HEY I hope you dont mind, how would you recommend building your resume to work in bookstores or pet stores? I'm trying to crawl my way out of the kitchen industry

Hey Friend! love the icon!

I don't know how much I can say towards "building a resume" as pretty much both of those jobs I got/was good at due to luck and being charming but I can give you some advice on what to expect/how to maybe give yourself a little better leg up on selling yourself during an interview!

(Note: these are my personal experiences working in 1) a small chain pet supply store in rural new jersey usa and 2) a midsize second hand bookstore chain in suburban midwestern usa so depending on where you are/company you're looking at ymmv) (also this got a little long so I'm gunna put it under a cut but tl;dr both jobs are retail jobs and while can be a ton of fun can still make you feel dead inside but maybe a little less than a kitchen job?)

For pet supply a lot of people think it's just going to be ✨working with dogs✨ and like, yeah ok you'll meet a lot of dogs but having people skills is super important cause like. Your potential boss wants you to sell shit and the individual with the money is on the other end of the leash. So eye contact and an easy smile when their dog pees all over your shoes is a plus. Also, like, half the dogs you meet will be Not As Well Trained As You Wish and will possibly steal/destroy your product while in the store. And then pee all over your floor and possibly other unfortunate bodily fluids/functions. That you will be responsible for cleaning up 8/10. If you live/work in an area like I did where people have obscene amounts of money the patience to listen to them jabber on about things to land a $500+ sale is great because then they'll come back and SOMETIMES tip you 50 bucks for being "such a great help". Also being able to lift over 40lbs is crucial. That job paid me absolute dirt money - especially for living on the EC - but I didn't need a gym membership and easily gained at least 10lbs of muscle due to hauling dog food everywhere around the store - large bags at my store came in either 25 or 30 pound bags and often people would need help carrying it out to their cars. Truck days would be just endless moving of product while helping customers at the same time so it's a whole workout on the job. Having experience with pets is a HUGE plus as you can imagine and not just dogs. My store was more likely to hire people that currently had pets or had owned pets for a long time in their life but weren't - and this is critical - weirdly prejudiced about other kind of pets. Like if you don't like cats or think snakes are gross, don't say that or at least don't in the interview and preferably not in the first few weeks of working there (and definitely not to customers)!

Bookstore again, people skills. And people of all ages. Kids especially. Kids read and like bookstores because there's books and toys and sometimes stickers! So there will be kids you will have to be nice to. Also the people who just want to loiter because it's a bookstore and they'll grab ten off the shelf just to sit in the aisle for three hours specifically where you need to go (most bookstores have chairs for this exact reason. Please be nice to your local bookseller and sit in a chair to read. It means they won't accidentally hit you with a book/cart/trip over you if they don't see you). Bookstores are kinda just libraries so hang around your library and people watch and then you'll get an idea of the kind of people you can expect to react. Also again being able to lift a decent amount of weight is good. My store bought back from the public and often had to help people take boxes out of their cars and I dunno the last time you lifted boxes full of books but they can get heavy. Plus your inventory will most likely come in boxes so unpacking and moving those will be easier if you already have some good strength.

Mostly though, the thing to remember about both of these jobs is that they're retail. You're dealing with the public and a very specific sort of public that are into animals and into books so they might be a tad more interesting than your every day retail shopper so having an upbeat attitude always helps. Patience is Definitely a Virtue because you will find people can't read or ask you questions like 'hey do you sell dog food here?' while standing in front of giant shelves of nothing but dog food. Advertising yourself as a people person or at the very least Good With People and a Problem Solver during your interview will help a TON in my experience. My line for both interviews that I will give you is "when asked a question I don't know I always like to say 'you know that's a great question! I don't know off the top of my head but let's go find out together/someone who does!" Managers eat that shit up.

Hope at least some of this is helpful and I hope you have success getting into a new industry :D

#xiulric #Ask a Rocket #oofa that ended up being rather long I'M SORRY #but yeah uh patience being good with people and having a strong stomach #I found teeth in a public buy once at the bookstore and boy was that a day I will not soon forget #also I just remembered the bookstore job had like a little questionare on the application #and on the 'why do you want to work here' I put that I was an english major/bibliophile and I think that probably helped

OH MY GOD YOU READ VANITAS NO CARTE AND pANDORA HEARTS... it makes me so sad that this series isnt too weII known but mochijun fans have Good Taste. Whos your fave character? :U whatre ur thoughts on the series omg

YES i’ve been into pandora hearts since late elementary / early middle school so u can imagine how fast i lost my mind when vnc was announced.. i kinda prefer it this way tho bc the fanbase is quiet.. comfortable..

my favorite in ph is jack vessalius and vanitas, in vnc!!! i have the Worst Possible Taste these two are slimy bastards and ill love them all the same..

i think the series itself is really complex plot wise but its heaviness isnt really written in a way thats easy to understand, which is why i think the fanbase is so small. it took me a couple of reads to gauge what happened in ph and since vnc is still ongoing, its nearly impossible to tell whats happening. i only came to understand pandora hearts in retrospect and rereads, which i can’t do with an incomplete series like vanitas no carte. mochijun has really amazing ideas and aesthetics and their art has gotten so much better over the years but her execution of them falls a little flat :( mangas with similar aesthetics and concepts like black butler (which i compare to because it ran in the same magazine as pandora hearts) i feel are more successful bc it processes its plot twists in bite sized chunks and forgoes more symbolic / vague words + imagery for straightfoward exposition / info dumps between everything. but i really prefer pandora hearts / vnc to black butler by 23423423 miles so i guess execution isnt always everything!!

#im really soggy i was rereading vnc last night and i wanna cos vanitas so bad #his clothes look so comfy n big.. #ask #xiulric
