Day 8
AUGUST 11TH
Have you ever seen the inside of a computer? Well today Becky and I were working with the engineers of the company who are in charge of the help desk and we got shown what their job basically consists of. Did you know that only men work in this part of a company? Now I need that "you go girl!!" feeling back! Also, have you ever been in a servers room?
Later we had afternoon tea. I feel like it's great that even during lunch, it's not boring, there was always something to funny or interesting to talk about, infact, the female members were talking about their career choices as a child and how their career paths lead to working in Globoforce. It was full of laughter and the luckiness of being in such a nice company, hit me again. We were also given cute little pastries, talk abut mini carrot cakes!! (I should've taken a picture of them but I mean, I think that would be too much)
After the cute session, we got to work with a software engineer. She would explain to us what she was doing, task by task. We got to see her work in action, and it was gripping to see a diligent woman, so dedicated to her work and trying to piece out whatever her task is. It's refreshing seeing women doing these things. (inserts "we can do it!" poster)
Also, being 16 and able to relate to work related Facebook posts,
is pretty cool.

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI am really loving your blogs. It's sad to hear that no women work in some areas of the company but hopefully teen-turn will help change that, right? I'm glad that you are getting to meet women in technical roles and feeling part of the team.
Thank you Catrina!Yeah, I was pretty sad about it, as I'm sure women are capable of doing these jobs. Teen Turn will hopefully "turn" things around :)Thanks again for your comment!
