Benefits from Working Here [Week 12 Question]

While working at Jittery Joes Ive learned to deal with the public and many other things. Its the first work experince Ive ever had. The things that could help me in the future would be the fact that I learned to work with the public, learned to handle money, learned to multi-task and a lot more. All of these things can benefit me either working at a part time job or when I start my own business.

My Future [Week 11 Question]

I would like to pursue a career in photography. In order to get a job in photography I would definitely have to know some other photographers to get my name out there and I would also have to have some type of class that teaches me the basics of photography from lighting to setting to color. I dont know exactly how college education I would have to have to start a career. Most photographers start their own business so I would probably have to have business classes and a business license. Jittery Joes really has nothing to do with the career that I want, there are a few things that could potentially help me. From dealing with customers to handling money.

Goals [Week 10 Question]


Trying to finish my math class is my main goal for this semester. I only need 3 credits to graduate and my math class is one of those credits I need but its a hard class. I hoping to finish it by December so I can get out of here! After graduation I plan to go to The Art Institute of Atlanta and major in photography. I love photography so I figure I would make a career out of it.

Changes? [Week 9 Question]

Working at Jittery Joes is not difficult in any way. I basically do the same thing everyday, serve customers, clean, re-stock and close down and none fo those things are hard at all. The only thing that is difficult is when Im working alone and I have to serve customers and do my daily routine of closing down. Ive gotten used to doing it alone because I have to most of the time, so Ive built my multi-tasking skills which could benefit me in the future. I really wouldnt like to change anything about working here.

Penny Pinchers [Week 8 Question]

Ive never had a job that I got paid for, so I dont really know how I would spend the money I earned. Therefore, working at Jittery Joes and not getting paid for it hasnt really changed the way I spend my money. If I did get paid for working here I would probably put most of my money in the bank simply so I know I will always have some type of money that is mine. Most of the money I get now like from my parents, I put it in the bank and just use my debit card.

Good, Bad and Ugly Customers. [Week 7 Question]

I havent really had any bad customers, Ive just had people that always asked me for free stuff. Its an everyday thing when people ask me for free stuff and my answer is always no. There was one time I had a customer that didnt believe I was selling the products at the right price and there was a little tention but other than that everything has gone smoothly. Since basically the only customers that come to Jittery Joes are my classmates that makes it easier to serve and talk to them rather than serving a complete stranger.

Current Status? [Week 6 Question]

While I tend to feel different on different days it usually depends on my mood that day. Most days Im in a good mood so that doesnt really change anything. The days at Jittery Joes are all the same, some days feel longer than others, some days we hardly have any business, some days we have boo koo people come up here during third period. It all depends on the day wether or not what happens. When we arent busy then I just use my feel time to re-stock, clean, and work on other school work.
