From intern to junior
supervisor
Hey all,
From the last post revealing to you how I secured my public relations internship, today my blog
will be mainly about my shift from intern to take the role of a junior
supervisor at Odigos Guiding Services.
Three weeks after
joining Odigos Team, I was requested to take charge of four students of the
Hotel School of Mauritius and to assist them into their travel & tourism
project at the office. Their project
included the creation of a questionnaire that would be both suited for onsite
and online interviewing. The theme of doing this survey was to evaluate the
profession of tour guides in Mauritius, that is, how professional are the practitioners
within the tourism industry and what could be done to raise awareness of such a
career. The aim was to question visitors
and professionals in the tourism industry about the standards and availability
of the guiding profession in Mauritius.
In order to target many groups and individuals within the industry, the
creation of an online survey was deem necessary.
I first attempted to
create the survey on SurveyMonkey.com but there was a restriction of adding
only ten questions in the questionnaire. Since the tour guide’ survey contained
more than ten questions, the first attempt failed, resulting in a second
attempt. This particular time, I had
made use of the platform eSurv.org where I had created the survey both in
English and in French. The only limits
were the representations of static pages, when filling in the survey. Images and logo were not inserted so as to
ensure the questions were answered anonymously and without biased reactions.
Duties also included follow-ups to those students who were of similar age as myself. This particular trust that Odigos had confined in me had boosted my confidence and encouraged me to perform even better.
Would you like to tell me the thing that had boosted your confidence at work?
