Part-time Promoter
Caryn Woo
Worked as a part-time promoter at Astaka Shopping Center during sem-break. It's time to earn some pocket money to cover those enjoyable trips I had the last few weeks. Pocket kosong, pokkai liao! Never thought that I'd worked as a promoter coz I often regard it as an 'open to public job', where you have to stand there all day long and 'expose' yourself! Things changed. I guess if you're hungry enough, the environment will force you to do the things that you won't even expect you'll do!

Before going to work. Wearing an apron while I don't even need to cook!


Well, I was the promoter for Kimberly-Clark 1 month Fair. Worked on Saturday & Sunday only. Which means, worked 2 days, off 5 days. Haha..quite relaxing! I don't want my job to ruin my sem-break. Sem-break is suppose to spend time with friends and family. Time to have fun is important. That's me! Besides, this job was quite well-paid. RM60 per day, consider not bad! That's why I'd accept this job.

Promoting Kimberly-Clark Products : Kotex, Huggies, Poise, Kleenex and Scott.

Give away goodies bag for customer that puchase RM50 & above of Kimberly-Clark Product(must include 1 kotex product). It wasn't easy to convince people to buy above RM50.

Unforgettable experience during this job : an 1 year old ++ boy poo-poo at my counter! Gosh..I want faint ar! Does my counter looks like a toilet to him?? Or those pampers at my counter makes him feel like poo-poo? Maybe I should encourage the mother to buy pampers from me. It wasn't that little boy's fault coz he's still so young. His mum should bring him straight to the toilet and not settle it in the public! Using a plastic bag to settle little kid 'small stuff' or 'big stuff' wasn't a good idea at all. In the end will mess up other's people place. All kinds of people in this world. Macam-macam. Thx goodness I don't have to clean up those poo-poo on my own, get the cleaner to clean up.

Overall, it was a great experience to work as a promoter. You'll get the chance to train your leg by standing for 8 hours! In fact, you can learn something by standing there and observe people in the shopping centre. See how they behave and what they buy(esp during offer day) can be interesting also.

Can't believe that 2 months ++ sem break just gone like that! Going back UTM tomorrow. Miss the time together with my coursemates, at the same time feel lazy and sienz to go back. Can't bear to leave my comfort zone. It's a mixture of feelings ya. No more complaints! I'd already got 1 more week break than others. It's time to face the reality......
