I am hoping to get into radio like my mom and dad.]]> 2021-02-05 18:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1169759327 What are my hobbies that I can use for this job? 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174094694 I really enjoy music, and the history of music which is super important if you want to work in radio promotion. I also am pretty sociable and I can work social media really well.]]> 2021-02-07 18:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174094694 What is the job? 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174112194 A radio promotion and marketing manager is something you work towards, you start lower down like being a radio host for a small station and work your way up. The job is basically o try to raise the profile of their radio station. They do this by participating in events that will spark people's attention. They also tell the radio stations what songs to play to help raise the profile of the station through their artists.]]> 2021-02-07 18:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174112194 Volunteer and Community 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174184117 I have volunteered for a run that was done by southlake hospital. This helped me learn about the community because I was outside handing water out to the runners and cheering them on. I got to see so many people who cared about the cause of the run and it made me feel better about the world.]]> 2021-02-07 18:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174184117 Future Goals 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174188756 Co-op will help with my future goals of going to College and doing what I would enjoy. I think that it will be a great learning experience, and will teach me more about radio so I wont be so confused going into college.]]> 2021-02-07 18:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174188756 Online Learning 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174199195 I find online learning really hard sometimes because I would rather be hands on and I find myself unmotivated often. I do enjoy not having to walk and bus everyday, because it gives me time to eat before class. I have learned a lot more about certain websites like google classroom and google meet.]]> 2021-02-07 19:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174199195 “Regret is a sign that you’re paying attention. You detected the problem. What is the next step?” 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174204840 Last semester I found it really easy to be distracted at home by many different things, and because of this I kept falling behind in classes. I always felt bad after spending a class on my phone or doing something else, so I started getting out of bed every day and sitting at my desk which helped.]]> 2021-02-07 19:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174204840 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174220165 Here is a picture of me at the Universal Music office in Toronto]]> 2021-02-07 19:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1174220165 As a result of the co-op experience, have your post-secondary pathway plans changed or remained the same? 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621754122 After a few weeks at Stylist & co. I thought that my secondary pathway plans had for sure changed and I wanted to be a hairstylist, but after thinking it over, my dream to work in radio and records is something that I don't think I will change. ]]> 2021-06-23 14:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621754122 How do you see jobs at your co-op placements changing in the future? 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621758592 In the field of hairstyling, it is unlikely everything will be done by technology like many other jobs in the future because people don't fully trust machines to cut their hair (I know I wouldn't). However, throughout the years hair styles have changed and lost popularity, so there is always something new at the job.]]> 2021-06-23 14:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621758592 What advice would you give yourself going into this co-op placement again, or to others going into this co-op placement, next year? 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621764197 This question is actually pretty hard to answer because this year was so much different than anticipated due to COVID-19. Although, my advice would be to stay positive and push through it. You may have some rough days or some slow days but you have to remember this is only the beginning and a small portion of the full job. Ask questions, and remember that you are not stuck doing this job forever if you don't like it.]]> 2021-06-23 14:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621764197 What made you excited to return to your co-op placement each day? 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621770725 The people. Cassandra and her team at the salon were so kind to me and treated me like I had worked there for years. I always felt welcome and had no worries when I stepped into the salon. I also really enjoyed how different co-op is compared to normal in class learning.]]> 2021-06-23 14:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621770725 What strengths/weaknesses and skills did you discover through this experience? 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621774783 My time at the salon was short, but some strengths are that I can braid hair and get along in a positive (yet busy) work environment. I did discover that I need to work on being social and using my voice more with customers. Wearing masks all the time does not help this though.]]> 2021-06-23 14:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621774783 What was one thing you learned during the in-class portion of co-op? 340973411 https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621779997 I actually learned many things but one thing that stood out the most to me was when we learned about different types of wages and pay. I didn't really know details about paid sick leave until after this class. I also really liked talking about global issues because I like hearing people's opinions. ]]> 2021-06-23 14:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/340973411/r3mr7uig6tekasjf/wish/1621779997
