First Impressions:
What strikes you most about your workplace? What I noticed the most when walking into my internship was the community that it had. My mentor's friends come in and help bag and board the comics on the stocking day (Tuesday). This is often the busiest day of the week because we get new shipments in and a lot of new merchandise so it's a lot easier with the extra help. The store doesn't open until 4:00 on this day because there's so much to do. Even though we do open later, we have a lot of customers come in because they know that there will be new merchandise in the store and new comics. What strikes you most about your colleagues? I would say their dedication to the job. They all love being there and it shows through how hard they work to get everything in order. Organization is one of the most important factors in running a comic shop and it takes a lot of people to keep it afloat. They dedicate their free time to this job because they genuinely enjoy being there and being surrounded by the comics. What strikes you the most about the job you're doing? What strikes me most is the amount it contributes. I started off pretty easy the first day organizing the graphic novels, but after I finished I felt very accomplished in my work. My goal was to make as much room on the shelves as I could and fit more books in because the stacks were a bit cluttered. Though it took a little while to make sure it was all in order, I felt confident in the work that I had done, plus it was a lot of fun seeing comics that I wrote down as something for me to buy later on. What are you looking forward to during your internship? I am looking forward to doing a lot more on the register and learning from my mentor about business tactics. My project is based around the success in popular comic industries and how they achieve this success in such a thriving industry. Though I focusing more on their process and what marketing tactics they used to get there. I am looking forward to starting this research and working more at the register to see consumer habits firsthand. What wonderings do you have about your role and/or your workplace? One of the things I am curious about are the tactics that they choose to use. I know that my mentor knows a lot about the industry and I assume he uses a lot of the same tactics as bigger companies. I'm really curious to see how he advertises and what he thinks the shop's biggest attraction is.
