I just had my first day at Zara and oh boy was it fun. It was awesome, I love it SO FAR, pretty tiring but time goes by VERY quickly when you’re on the floor… I worked from 11-7 so I got an hour break… which is lovely and extra long. We had a quick meeting first thing in the morning, and then off to the floor.

Now the mens department has 2 floor. I was working upstairs the whole day. Love the environment, awesome and funny people; I worked with McKelly and Jesses, both very fabulous and funny people. I’m surprise to know both of them are Filipino too, which makes us all Filipino on the floor (not being racist). They constantly seem to be fighting and I get pretty scared but I learned that they are not at all, they we’re just goofing at each other.

So i was given this CHIC lil pamphlet to read, just to know pretty much the BASICs.

People there like me so far, well at least my manager likes me, so as the 2 fabulous colleagues i have upstairs. I get to work with Morsal as well who I had class with back in high school, only she stays downstairs.

McKelly is FIERCE. ahhaha, omg! he’s hilariously funny and nice. I had a training with him and I wish he stays in my store but unluckily he works at the one in Metrotown mall. He taught me how to fold a shirt and darn it’s a whole new world of folding right there compare to my previous job. He’s got this very funky vibe going on and I feel comfortable being around him.

However, with Jessey, I was pretty intimidated at first. He walked in with his full suit attire on (which later i found out his uniform) and I thought he is someone with like a higher position like a supervisor or something, so I was pretty scared. McKelly walked in with the same outfit/uniform but without the jacket/blazer on (he was complaining bout the room being warm) and Jesse (manager, yes we have 2 jesses) told me already about McKelly and how he’s gonna be training me so I immediately feel comfortable around him.

during my break, I didn’t know where to eat. I grab myself some BBT and then wondered around for a minute or so hoping to find a place to eat… but oh well, I ended up at Dennys where I met this guy who served us (me and rox) one time. He joined me for lunch, and yea, we talk for a bit.

OVERLALL my first day wasn’t as bad as my first day at Liz Claiborne, I remember being so lost and I had no idea how to act on the floor on my first day at Liz… for Zara i kinah knew what i was doing and I handled it pretty well… all I have to master is the product knowledge, i get stucked when people ask me about the product.. and the back stocking as well…

So that was my first day.
