A Day in the Life

8112019 Job in canada - 15022015

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulljob-in-canada-15022015 2121

Itrsquos difficult to describe a typical day as a Program Assistant as the job variesso much from day to day As a program Assistant it is not unusual to getnumerous tasks to do throughout the day ndash with some that are higher prioritythan others

I usually start off by checking the mail first thing in the morning and then moveon to my incoming emails The majority of my emails require action so I like toget those completed first thing to ensure nothing gets over looked or forgotten

After Irsquove gone through my emails I move on to the correspondence (if any)by logging reviewing andor editing it for my Division The rest of my dayusually depends on what my co-workers have going on ndash Irsquove been in charge

of looking after putting together binders for different projects organizingmeetings ordering food or supplies etc

Itrsquos difficult to describe a typical day as a Program Assistant as the job variesso much from day to day As a program Assistant it is not unusual to getnumerous tasks to do throughout the day ndash with some that are higher prioritythan others

After Irsquove gone through my emails I move on to the correspondence (if any)by logging reviewing andor editing it for my Division The rest of my dayusually depends on what my co-workers have going on ndash Irsquove been in charge

of looking after putting together binders for different projects organizingmeetings ordering food or supplies etc
