I went to my dad’s work and did a lot of different activities. I went out for lunch to a restaurant. I did a resume learning workshop and practiced getting a job interview with some other kids doing what i was doing. I had many presentations from several different workers at the law firm. There was a variety of jobs, such as accountants, lawyers, and HR. We had a tour of the office, which was three floors in a very big office building downtown. I learned a lot while at this visit and I am happy I had the opportunity to do it.

1. Who are you going to work with?

What did you hear, see, smell, and feel in the work environment on Nov. 1st?

I heard a lot of printers. I saw a few people, but quite a few empty desks. I saw a very big office building. I felt a bit shocked at first, but after a little while I felt quite normal. I could not smell anything out of the ordinary, that is it all smelled like my usual environment.

What about the environment would motivate you to wake up every day to attend work?

The people there are very nice and easy to talk to. There is a very nice view of some mountains. There are many nice and fun activities just outside the office.

What about the work environment would discourage you from waking up every day to attend work?

The office and desks are quite bland and somewhat depressing. You have to stay cooped up in your office or at your desk for most of the day. There is no colour and even the artwork does not look very good.

What is ONE thing you found interesting about your workplace visit?

The office I went to had a shower room on one of their floors for just their employees. They also had a small meditation or rest room that you can visit.

Today I went to father`s work, McMillan LLP, the greatest law firm in the world because my dad is a partner and heads the technology law group.
