My other face (^_^*)

I have had two kinds of part time-job.

Previously, I worked at a jeans shop as a shop staff. Shop staff have a lot of working. To sell jeans, I memorized about them. For example, shape, material, maker, size, price, and so on. According to customers, I found the best jeans for them. It was very difficult. But I learned how to provide services for several people. In addition, the shop dealt with not only jeans, but also casual clothes. How beautiful we display clothes on counters influences gross sales. I had to fold clothes quickly and clearly. Sometimes, customers asked me to show them a nice coordinate with jeans which they bought. It was like a test of my fashion sense! I enjoyed that feeling like playing dress-up doll. When the customer who wear clothing that I had chosen came to the shop. I can't forget the happiness.

Now, I work at a Western restaurant as a waitress at a station building. I fell different difficulties from working at jeans shop. This photo is "Hamburg steak set". I have to provide service for all customers. Sometimes I am confused serving some dishes for customers who sit different table at a time. And It is hard for me to serve appetizing dishes when I am hungry. But the happy times working at a restaurant are when customers say to me "it was so delicious!" and "GOTISOUSAMA(ごちそうさま)!" (It is said after eating something.)

What I learned by working would be effective for our future. I want to enjoy and to learn more!!

Working at a Jeans store in Japan sounds difficult. In America many sales people don't do a good job, so there work is easier.

I work in a restaurant too, I cook though. I always feel bad for waitresses because you don't get to eat as much as us cooks.

Your English is really good! I might suggest using coordinate as a verb rather than a noun. For instance: "how to coordinate other clothes with the jeans they bought."

To Joseph
It was difficlt to work at jeans shop. American customers often came to buy jeans. I made an effort to talk with them.
I'm not good at cooking. But I want to work in a restaurant as a cook someday.
Thank you for giving advice to my English!
