My internship report by CHU Miu Yin (220296849)

First Day

220296849 — 2024-03-07 09:35:05 UTC

It was my first day at work. When I arrived at the company, I was not too nervous. Maybe I had experience in working part-time. My colleagues enthusiastically and patiently told me what to do or how to do it, told me about daily tasks, helped parents order textbooks and helped collect money at the cashier. The time passed during the day and I didn’t feel very tired when I went to work on the first day.

Order textbooks

Today my colleague taught me to order textbooks for parents. Although our textbook department has a large supply of textbooks, we sometimes have to face delays in shipments from publishers. At this time, we need to help parents order textbooks to ensure that students have textbooks before the start of school.

Distribute textbooks to schools

Our booksellers have regular cooperation with some schools, such as St. Paul's Secondary School, Belilios Public School etc. One day I went to Belilios Public School to help distribute textbooks. This is a little more difficult than a normal trip to the bookstore because I have to go back and forth frequently, and most students have ordered textbooks for the entire semester, so the books feel heavy when I pick them up. But it’s more fulfilling this way.

Colleagues invited us to dinner！

Because an unexpected thing happened when I went to school to distribute textbooks. So after the whole trip, my colleague invited us to dinner, thank you!

Special event

The problem is, as the school year approaches, one student has yet to receive the textbooks he ordered, so we ask booksellers across the nine districts in Hong Kong to help him find all his textbooks before school starts. This is quite exciting.

Last day

220296849 — 2024-03-07 10:26:37 UTC

It's the last day of my summer job. Our boss invited us to eat pizza. Within two months, I asked myself that I am an introvert, but I can actually have wonderful friendships with them.

Daily life at the cashier

You need to concentrate on counting the textbooks. Sometimes there are so many textbooks that you don’t know which one you have clicked on.

After last day

We often go out to catch up with them to maintain good relationships
