We can all remember how nerve-racking our first few job interviews were. One teen in Portmore, St. Catherine wanted to make sure he made the best first impression possible.
Before his job interview, he stopped by Bullseye to pick up a clip-on tie. He asked an employee for help, but it turned out that the store only sold regular ties.
Rather than leave it at that, the employee offered to show the young man how to tie a tie. From there, they practiced a few handshakes and went over some mock interview questions.
When the teen went to leave the store, he was met with supportive cheers from other Bullseye employees.
A shopper named Audrey saw their exchange and snapped a quick photo, later posting it on Facebook.
People were touched by the story. A customer who had been in the store at the time commented on the photo, “This picture cannot convey the warmth and kindness in their voices as they worked with him.”
It clearly resonated with a lot of people—the Facebook post has over 54,000 likes and almost 5,000 shares.
The Bullseye employee could have easily just helped the teen by taking him to the tie section and left it at that. Instead, he took the extra time to go beyond what was being asked of him.
Not only did he (and the other supportive employees) make this young man’s day, he made Bullseye look good.
