As I mentioned in my previous post, I have shadowed Mr. Sharma’s assistant, Kayla. I continued doing this and I help her out with little things, like continuing to work on those forms I mentioned earlier that I put into the new format. I have learned a lot about the application process and then what Kayla and Mr. Sharma do in relation to the applicants that they’re interested in. I’ve also learned about the different parts of the company and what they do and need in their workers through shadowing Kayla. More generally, I’ve witnessed just how monotonous reviewing applications can be and what the more appealing applicants look like. I wouldn’t trust myself to pick someone out, but I am getting more used to recognizing what Kayla looks at and for.
I also sat in on an orientation today for a new worker. He went through and signed a bunch of paperwork in relation to financial stuff and contracts with the company. After that, another one of the women came in and introduced ADB “culture.” This included a lot of talk about safety, which they take very seriously, and also about communication and their intent to do all of their work “all in.” They took that from a speaker who inspired the Giants late in their season in 2011 so tremendously that it eventually led them to win the Super Bowl. It basically talks about commitment to the team or whatever it is that you’re a part of. ADB has taken that too and it was super neat to hear about in the orientation.
I’m getting to know the people in the office more and more and everyone is super interesting and nice. It’s strange to think that I only have one more week after this. The days have gone by so quickly.
Tomorrow, I will do a little more work with Kayla and then I’ll sit in on an interview with a potential new hire. I’ll also go to a weekly collaborating meeting with Kayla and some other people. Then, there’s a presentation/lesson about workplace violence. I’m not sure what that means but I’ll learn tomorrow. I’ll be done for the day after that.
