Hey guys, I was looking for feedback on my short answer for the common app. The objective was to describe an experience from where I work. Grammar, and content feedback are both welcome. Thank you!
As I was working the sales floor one day, an older gentleman entered the store. After greeting him, I soon learned he had pain in his feet. Knowing I could help him, I lead the man to our shoes. I was able to help him pick a pair of shoes that were wide enough for his feet, and had ample cushioning. Once he made his mind up on what shoes he wanted, I suggested that he try our extra-cushioned insoles. The gentleman was taken back by how much this improved how his feet felt. I then rang him up at the registered, and wished him a good day.
As a sales associate I take pride in helping others. There is no better feeling than when a customer leaves the store satisfied. Through my experiences at work I have learned how to identify with people. I have also learned that I enjoy helping people.
