As part of Careers 9, I got to spend the morning with my family friend’s dad, Robin Ashmore (CEO), at his company, All Purpose, in Vancouver. As you know from the video above, the assignment for this outing was to create a short video about our experience in the workplace. A few highlights from my experience were as follows:
- Getting to see Robin’s workplace. It’s an old bank, with amazing architecture, including hand carved wood ceilings and support beams. It also has an old bank vault… which I forgot to get a picture of, but it was really cool, trust me.
- Robin’s team members for taking time out of their day to talk to me about their jobs and roles and allowing me to get interviews from them. (Shoutout to Rebecca for having a jig-saw puzzle that I did some work on while waiting for Robin to finish up a meeting!)
- Getting to see the kind of workplace and job aspects of a field I’d love to work in somewhere down the road.
That’s it for this post, make sure to watch the video. Thanks for reading!
Wow! I liked the backdrops and your well- thought out questions. Did you get to see stuff they did online?
