Weekly Assistant Duties

Each week I am given various tasks perfect for an assistant

September 25, 2023

As the major events slow down after the bustling summer months, I find myself completing various tasks fro Philip. In my role as an assistant, it is important to have a strong understanding of a supervisor's calendar. By obtaining this skill, I have grown in my organizational expertise. With this in mind, I am often updating Philip's Google calendar with the weekly meetings and upcoming events. Recently, I added each Men's basketball game. This addition is widely imperative as Alumni Engagement plans pre-game events for alumni all across the country. For example, they host a pre-game party in Portland, Oregon when the Saint Mary's Gaels face the Portland Pilots. The parties require careful planning, each state has an alumni representative who helps plan the event.

Within this internship, I have the ability to work closely with my supervisor. I am so thankful for such an opportunity. No matter what the task is, I feel like I am always learning something valuable. Philip offers genuine advice and meaningful skills which will serve me well in the future.

Hospitality Hack: Listen to others. You will always learn something new!

Through every task completed, I have gained new skill, advice, or lesson. Without listening attentively, I would miss the countless pieces of advise and important workplace skills. Communicating and building a relationship with my supervisor has made my experience far more beneficial!
