EOC week 3 – Great Customer Service

My experience with great customer service will have to be the time that I found a torn up hundred-dollar bill in the street. It was only half of the whole bill so I thought that it could not be used and was considering just leaving it there, or discarding it after I had picked it up. Well, I ended up taking it home and thought about just keeping it as a memoir of some sort, but at the time, (I was around 13 and living with my grandparents) my grandma told me that it was a good possibility that I could get a new bill that I could spend if I sent it to the US Mint. So I grabbed a plain white envelope, searched for the Mint’s address out of the phone book, labeled it with their mailing address and my return address, licked a stamp, threw it on there and dropped it into the mailbox. I really only expected to receive the same torn, half hundred-dollar bill that I had sent off, probably with a little note explaining how sorry they were for not being able to exchange my poor torn bill for a nice new, crisp one, that of course I could spend anywhere in the world, but they didn’t. To my amazing surprise, they sent me a brand new, crisp hundred-dollar bill, the one that I had been imagining for like two weeks. It only took about two weeks for me to receive it including shipping time, I couldn’t believe it. I thought it would have taken at least a month or more and I would have had to call, or keep calling and give them all sorts of info like the serial number and date I had sent it, but I didn’t, and to add to it, they even sent me a little paper bill holder that encased the note…awesome service, Treasury!

EOC week 2 – My demographic

As a Generation Yer, I feel that the tendencies expressed by researchers on my behalf, are dead on. I must admit that being described as impatient is not the word. I am so impatient that I would rather do something dangerous and crazy to avoid waiting. Spending money on electronics is a major purchasing concern for me…I have to have the latest and advanced gadget out there; I don’t see how my grandparents kept those TV’s and radio for so long! I do tend to want to know why things work the way they do, not so much to the exact specs, but I have to have some insight on the schematics. I am family oriented-but of the new school…believing in family murals and values but not so much on that marriage thing, so maybe not that traditional. I also have to have a nice luxury car, but will never buy brand new, (why pay more when you can wait?) And now looking for that great place of mortar that I can call home, so I guess I’m entering my money making years, (thank God) where I can raise a tribe to continue the legacy I’m starting to build.

EOC week 2 - Favorite fast food

My favorite fast-food as a kid growing up in Mid-West America would have to be the Happy Meal at McDonalds. It really didn’t matter which one, either the cheese-burger, or nuggets, as long as I got a chance to see which cool new toy was available for me. But, I must say, I did have to eat, and man, did that little arch-handled box smell good. Good enough for me, (for a second anyway) to forget about that little toy and focus on dipping those little nuggets in the specially packaged barbeque, or sweet-n-sour sauce, or sinking my teeth in that absolutely delicious cheese burger. Of course, (with either choice of burger or nuggets) I had to devour the best French-fries ever made on Earth that complimented the meal. So great of a marketing plan, toy and food for a kid; it even came with a drink to wash down all that delicious food.

EOC

I am currently a digital film and television production technician with experience in corporate commercials, television production, public announcements, film production, web streams and music videos. On a mission to build a name brand, and make a footprint in the professional motion media industry. I am very knowledgeable with editing software, lighting equipment, camera equipment, working with people and making deadlines. I plan on one day becoming a major studio producer and director with hopes of one day making a blockbuster indie film. My drive force is impeccable, motivated by self and self starting. Every day for me provides a new opportunity to embrace the world’s creative fields and produce something that will outlast my time on this Earth, which hopefully in turn, will have a pleasant and meaningful impact on other people’s lives. My heart is in what I do, reflecting in my work and representing the image that clients wish to display to represent their business. Gifted with the ability to set trends and make waves, I also tend to have an ear for listening to what the client wants, not just making suggestions for my own personal preferences, controlling the output and quality of the consumer’s project. Quality is the key with me, always striving to achieve excellence and learning from my past experiences.
