Career Pilot - Work Experience Reflections

My work experiences was pretty interesting and I've never done anything like it before. I also didn't have that much to do other then socializing with event attendees and other volunteers. Out of the 32 hours that I was volunteering I only actively worked for about 6 hours, the rest of the time I was just drifting around asking the senior volunteers if they needed help with anything, or attending the presentations. I did enjoy my time there though. The presentations at the event were really cool and some of the topics like PC building and games development related to my interest. I was a little stressed on the first day because I felt lazy and though that I wasn't pulling my weight because I was pretty much sitting down doing nothing for the whole day. But on the second and last day I calmed down and didn't have those feelings.

I really liked working at the event and I got along really well with the other volunteers. I also really enjoyed talking to the events attendees and had a couple of really good conversations with some of them. In my previous jobs I always had trouble communicating with others, and I could never really hold a conversation. So I guess something that I learned about myself while doing this placement is that my communications skills have really improved since I last worked.

The work space was pretty large. The event took place at the Chisholm Frankston campus in building D and building W. The main events and presentations took place in building D, while work shops, e-sports, VR and smaller presentations took place in building W. Going back and forth between these buildings took about 2 and half minutes each way. The week of the event was also really cold so walking back and forth between the two buildings got annoying very quickly. Building D was also very cold because it didn't have heating and the rooms were so large. The main stage area in building D was also a warehouse all of its windows were open, making the place even more cold.

My duties at the event were registering and signing in event attendees, handing out and collecting raffle tickets, telling attendees where to go and what the schedule for the day is if they needed help, cleaning, and moving objects.

From what you told me over messenger and face to face its hard to determine what to comment about, I won't go into details but I hope you succeed in life and can break past being a puny human.

Heeey, Nice post you got there, its really really really goooooooooood, it almost looks a little familiar, but I can't seem to place my thoughts anywhere, anyways, cool words and so on and so forth...

1) The employability skill I used the most would probably be either communication or problem solving, probably communication as I spent a good lot of my time asking for guidance on how to do stuff correctly as well as with helping customers to the best of my abilities.
2) In retail I believe the best skill is Teamwork and communication are the best skills as they are the most used, but I guess problem solving is a good skill to have as well as you will need to solve customers inquiries.
3) Well it all depends on the person and their willingness to learn, but for some people this skills just come naturally from growing up with their personalities.
