Being a Brand Ambassador at the University of Alabama SupeStore allowed me to balance my courseload while working. My job was to help sell different products at the SupeStore as well as leaving a positive impression of the Supestore on the new University of Alabama students. This position refined my social skills, communication skills, and marketing skills.
Social communication skills were essential when marketing different items from the Supestore. I also assisted in providing advice to the new parents and students at the University. While this position was not tech related by definition, I naturally gravitated to it. I was placed in the Tech Department selling Mac's and Dell Computers. This required me to know all about the different products on the market and how they stacked up to the needs of the consumer. The Apple Care Repair tech team would teach me about the hardware within Mac's and some of the basics of repair. They also assisted in teaching basic IT support on Mac's to help cleanse the computers of viruses.
