Initially I worked for Sunglasses Hut and I was looking for something more challenging, something that might help me segue into the corporate world of Optical sales/manufacturing. I got in contact with the GM at the Lenscrafters location that I was hoping to join and asked when a good time to potentially join their team would be (this was in late September), after some phone tag I was informed that Insurance week (the time at the end of the year when people are looking to spend the last of their flex spending and so consequently splurge on prescription eyewear) was coming up in December and that if I was a quick learner i could come on for that period and see how I liked prescription optics. I went over to discuss hours and wage and a couple of weeks later i started training.
