Challenging and fulfilling
Projects Administrator (Former Employee) – Fort McMurray, AB – 16 July 2018
Day to day was meeting deadlines, exceptional customer service and meeting all guidelines set forth by the company.
Constantly multi-tasking & prioritizing the abundance of projects given daily. Continually updating procedures and processes to fit everyday workload.
Hardest part of the day was realizing that all jobs may not be done in one day, that it's okay to complete it the next day if another job supersedes it's priority.
Best part of the day was meeting new people and working with a great group of people. They are still my friends today.

Senior Buyer (Contract) (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 14 July 2018
Jacobs is a multi cultural company that has great leadership.
Management is very supportive and easy to deal with.
A typical day started with team management meetings, so everyone knew exactly what was going on with the projects we were dealing with. The hardest part of the job was tracking down people for signatures that were required to process orders. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with a great bunch of people and always learning.
