Even though I enjoyed it, it was only for 6-8 weeks during holidays. The owner recently got in touch with me and asked me if I would be interested in becoming a manager (the current one wasn't working out due to several issues). Since I've been looking for a full time job the last few months, I of course agreed and I started last week.
Even though I'm kind of anti-social at times (social anxiety), I absolutely love working in this environment. It gives me an opportunity to educate pet owners and make significant difference in the lives of their pets. I can probably talk about nutrition for hours given the chance, so this is a great outlet for that.
I love being able to browse hundreds of pet products and select the best ones for the store. I've also given the owner several suggestions on what to do in regard to bringing it more profit and he thinks my ideas are the greatest.
It's also nice to get pet stuff for myself at wholesale prices and some freebies time to time ;)
The owner ordered these barky barks (esophagus) but didnt realize how bad they smelled (kinda resemble road kill) because they came from grass fed animals, so I got a box of 90 treats for free. The pups are in heaven since they think the smellier the better when it comes to food.
Anyways, I'm very excited about the job, hopefully it would be a great way for me to help others while making friends and building connections in the process :)
That is so awesome!
