Apparently this job requires me to either; 1) Kill customers or 2)
Kill shop assistants by product placement. This is an advert for a company that requires a Merchandiser for Microsoft Mobile products. ' You would be required to proactively execute on POS through exceptional merchandising practices ' Grandma will be spinning too. ' As well as being able to work autonomously, be proactive and you must be able to think outside the square in presenting solutions to your retailers, and approach every day with a tenacious and passionate attitude representative of your out-going personality.' I really need to go back to school so that I too could be eduficumated in proper ingleesh like wot iz tort nar ain't it?

Went to Best Buy yesterday for a USB external FDD. Called ahead; Took 20 minutes,but yep, 4 in stock. Took the floor crew 40 minutes to find them, though plainly displayed on a gondola. (I don't participate in these snipe hunts anymore - Don't walk well). All personnel involved wore wireless headsets, presumably receiving guidance from the mothership. I assume that most of the interval was consumed hoping I'd go away; Still seems remarkable... If I owned Best Buy stock I'd sell it.

As opposed to... ? Fry's is another 20 minutes down the freeway - Last time I was there I was accosted by a large fellow who wanted to strip-search me. I convinced him to go bother someone else.

If Best Buy has the best price (rare, but it happens) I got there. For most computer related technology items the smaller shops in Toronto can't be beat.

It's weird: I hear this a lot about Fry's Electronics, but the one we have here in Phoenix is nothing like the horror stories you get on the internets. I love our Fry's, you can get stuff cheaper there than online, and they offer a 15-day return policy with no restocking fee. They're also very efficient, both at getting you through the checkout, and getting your refund/exchange processed. The only other Fry's I've been to, was in Las Vegas -- and it wasn't bad either. If you're going to be in Phoenix for the MASTERs, Microchip offers free daily bus rides to Fry's Electronics.

Maybe POS means "Piece of S***"? ;)
It is amazing how these job ads are nothing but a collection of buzz-words thrown together in (semi)grammatically correct sentences. Really reminds me of the Dilbert Mission Statement Generator! I'll have to remember to "think outside the square"!!!

My first experience with Fry's was buying a P2 kit - Which
still works. Next was a GE "Superadio", which I'm listening to as we speak. My last was the experience I referenced. I habitually carry a knife, which seemed to discourage the young man I mentioned. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist |
