I find in the education world those are not as clear cut and defended as the business world that I previously accustomed to. I was lucky enough, in both environment to have good coworkers that are willing to go the extra mile and collaborate."

We talked about how there differences of the jobs and people and how they are. I just want to say a special thanks for letting me intview her,]]> 2019-01-16 15:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321271418 21johnsonc2 https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321507924 Education level for my airport job was a college degree and 10 years of experience, I started with 8 years of experience and I find that I had a large learning curve on that job. On the education job that I currently have, I honestly don’t know, I think you needed a college degree]]> 2019-01-17 00:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321507924 21johnsonc2 https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321513679 With my airport job, day to day was very different, I attended chamber lunches, and networked throughout the community. I did a lot of PR, marketing and customer service, so I’m not exactly sure how to layout a specific day for you, in the job that I currently have in education, I am collaborating with supporting the teaching and learning director and about 5 other people also I work with teacher sometimes and do testing support throughout the district and managing budget, in the magnitude of about $3million.]]> 2019-01-17 01:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321513679 21johnsonc2 https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321520976 At my airport job, there was a definite collaboration with a group of 5-7 directors and we did it on a weekly basis, but also would talk to each other if we couldn’t figure things out on our own.  In the current job doing in education there is a lot of collaboration between the 3 support staff to make sure that the department is running the way it should be supported 5 people, well technically 7 in there daily activities.]]> 2019-01-17 02:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321520976 21johnsonc2 https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321534746 at the airport because I was a director level and interfacing with clientele and the public was business attire professional attire so business suit, pants, and a nice shirt, skirt, dress, Etc 
I am at the school district, it is business casual so I would say it's much more relaxed since I do not have one on one client contact with parents or students just internally collaborating with other professionals at the district office.]]> 2019-01-17 03:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321534746 21johnsonc2 https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321539448 very small staff who are all working together very closely so I don't find that we had a hierarchy that was very noticeable. We were all good friends and had a common goal and did well together. At the education job that I am in, I would say there's definitely hierarchy involved because I am in a role that does support multiple people and so I find that behavior probably is a little bit different. I do not voice my opinion as much since I am not a large contributor to the end product.]]> 2019-01-17 04:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321539448 21johnsonc2 https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321540262 For the airport job, it was a culture was just very oriented on the family. That came down from our boss who was very family oriented. Being happy at home helped us be productive at work. Education-wise is still very positive it's just a very different group of people that I work with which I think is just more relaxed  but not lazy just relaxed in that they just do what has always been expected and have a hard time thinking outside of the box and putting policies and procedures and processes in place that would help School District, in my opinion, a little better.

I would say the airport job probably was a little bit more flexible if I was not doing a community event. However, the education world has given me different flexibility because I also have two co-workers that support what I do, for example,  if I can't make it on time or I have to leave for something, they are able to pick up that slack]]> 2019-01-17 05:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321545547 21johnsonc2 https://padlet.com/21johnsonc2/ogjy8z3j90yq/wish/321545853 airport world, it is primarily men dominated. It is an old school mentality and lots of suits and ties from the male gender standpoint. luckily I didn't feel excluded because my boss who is male was very inclusive and included the women on his staff in everything that he possibly could. But when we were outside at the airport they were very accustomed to talking to only men and so it was a little bit more difficult to be a woman in that environment. I'm in the education environment that I'm in right now we are primarily all women in the department that I have. I think there are two men to us, 9 women and so I do not feel excluded in any way from that perspective, but I definitely have a different role than in the business environment.  I would say primarily if you look at our business office as a whole it is primarily women supporting either women directors or men directors, I don't think there are any men in the role of support staff.
