EOC Week 1_excelent customer service

The best customer service I have experienced was at Best Buy when I first moved to Las Vegas about 4 years ago. When we finally found the perfect house to move into, we suddenly realized the extra bonus room we had would be perfect to a projector we always wanted. The room having the perfect sized wall for projector to be pointed, at meant we knew exactly what size picture we needed the projector to throw. Although we thought we knew what we wanted didn’t necessarily meant we knew what to look for or where to look for it. Our first stop was at Fry’s, where we walked away very disappointed at the selection and quality of customer service. The employees at Fry’s where very unknowledgeable and really couldn’t find a solution to fit our needs. The second stop was at a magnolia store inside of a best buy. The moment we were greeted by the Best Buy associate I knew that the experience was going to be completely different.
The Best Buy sales person was very knowledgeable about the subject of projectors, he demonstrated the perfect projector for our needs, in the show room it was the perfect size, brightness, and clarity. But when we got it home we noticed a purple and green discoloration in all four corners of the screen. So instinctively we exchanged it for another one, but the new one also had the same problem. So once again we brought it back and exchanged it for another one, and once again the projector had the same discoloration. This time when we brought it back, we had Geek Squad test it and they found the same problem. The Best Buy sales person was nice enough to take the time and test several units to come to the conclusion that it was a completely bad batch of projectors. After all the trips we made back and forth to Best Buy, and all the time we took testing units at the store, they still returned it for the full price we paid for it. In the end we bought a projector from circuit city, but customer service that Best Buy provided was exceptional.

Week 1 EOC.my voice

As a sound engineer, I extensively dissect every sound I hear out of habit. Whether it’s a new movie that I just seen in theaters, a new album release, or something as simple as hearing a car driving down the street. I break down each aspect of every sound to better understand how it should naturally sound, and how to accurately recreate each sound. Aside from my passion for music that started with purchasing my first guitar in 7^th grade, I have had a very strong interest in Foley work and sound design. I often spend hours watching Foley artist working on creating sounds for movies, listening to them talk about how they watch a scene and break down the sound they imagine in their head into layers, that they build up to create a final product that is amazing. My journey into the world of sound started when I was 13 years old, living in a small suburb of Chicago. With not much to do aside from looking at cornfields, I decided to start learning how to play the guitar. Slowly as time went on it became a deep passion as I went through middle school and high school. Before senior year, I relocated with my family to Las Vegas, this is where I learned of the vast career options the audio industry had to offer.
