EOC WEEK 3- Customer Service

There have only been a select few times when I remember actually getting great customer service. (That customer’s service that you talk about for an hour on the way home, and that you remember to mention to everyone you come in contact with over the next week) One of these times was at one of my favorite restaurants, Olive Garden.
A few years ago my mom, her friend, a couple of other girls, and I went to Las Vegas to see a Kelly Clarkson concert. Before going to the show we decided to go have dinner at Olive Garden. After being seated our waiter came to take our drink orders. Not only was he tall, dark, and handsome he was funny! His name was Julian, and we all started to get to talking to him. Come to find out that he had actually been planning on going to the same Kelly Clarkson concert we were going to go to! He proceeded to tell us that the concert had been canceled, because Kelly Clarkson had come down with a bad case of bronchitis. We were all a little disappointed about the news. None the less we had an amazing time at dinner. Julian cheered us up by his awesome customer service, and the food was great!...But that’s not the end of the story. Kelly Clarkson had to reschedule the concert for a few months in advance, so we planned on attending the up coming concert. When we drove to Las Vegas for the concert we chose to eat at the same Olive Garden, because of the great customer service we had before. When we walked inside we were greeted by a young girl. We asked her if Julian was working and if he could be our waiter. She proceeded to tell us that he actually had the night off, because he was attending the Kelly Clarkson concert!! We thought it was hilarious. We had another incredible dinner that night, and went on to see a great concert.

EOC WEEK 2/ Generation Y

My Generation:
I fit into the Generation Y category. I was born in 1990 so I am on the younger side of this generation. I think that I fit into the ideal of this generation very well. Some things that are said about this generation are that they can be, impatient, family oriented, inquisitive, opinionated, diverse, time managers, and have street smarts. I feel that I have some of these qualities but not all. At certain times I can be impatient, but for the most part I think I am a very patient person. I feel that I am very family oriented, and I think that is a great quality I share with other Millenial’s. Some of the other qualities stated like inquisitive, and opinionated I feel don’t describe me. I think that I am great at time managing and do have street smarts. Other things that I think make me fit into this generation perfectly is the technology I use. I like to use social networking sites like face book, and MySpace. I also like to text message more than I like to make an actual phone call! These two things alone I think put me into this generation Y category.

EOC WEEK 2 / Fast Food

My Favorite Fast Food:
When I was younger my favorite fast food place to eat at was McDonalds. I remember I always loved to get Happy Meals!! My favorite thing to get in my happy meal was the chicken nuggets. I remember when I was ten or twelve, and McDonalds came out with the Mighty Kids meal and I thought it was the coolest thing ever! I could get more food in my meal, and still get a toy!
McDonalds was really the only fast food place that I remember going to a lot. There was always burger King, but it just wasn’t as good as McDonalds!

EOC WEEK1/ My Voice

Ever since I was young I have had an interest in the fashion industry. Throughout high school my interest soon became a passion when I was asked to be the editor of my high schools yearbook. I had several duties that included editing copy, meeting deadlines, and photographing school events. After taking so many pictures for the yearbook I realized that it was not the being behind the camera part that I enjoyed of photography, but more the creative side that went behind making the pictures beautiful. Ever since then I have loved to Style Photo Shoots! I decided to take my passion to the next level by making it my career. I attended The Art Institute of Las Vegas, where I received my Bachelors degree in Fashion Retail Management. Within months after my graduation I opened up my own styling firm called CSC Styles. CSC Styles assists many fashion publications, celebrities, and even offers personal shopping services.
