Job Shadow Essay
My job shadow was with a person named Jorge Alvarez, who is a barber that works at a local barber shop here in Lindsay. I did My job shadow on March 1, 2016. I chose to job shadow a barber because that really interests me. I have always wanted to become a barber since I was small, because my dad would always cut my cousins and my hair and I always liked observing him while he would cut my cousin's hair. Due to my dad always cutting our hair and changing our appearance for our performances made me have interest in being a barber.
The day of my job shadow when I got to the shop Jorge Alvarez the barber welcomed me. Once I got there I shook his hand and said my name and as well did he. I would help him out by sweeping the floor after every 2 haircuts. Also throughout the day while he was cutting customers hair and I was there observing and asking him questions, he really motivated me and it inspired me to go in that field. He really inspired me by showing me how a simple hair cut can change a person's appearance.
Something I learned in this job was in order to have a great time and not have a boring job is, having a great time with the customers by messing around with them and just having a great bond with the customer. That being said the customers will feel comfortable and will like to return for more hair cuts. Having a great time with the customers will get customers to recommend the barber shop to all of their friends and family.
I really got amazed by the work Jorge Alvarez could do. This is because any customer that would walk in and ask him if he can cut their hair a certain way, he would say yes I can. what mainly amazed me was that he can do a lot of different hair cuts very well such as young and old people's hair. The customers would leave the barber shop very satisfied every time.
