307. Skills
What surprised Lu Wei was that she was not the first person to interview.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, she saw a tall and blond German girl walking out of the manager's office in frustration and mumbled towards the supermarket door.
Just as Lu Wei stared at the girl's back, a German man with white hair and beard sat in the office and shouted loudly: "Hello?"
Lu Wei was awakened by this throat and hurriedly walked into the office with his schoolbag. While nodding, he sat opposite the German uncle with a low body.
The German uncle is about 60 years old, wearing reading glasses, and looks kind-hearted and amiable.
"Hello, I'm here to interview for a job." Lu Wei said and gestured, "I saw a notice of recruitment on the glass outside, so..."
"My name is Carl, and I am responsible for recruitment. Please show me your ID." The German old man said with a smile.
Lu Wei hurriedly stacked all kinds of documents related to working and pushed them to the German uncle Carl.
While looking through the materials, Carl asked casually: "Ms. Lu, have you worked in the supermarket before?"
Lu Wei was about to blurt out and say nothing, but a sudden flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he hurriedly said, "Yes, I have worked in the supermarket for many years."
"You know, there are many new products in Aldi supermarket in summer, so we urgently need a skilled job. If you have experience in this area, it would be great." The German old man returned the materials to Lu Wei while saying that, and stood up from the chair. The German old man was burly and immediately made a squeaking sound, as if he would fall apart at any time. He waved his hand at Lu Wei and signaled Lu Wei to go out with him.
Lu Wei couldn't help but sigh for his anxious wisdom and secretly reminded himself not to say the wrong thing again.
"Our interview is actually very simple, mainly to test your language skills and practical hands-on ability." The German old man led Lu Wei to the innermost row of shelves in the supermarket.
This row of shelves looks very new, as if they have just been installed. Various products prepared to be placed on the shelves are piled together in an oversized cardboard box. There are many products, and they are stacked one end higher than Lu Wei.
"The first item is, please put the goods in this box on the shelves correctly within 15 minutes." The German old man said with a smile. His white beard trembled, reminding Lu Wei of the tumbler he played when he was a child. "It's 9:27, and I'll check it again at 9:42. Do you understand the requirements?"
Lu Wei nodded solemnly.
The German uncle nodded and smiled with satisfaction, walked back to the office with his hands behind his back.
Time is limited, and looking at a large box of goods, Lu Wei dared not delay it. He immediately took the goods out of the carton and placed them on the shelves one by one.
Lu Wei was busy all the time, and suddenly someone shouted behind him, "Is it Lu Wei?"
Lu Wei turned around suddenly and found Dong Qiangqiang standing behind him.
"Hey, long time no see. Why are you here?" Lu Wei subconsciously glanced at the cardboard box next to him, with a little unnatural appearance on his face.
"I went to work and waited for the car at the entrance of the supermarket, but lunch in the place where I worked was too late, so I was afraid I wouldn't have the energy to work." Dong Qiangqiang raised the bread and bacon in his hand, "So come in and buy some placemats to make your stomach. What about you?"
"Me?" Lu Wei blushed, but immediately felt relieved and said generously: "I'm in an interview."
"Interview?" Dong Qiangqiang actually saw what Lu Wei was doing just now, but he was surprised, "Is this still the German supermarket interview?"
Lu Wei put his hair behind his ears embarrassedly and pointed to the box: "The Germans asked me to put all the goods in it on the shelves."
"That's right." Dong Qiangqiang turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no supermarket employee next to him, he leaned closer to Lu Wei and whispered, "But you may suffer a loss when you put it like this."
"Suffering a loss?" Lu Wei looked at Dong Qiangqiang suspiciously, "What are you suffering from?"
"Look at what are on the shelves next to you?"
Lu Wei opened his eyes wide and looked around carefully: "It's all the products from the supermarket."
Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, Dong Qiangqiang kindly reminded: "The shelves on both sides of your row (shelf) are filled with daily necessities, and the ones you are now on the shelves are indeed snacks and audio-visual products, which is not suitable."
Lu Wei turned his head and saw that the shelves next to him were covered with three-piece towels and quilts. She quickly took down all the already arranged ones. At the same time, she asked in a low voice: "Then I will classify them by daily necessities and non-living items?"
Dong Qiangqiang nodded and whispered: "After you sort out the categories, place products with high sales frequency and low selectivity among daily necessities in places that are more easily seen and reached by consumers, that is, the second and third floors of the shelves, among which goods that are flush with people's sight or close to the position are absolutely C-positions. However, the goods that need to be used to choose are placed on the lower floor of the shelves, after all, most consumers do not like to bend over to shop."
Lu Wei suddenly remembered that when he was working in a perfume shop, the foreman seemed to teach him this way: Generally speaking, the goods on supermarket shelves are not randomly placed, and they contain a lot of psychological content, such as those with large sales, high prices, and easy to touch people, all the goods should be placed in the most eye-catching position on the shelves. German supermarkets do not pay much attention to using piles to promote products, so it is particularly important to place the price of goods on the shelves.
She couldn't help but feel scared. She didn't expect that there were so many "traps" hidden in an interview for a supermarket. She just boasted that she had experience working in a supermarket. If Carl saw her being stolen, she probably wouldn't get a job position.
Lu Wei quickly reclassified the goods in the carton according to Dong Qiangqiang's suggestion, and then placed the appropriate goods in the right place.
After the placement was completed, Lu Wei temporarily left the items that appeared sporadically or were difficult to classify or placed on the shelves in the carton.
"It will be much more comfortable to look at this way." Dong Qiangqiang praised.
When Lu Wei was busy, he did not stand by and watch, but stood by and helped Lu Wei check it out, and then he nodded with satisfaction after confirming that the goods placed were not abrupt or strange.
Lu Wei wiped his sweat and was grateful: "Thank you, I was in a hurry just now, but I didn't pay attention to the details, almost..."
"A small matter is not worth mentioning." Dong Qiangqiang laughed, "You go and find the manager."
"That," Lu Wei said strangely, "but how do you know this? You have just arrived a few days ago, how do you know how to put things in German supermarkets?"
