Happy Halloween!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! So in honor of Halloween being on Friday I found this video of Vans employees having fun. For me this video shows and proves that not every work place needs to be uptight and have no fun. Showing employees that they can have a relaxed day at the work place and be yourself is one of the ways to actually have a successful business. It proves to your employees that you actually care about them and want them to enjoy the holiday as much as you do.

1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

I plan on doing more mentorship with my mentor. So I plan on continuing what it is that I am doing right now, which is helping with sales and figuring out how much money should be spent when ordering more supplies.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

   

   I plan on taking photographs of picking up shipment, and the budgeting that I help with.

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

     This will help me explore my topic more simply by me shadowing and observing as well as helping here and there in this business. I'm already learning that it actually takes a lot just to manage even this small business, so many different number figures and so many meetings that my mentor is constantly in and out of. I've learned that it will take hard work and determination to really go far in this career.
