Week of April 23 - 27

This week was fun. My parents think that my co-op placement is a great way to find out what the job is actually like because its one thing to read about the occupation its another thing to actually work in the field. Some oppurtunities i have had here is working as an assistant to a manager and i see what the managers have to do on a daily basis. To succeed in this career i would have to become more patient, because i get all figgity during the day froms itting down for so long.

Today i answered the phones and set up interviews for next week. It has been a boring day and i cant wait to get out of this office and into the nice weather. Theres not really much to do so i am just helping with filing and organizing everything for the independant agents that work for this office.

April 23

Today there is no interviews because all this week we are doing renewals on the energy contracts and we only have til April 30th to do so, so they arent training anyone or interviewing people this week. I also had the worst trip to work because half of the subway line was shut down due to a problem at lawerence atation so it took me 2 hours to get here today.

week of April 16 - 20

this week was a good week. I did a lot and i think that i do a lot for this company just by helpiung out the head secretary because she does a lot so i kind of lessin the load on her. Its also been kind of a boring week. I could not be a secretary for the rest of my life, i would b to bored sitting around all day.

Today i photocopied and high lighted a whole bunch of application forms and sorted them out. I also put together binders with all the information about the door-to- door sales job for the agents that have their first day in the field tommorow. I spent the rest of the day catching up on my log sheets and blogs. So sorry i didnt keep up with them i forgot. But they are now up to date so i hope everything is okay.

April 16 2007

Today i helped out with all the applicants getting them organized and seating them while we waited for the hiring managers who were late. I also typed up the online training course. Im not exactly sure of the reason why i need to type out the training program, but im doing it because they told me too.

week of April 10 - 13

This week i learned that, you have to have patience when talking with prople because when they are from a different nationality sometimes they dont understand certain things that you say and you just have to be persistant with it until they understand. I am expected to make decisions at work like, where to sit everyone when there is a line for interviews. I am also supposed to make decisions such as when to schedule people for interviews. I am half way through my co-op experience and i am feeling a little bit frustrated and tired from sitting in thsi chair all day, and what i have decided is that an office job is okay for some people but i dont think i can see myself doing this for the rest of my life. Its to boring i need to be up and moving.

April 13th 2007

Today I helped out with getting everything prepared for the following week. I photocopied a lot and highlighted a lot. I also typed up most of the online training course. So far its been an okay week.

April 12 2007

April 10 2007

Today i did not come into work.

Week of April 2 -5

This week was not a bad week it was a shortened week because of easter weekend. I deal with critisism at my work constructively, such as when someone tells me im not doing something right or my tone of voice is wrong i take it into consideration and try out what they have told me to do. I dont get mad when someone critisises me because it wont help the situation its better to be calm and just try to make it work. My supervisor expects me to be cheery and polite on the phone and quick when i am handing out the application forms to the applicants. And she also wants me to be quick when i collect the applications form with their resume.

April 5 2007

Today is the last day before the easter break and i am helping them with interviews and answering the phones to schedule interviews. Im excited for the long weekend. It will give me time to relax.
