Sociology AlumniAmanda TottinghamDegrees: B.A., 2000 Organization: Unicom Management Job History and Responsibilities:I am employed full-time with Unicom management in the Twin Cities area. I am a marketing consultant. I started work on March 1, 2001 as a new hire. My biggest responsibility now is going to apartment complexes that have high vacancy rates and get them rented up. I do a lot of determining demographics. The job prior was a manager of Footlocker. I worked for that company for nearly eight years while going to school. My responsibilities were doing the day-to-day things as a manager - schedules, customer service, accounts payable & receivable. How I use sociology in my job:I need to find out people's hot buttons in order to get them to rent my apartment over the ones across the street. I use social class and demographics on a daily basis. Social Psychology is the one that sticks in my mind because of all the different schools of thought. My internship was the training to become a manager at footlocker. Sociology has helped me to understand different social groups and how they interact. The jobs are the same; I am selling a product/service. |
