Why don't you talk about what your favorite part of your first week was?
Having already experienced one co-op, I know how important a positive work environment is. SHM’s accepting and friendly employees have done nothing, but illustrate a fun, healthy workplace. Knowing that I will be at a company who respects one another on a professional and personal level is an aspect that adds to that positive environment. Meeting new people and learning about them is something I enjoy. So, my favorite part of the week would be meeting all the employees of SHM and hearing about their experiences, both in and out of the corporate world. The Personal 101 sessions with various employees granted us the opportunity to attain some knowledge of our co-workers and gain some useful information we could apply throughout our co-op.
What was overwhelming?
Overwhelming is an overstatement. Work is work; so I anticipated the learning of unfamiliar information and procedures. However, it has definitely been an adjustment week. The orientation of new systems such as iMIS and 5pm were probably the most difficult tasks we were assigned. Understanding those systems are imperative, for they are essential for a majority of the projects. Ultimately, nothing was too overwhelming in the end and I eagerly await opportunities to apply my newly acquired knowledge to assignments throughout the marketing department.
What went just right?
As I expected when I accepted the job offer from SHM, everything is going over extremely well. From the people to the facilities, SHM is definitely an awesome place to gain experience and grow as a professional. Also, discovering more about hospitalists and learning about how much the company has an impact on enhancing the care patients get in hospitals is rewarding. Having an influence on health care and helping others in need is rare in the area of marketing. And that is why I find the company and co-op position unique to others and absolutely sets itself apart.
