Hawken Project Blog 1
For my Hawken Project, I will be volunteering at the NCJW Thriftique showroom. The first aspect of this that appealed to me was working in something retail. On my own, I do a little bit of dropshipping on eBay. I thought it would be a valuable experience for me to spend three weeks viewing how a retail shop is run.
From what I have heard, every Monday-Friday for the next three weeks, I will be volunteering at the thrift shop from 10 am-4 pm. I have a fair amount of experience selling sports cards, so they told me they have a lot for me to go through. In addition to that, they have told me I will be running their social media on Tik Tok. I have never used Tik Tok so posting content for the thrift store will be a learning experience for me. However, I am excited about this because in the future I want to post on a Tik Tok account of my own. I am hoping these next three weeks will give me enough time to get comfortable with the features of the app. Besides that, I am not sure what my day will consist of. I am excited to get to help an organization that is doing good things in the local community.

Jack, it sounds like you will be learning a lot of important skills related to retail business. It is exciting that you will be running the store's social media on Tik Tok -- I look forward to checking out your posts! I'm curious to learn more about how Thriftique fits into the mission of the NCJW. It is one of my personal favorite thrift stores to shop at, and I'm eager to hear more about its role in the community.
