MARIONA BOND: SMELLING A FLOWERED FUTURE

Mariona Bond and her roses

Hello! Today I would like to talk about my professional future, about my project. I think it's important for to explain my professional objectives.

First of all, I'm going to explain who I am and why I would like to do it.

I'm Mariona Bond, I'm an adult and I have been working for another enterprise since I was 19 years old. The last years I have been working in Luxembourg Central Bank, until last October when I decided that was the moment to finish my relationship with this bank.

There was a collective dismissal and some employers had to leave the enterprise. For this reason, I decided to go out like a volunteer, because during this time, although I had a lot of things and I had a very good social and economical conditioins, there was something in my mind that I thought it was more important than this, and I believed it was the moment, the moment to fly away to get on the family business.

As someone of you know, my family has a business, a flower shop in Pommerloch. It's Bond's Flower Shop. This business had a large trajectory, since 1889 when my great-grandfather started to work like a gardener. After him, my grandparents followed the business and began to work like florists. While my grandfather specialized in funeral arrangements, my grandmother made weddings arrangements. I have grown in this environment, covered by flowers.

Then, my mum continued the business. She had studied Arts and this kind of work liked her, and some years later began my sister, too. She studied Floral Art and with her creative and her effort, that's how it became what it is today.

So, I would love to invest with my effort in something that I know I can do it. I have studied a Degree in Management and Business Administration, And I think I have management qualities to help the business, and I'm sure that it's the moment to do something there.

I have begun to do changes in the computerization of the management, doing the data base of customers, to improve the online Store, creating the webpage, increasing our presence in the network, and I'm sure, a lot of more things...

And that's all! Perhaps this is my next job...

So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.
