Portrait of the synthetic persona Jacqueline Pfeiffer

Jacqueline Pfeiffer

Retraining as a nursing assistant (care stipend) · previously deputy branch manager, shoe-and-sports retail chain (around 70 stores) · Steyr, Upper Austria

◆ Synthetic persona — not a real human Life-World: The Strivers · Stability & Advancement Decides: rational 31 yrs · Austria

At 31, Jacqueline Pfeiffer trades the cash drawer for a class schedule: after twelve years in shoe and sports retail, most recently as deputy branch manager, she is retraining as a nursing assistant through the care stipend, internship and weekend side job included. Steyr-Resthof is her world, a budget with no room for surprises — and the resolve to decide for herself, this time, how things go on.

Tech affinity
She uses technology when it genuinely makes everyday life simpler: an ordinary smartphone, a WhatsApp group with the course, online banking for her own two accounts. She tried the AMS’s online appointment calendar once and has gone back to calling the office directly ever since, because she gets a confirmation faster on the phone; new tools on placement, by contrast, she picks up quickly, because there is someone standing right next to her showing her how.
Defining bias
Every euro has a slot in her head before it is spent — money from the side job counts differently to her than the monthly stipend, even though both land in the same account. She would never pay for a class trip out of the food slot, even if there happens to be more sitting in it than in the others.
How she decides
Works out what a decision costs and what it brings before agreeing to anything, leaning on what she has already experienced herself; someone else’s recommendation alone isn’t enough for her. With new systems or offers she stays skeptical at first and needs a concrete, understandable explanation before she switches over.
