Daily Duties at Blockbuster Video:
As the store manager of Blockbuster Video, I hired store employees, trained employees, did the weekly paperwork including payroll and cash audit reporting, ordered movies and made special store displays. Within a year I had increased the store staff from 2 to 11 employees with 0 turn-over. In addition, while under my management, my crew and I made record sales and won numerous store to store contests on video and candy sales. We became among the top rated stores in our district as well as company-wide, based on customer satisfaction and Secret Shopper ratings. Our store inventory shrinkage dropped off steeply and new and active memberships skyrocketed. The store made a solid profit and was in the black for the first time in several years. Everyday offered a welcomed challenge. Although I received top marks from my district manager for my performance, he was not authorized to give me the pay increase that either one of us thought I had earned. The low pay forced me to find more profitable employment.
What they like about Blockbuster Video:
You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
