I have been at my job for 8 years. I volunteer at a hospital. My mother is a nurse. I like to play guitar and help people.
I sell encyclopedias, but sales are not going well. I am not a very good artist.
Any new ideas for increasing your sales? Maybe you could reach out to libraries, schools, or universities to see if they need to update their encyclopedia collections.  Thats a good idea. I might try that. Have you volunteered lately? Yes, I was in the hospital only yesterday. They let me play my guitar for some sick kids, to cheer them up. Im sure that made them very happy. Maybe I could read an encyclopedia to them, share unknown facts with them. Are you on your mothers ward? Sometimes - it depends which ward needs the extra help on a given day. That's not a bad idea with the reading! Thanks! Better than drawing - my artwork is awful! How is work? It's OK - I guess I've gotten settled into the routine after being there so long. At least it leaves me time to do the volunteering as well. Thats true. I wish I was more successful in my job. It must be hard selling paper books these days - have you considered selling something else? I'm sure you could be just as persuasive! I have thought about it, but maybe Im just not cut out for sales. Really? I've always enjoyed talking to you, which is the sign of a good salesperson. Maybe you just need a change of approach? Maybe. What job do you do (when youre not volunteering at the hospital)?
