July Part 1


Well the beginning of July was pretty intense. I will be starting some of my new responsibilities, which includes the preparation of exit interviews for co-op students, and the certification process of new employees. Right now I still feel very slow on excel, but I become more comfortable as time goes on.

I am still heavily involved in setting up interviews, but my efficiency is improving greatly. I found that I am able to multitask much better then before, and I am more confident when talking with candidates on the phone.
I find I do not have to say “I’ll get back to you with that information” to candidates as much as before, which is a good sign, I guess it means that I am learning.

Today Steve Craig came to visit me on site. It was kind of funny, because I have never actually met him before. The visit was more of a check up to make sure my supervisors were not flogging me. It was great to talk with him and tell him about all the things I have been working on. He also gave me some good advice!
There are two former U of L co-op students in HR, which is great because they can really relate to what I am going through right now.
I ordered lunch for both of us, and we ate with the rest of the HR staff. Steve had to take off after wards to meet some other co-op students in Red Deer.
I look forward to his next visit in October!
