week of March 26-29

Learning at the workplace is different then learning at school because when you are in the workplace you actually know what it is like to work there. When you are learning something in school they teach you how to do everything and what to do, but you just dont know exactly what your getting yourself into until you work at the actual workplace. I enjoy learning about, the gas rates how they fluxuate every month and how you can protect your rates by signing up to a price protection plan with our company so your always paying the same price.

Week of March 5 - 9

This week was a slow week here at direct energy. This week i answered the phones and scheduled people to come in for interveiws. I am enjoying this job so far. I like everyone who works here, and i also like that its an office job, even though sometimes it gets a little boring. I have my own cubicle and i think that i coulkd see myself working in an office job later on in life.

week of February 26- March 2

This week at coop went by fairly quickly. I think that the job placement is easier then i anticipated. I dont really do any hard work. Right now im just being a receptionist and answering the phones. Everyone that works here is nice. It is an office so I have to dress formal. I enjoy this job, it is a good placement for me. Being ready at my placement means having all the application forms ready for interveiws and having a cheery voice on the phone. But overall my second week on the job was pretty good
