Young adviser - working with CRAE
Its Charlie here, I am currently on my last day of being a CRAE young adviser and its going to end up being very hard to go back to my normal daily routine, Even though I have had early commute I have enjoyed nearly every minute of the working days here. I was given very clear tasks but have learnt so much from just this experience. It was great working in the office with all the CRAE staff and working on different projects.
Over the month that I have worked at CRAE (well 42 hours in about 30 minutes) I have only had two bad things. The first was arriving too early and not being able to get into the building and the other was the constant shoulder pain from slouching. That was a lesson in itself. But the subway trips and post-it notes kept me going. Mostly having the staff there for support for my work was the best thing that could have helped.
The work load was very fair, I’m not going to say it was easy but with the pay I don’t think they can let us have it for nothing. From all the work I did and press release and work plans I gained something from everything learning new facts and skills over the month.
Now going back to boarding school tomorrow I am just can’t wait to tell people everything that I have learnt and about what the entire experience was like. I advise to all of you to look out for the bulletins and adverts next year and apply to become an adviser. You can learn a lot from just doing a few hours a day but this experience has truly set me up for my future jobs.
