~My Take Your Kid To Work Day Experience~

Hello!

Yesterday was take your kid to work day, and now i have to write about it.

I went to CICC Computers Inc. Its a computer store owned by my mom's friend. So I went with her, the manager. At the store, I greeted customers, and observed how they would sell products to them. I couldn't help at selling customers because my knowledge in computers (parts, programs) is extremely MINIMAL! I got treated to lunch, and I also was able to go on the computer. I also did some paper work, and filing. (fun! XD)

I really cannot see myself owning a computer store, or working as job HIGHLY related to computers, like networking or as a sales. I don't see my self in this field because i know my knowledge in this area is very low, and also finding good jobs in this area is also hard. I also know that this work is very tedious, and i would like a job that i enjoy doing, and I am not so interested in computer(parts etc etc.)

I would have LOVED to go to a secretarial job, such as working with an assistant in a doctor's office, or any office. I would have liked to go to City Hall, or to a Bank - where many people went to. I would like to do a hands on job.

Future jobs i think i might do, is follow in the steps of my mom or dad. They work in financial area and also the chemistry area(pharmaceutical area). If I follow my mom, I would like to be a pharmasist, or if i go with my dad, there are many choices .

From this experience, i learned that working a sale, you need to know a variety of things. Not only the product or area you work in ,but also topics you can talk about with your customers.
In this workplace, the people are very friendly, and helpful. They try their best to assist the customers with whatever they need. Skills I learn in school that help with this field, included languages (french,english and chinese) because you must be able to talk with the customers.

Take your kid to work day was exteremly fun, i hope in the future we get to experience it again. Maybe even as Co-op.
