Job Opportunity

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone is travelling along well at their placements.

The company I’m completing my placement with recently gave me a job opportunity and last Wednesday Rebecca Cole director of Networking WA took me out to lunch to discuss the particular roles I would be suited to in the organisation.

Firstly I’m going to discuss some of the issues presented throughout the company, and show how my new position will influence these issues becoming minimised. The structure of staff is a significant issue in the company; staff take up responsibilities and duties that are not specified in their role as there is always so much to do in the organisation, though this causes tasks to become hard to manage or forgotten about due to staff having so much on their plate their priorities become mixed up and mismanaged. The other major issue is time management, when aspects of the events or other tasks needing to be completed are left to last minute it causes stress to the staff and pressure to rush duties that need more time spent on them, this issue happens a lot in regards to events everyone in the office will be working so hard on one event that others are left to last minute and then rushed and not organised as best they should be.

As Rebecca and I both notice these issues she believed I would do a great job as project manager of the company and personal assistant to her as she believes that I am very organised and “bossy” when it comes to things needing to be done. Therefore I would be responsible for delegation of tasks to employees, making sure employees completed the tasks on time and followed up if necessary, this way things wont have been forgotten about or left to last minute and priorities will be in correct order as I will stay on top of everything. As well as this role I will also assist in the marketing and PR of events that the company organises.

In regards to the personal assistant role, I will assist Rebecca with her time management and help with correspondence to clients and customers with regards to email, telephone and meetings.

I am really looking forward to this position at the company; I will be working three days a week while finishing my uni degree.

I am also looking forward to the Fashion Icon High Tea that Networking WA is organising and the fashion festival opening launch luncheon (that Rebecca has kindly purchased a ticket for me) both events held next week during the fashion festival, both events are going to be so much fun and I look forward to sharing them with you all soon.

Hi all,


just thought I'd let you all know that as a result of my hard work and dedication, Jackson McDonald has decided to extend my contract and employee me as their Marketing & Events Administrator! I am thrilled with the news and excited by the career prospects they are offering me. Further to this I am expecting my first business cards tomorrow which embarrassingly enough I can't wait for!


I have found the last three months have encapsulated so many different area's of business that I would never have even thought of trying. I find myself in positions of power where they trust in my ability to perform and encourage me to make decisions based on my own industry knowledge and experience. It's really empowering and satisfying to have a company of such high status support me.


It's also extremely interesting to bring forth public relations theory and principles to an industry that is relatively modest and conservative. I am now apart of our Community Committee which supports several charitable organisations such as Guide Dogs WA (who we are sponsoring for the upcoming City to Surf for Activ), The Red Cross, JDRF and several others. My creative side and writing ability is really relied upon here and it's great to know I'm making a difference in an industry you might least expect it.


I hope you are all enjoying your placements!


Kind regards,
Catie
