Shooting Star Children's Hospices’ Post

This Curry's store in Wednesbury, West Midlands, was once a PC World — a place that holds a pivotal moment in my career journey. Back in 1994, I was working full-time in credit underwriting, doing well, but feeling like I could do more. I casually mentioned this to my manager, not expecting much to come of it. A few days later, I got the tap on the shoulder. " Can we have a chat?" Usually, that phrase spells trouble, but not this time. "You know how you said you wanted to do more?" she asked. "Well, I have an opportunity for you." The bank had just partnered with PC World to offer instant free credit to customers. The Wednesbury store was set to be a flagship, and they needed someone on-site to handle any issues. She wanted me to represent the bank at the store’s grand opening. This was huge. I was thrilled… until the nerves kicked in. Where on earth was Wednesbury? How would I get there? Was it even in my dad's A-Z? (Remember, this was before Google Maps.) I didn’t even own a decent suit! And what if I had problems? I didn’t know a soul in the store. These concerns seem trivial now, but I was just 20, still living with my parents, and this felt monumental. But I figured it out, and those few days in store went brilliantly. I learned so much, grew in confidence, and it set me on a path to further my career. Life is full of opportunities, but that little voice in your head (yes, *that* voice) can easily talk you out of them. What I’ve learned is that growth happens outside your comfort zone. You have to step into discomfort and face your fears to become a better version of yourself. If I hadn’t spoken up, I might still be underwriting car finance for used cars today! What was your “sliding doors” moment that shaped the course of your career? #weekendmussings #customerexperience #lifelessons #personaldevelopment

13 Insights From 13 Jobs - Part 3/13! I first applied to Hot Topic when I was 16, in high school, thinking the people who worked there were soooo cool - and then it was super cool when I turned 20 and got to work there myself! I quickly moved up to a seasonal keyholder - and probably in part because of the ruthless upselling habits I made at Game Stop (which was last week's post...) What I learned was how to frame things so that there was benefit for both the customers and the company. With the introduction of Hot Cash, on paper, it was a "free" $15 for every $30 customers spent - but instead I pitched it to customers as "Get $45 worth of stuff for $30." Your customer should always be your goal - but sometimes you gotta satisfy the company to get that upward mobility. Pictured: The Hot Topic I worked at in Tanforan Mall. It is - you guessed it - right across the way from the Game Stop I worked at, which was right next to the Coldstone I worked at. At one point, I worked at all three at once!
