i'm in the process of buying a franchise--Subway. about two weeks ago, kun's father said it's a good way to know more about a franchise if you can work in there first. i think it's a good idea even though i have never thought about it before. i selected about 10 stores located around downtown area, went there, and left the job application form downloaded from Subway's website.
most of stores, i couldn't meet the manager or the owner because they are normally not staying in the store but just go there once a day. i met one owner one manager though. they both gave me a call and asked me to an interview. the owner is a Chinese. i told him very honestly the reason of why i wanna work in a Subway. i was too honest. i should have not told him the real reason. he just said he would take a consideration of me. that was it, and he has never called back.
the second one was a manage perhaps. she was an ugly--not so ugly actually, but i don't like her--and rude woman, not friendly at all, and has a very low and loud voice. i hate hearing her voice once she speaks. but anyway, after three times of no pay working, i'm gonna work there as a full time 'sandwich artist' at least for two months i guess. at least work until kun's parents back from China, around mid-December. it's a good thing. hope i can learn a lot and know more.
things i should do now include meeting with at least 5 Subway owners, talking with banks for loan and mortgage information, and calling to those on sale stores to try knowing more, let's say, annual sales, rent, and labor.
it seems i'm getting busy, but that's a good thing. i'm learning French too. i found two online learning websites that were so good for a beginner. learning at home can be the best way for me. the only thing is that i have to push myself to be insistent.
one more thing, today i ran with eggplant, hahaha. it was my first time doing exercise with eggplant. it was a good start.
