Summer House happenings: Burges Salmon

     Well I was supposed to go to Antigua for summer holidays, as I usually do however this year I really wanted to move up in the work environment. So I applied here there and everywhere for a summer job. I was not successful and to some extent I felt alot resentful that I didn't even get to the interview stage. However It was not to be and the lord had another plan in store for me. My university has recently launched an intern ship scheme and I applied for one particular job which caught my eye, Operations and Project management intern. Whoop whoop now anyone who has ever studied operations management will know it is the most tedious subject to study for. 

      I am intrigued with all of these little processes which make the business successfully turnover. Also in my many years as an employee I have found that many employers are only concerned with the finished product. They forget all the background work which goes into making that product and from this is where you get resentful staff, poor performance and high levels of staff turnover. Even the packaging and the way customers are treated falls under operations management. I prayed and prayed and prayed, I believed that I was meant to have this internship and when I got the call I was soooooooooooo ecstatic and overjoyed.

      I bought a new skirt navy blue with with a military style front from H&M, paired it with a navy blue and white shirt with contrast collar and cuffs. I looked amazing. I had no idea where the place was so I left home an hour early (the importance of a trail run). I wound up being 45 minutes early but this was my dream job in the making so who was counting. The interview went smoothly I answered the questions with relevant examples taken from my previous experience in other forms of employment, spoke a bit about myself and why I was the ideal candidate for this position. My interview was 20 minutes long it was at 12 and by 3.17pm she called me to inform me I had received the job. :)

Prepare yourself for your future, your destiny is your creation
