You’re fired. Aw, that sucks.
I’m sorry. No. You have a summer job and I don’t. I can’t say that.
Hey, I’m Laura. And I’m Calvi from Western TV.
The school year is coming to an end so let’s check out what students are doing this summer.
And I personally don’t have a job yet. So hopefully this Hillary Clinton pantsuit works
for me.
So do you have a customer service voice when you are working the cash register? And could
we hear it, please? Hey, how are you guys doing here? Welcome
to Mini Putt. Hi, welcome to David’s Tea. My name is Lauren
and how can I assist you? Hi, how are you? I’m Joanna and I’m calling from whatever
place I’m calling from at the time. Just wanted to know if you have this product available?
Since you have all of this experience, can I please hear you customer service voice?
Hi there, welcome to Care Studio! How can I help you today?
It’s like, hi, how are you? Oh, I’m sorry that happened. You know you always have to
have a… I wanted a double double
So be like oh sorry, here is a … here it is. You always have to smile.
Would Donald Trump be a good boss? I’m actually from the States. I’m from
New York. So, hell no. But I don’t think he would actually give
you the support you need and also the thriving environment though
He could be, could be. I feel like he knows what it takes to build a business. Be pretty
strict. I think if you mess up he’d just say, “Wrong!”
Or he’d fire me. Or he’d fire you.
I think I might have fun. It’d be entertaining. Like you could mess around with him?
I think I would like to have a very low-end background job. So I could just observe what’s
going on and not actually talk to him ever.
What is your best or worst summer job experience? I never had a summer job.
You’ve never had to work?! I’ve never worked, nah.
Have you ever applied to work? Nah.
Oh, this guy has no problems. Best is the one I still have, at a mini putt
in my hometown. Shoutout to King Putt, by the way. Probably last year when I worked at a day
camp, and these kids would always try and drown me.
I worked every summer since I was 13 for my grandpa doing carpentry. And at first, I wasn’t
paid. So that was...that was my worst. Unpaid? Are you paid now?
Yeah, I moved up from slave labour to the actual minimum wage.
I worked for my dad over the summers. And I have to say it’s the worst because he makes me
take work home. Extra hard on you?
Extra hard on me. A pyramid scheme type of company and I had
to sell flat irons in Canadian Tire. Like the ones you use for your hair.
How did you get into a pyramid scheme? At such a young age?
I actually don’t know what happened. I applied to indeed like everyone else and it just didn’t
work out.
Let’s say I am your potential employer and you want the job. Give your best handshake.
It was a little wet-fish, you know. Let’s do it one more time. You got to go like, I
have a purpose. Amazing, that’s very auto-parts. Like, I know what I’m doing.
Yeah, yeah. Like you give them a little arm tap. I heard that helps.
Yeah, make the arm tap, make an extra connection.
What’s the biggest lie you told on your resume?
Uh, that I’m smart? That you’re smart! I’m sure you are. You’re
here at university! Does putting family members as references
count as lying? Proficiency in Microsoft. I feel like everyone
says that, but I haven’t learned that since Grade 9.
Excel is tough. Yeah, I don’t know how to use that. But
definitely… 6 feet tall.
How tall are you? 5’10.
Ya, before I started working, I told all of my aunts and uncles to come up with other names
so I would just have the employers call them and they would just vouch for me.
And since I have no work experience, I said I worked for Target and like, booster juice, and stuff.
Then I would just my mom change her last name, and my dad would use his American name. And
they’d like answer questions. Okay, so you have a whole fake career in customer service.
Have you ever hit on, or will you ever hit on a person that has interviewed you on a job?
Uhm, not in a job. Maybe in an interview though.
Uh...well my dad always says, when in doubt, take the high road. So maybe not, but you know
I’ll probably feel the situation. Maybe a little wink or something like that.
So it looks like putting your mom as your reference is actually a lot more common than
we thought. Thanks for watching Western. Make sure to
