Today was my first day working on my first practicum, it was a little scary at first, but hey, who doesn't get scared with new experiences. My first practicum actually has two parts to it, one working for the human resources department for 10 days then for my last 10 days working for the IT department. Oh, and did I mention that I am working for the municipality, wonder what future employers will think when they see that I worked for a municipality. So I was shown around the office by my practicum host to meet everyone and to get a feel for everything.
After he was done showing me around he showed to a desk, thats right, how many of my classmates can say that they got their own for a practicum. Although the desk belongs to someone who is away sick for a while (I hope he is doing better), it is still nice that I get a desk to work at.
Today my job was to look through every link on the Human Resources page to check for dead links or stuff that should fixed. Overall the page was pretty good, a few problems were found noted though. The one I thought was the weirdest and funniest glitch was that there was a linked that worked, but when you opened up the page (it was a link to a BC Provincial Government web page actually) the page was basically a website with no CSS or any design to it.
A couple other things I was told was that I will going out with the Bylaw Enforcement Officers for a day to see how they operate and what they do. Also, Wednesday next week I believe, I will be helping out a lady in the office printing and filing dog license renewal forms, so not the funnest or most related to IT work ever, but at least it is fairly easy to do.
So until tomorrow, have a good night readers.
