Maybe you can help me out too
I started out at a big electronic store (chain) as a computer salesmen, then became a technician because they were short staffed and I didnt feel comfterble in the selling of extended warrantys. Anyway I did the technician work for a bit and got really good at it (I knew my stuff before hand) and then throughout the process the guy who hired me to be a tech moved on to another company and knew somebody who was looking for a guy like me and referd me so I got the job Im at now. I currently work as a Level 1 technician for a pretty big enterprise down in the states but work out of Canada. Ive wanted to become a bartender for the longest while now and have prolonged the course for about 2-3 months and Im finally starting the course mid Feb and should be done early March. That being said I should have a 2nd nighttime job as a bartender mid March (or so I hope)
Can you help me? Thanks
My Version:
Someone asks: "What do you do/where you work/etc/"
YOU: "Well its funny i never saw myself getting to where i am a few years back when i started. I took up a position at this Electronics store...we will leave the name out to protect the innocent
. Well i started there as a computer sales associate and was doing so well that my manager promoted me to a Technician. It just fit like a glove, it came to me naturally. Well my manager ended up leaving and reffered me to this big corporation in the US and i picked up a tech job there and its just been amazing. Its actually afforded me the chance to follow a long time ambition of mine...bartending. I just love socializing and working with people. So im starting class's in a bit and maybe youll see me at your favorite bar soon
."
Hope this helps cheesecake, and PUA_Ace im glad i could help man. Keep working on it guys..its all storytelling, the material isnt as important as how you tell it.
**NOTE**
For those of you wondering how to transition from one story to the next, i can use the above story as an example. Alot of the times, with the method i use for doing DHV, someone will bring up a topic and ill have a story relative in some way to it.
So had i been talking to cheesecake and he started talking about being a computer slaes person, i woulda went into a thread about my job experience much like my story in my first post...except id highlight that i too was a sales person at circuit city. Id also later point out my intrest in becomming a bartender. Just from those to similarities me and Cheesecake would probably talk for hours.
In the field, use what other people say or do to lead into your stories. Alot of the time they will trigger a memory in you by thier words or actions...if they dont start up a topic of convo (create openers that you can use to lead to your sotries) then have something to say to guide them in the direction you want to go.
Also lastly remember that most of the time things a,b,c that you say do not have to be related...people naturally jump around from unrelated topic to unrelated topic.
