How do you feel about working at the Senate?
I really enjoyed working at the Senate, in part, because I didn’t feel like I was simply a student hired to help out for a couple of months. Rather, I was made to feel like I was a part of the team, which I have to say works very well together.
What is the best thing about working at the Senate?
The best thing about working at the Senate is the practical work experience I gained. During my high school coop, I worked in many different sections of IT, which made me realize my preferences in this field and consequently helping make the right decisions about my studies and future career.
What has been your greatest contribution to date?
My greatest contributions to date are:
- I did software updates on employees’ computer systems
- I ensured that all the laptops are up-to-date and ready to be used
- I updated the mobile phone inventory
What has the Senate given you?
Working at the Senate has been an unforgettable experience. I was given the opportunity to work in a professional office environment as well as the opportunity to improve my communications skills –over the telephone and in person.
Would you consider the Senate as a potential employer following your studies? Why?
I would be more than happy to work with the Senate IT team again. They take their work seriously but also know how to have fun at work.
