December consisted of a lot of catching up work from the previous hectic month of November. This included recruitment, follow-up with lawyers regarding investigations, and research, research, research!
It was surprising to note how much follow-up work was actually required with the recruitment process. Offer letters were sent out, rejection phone calls were made, sign on’s/paperwork/explanation of benefits, insurance, union rights, etc were carried out. I must admit that no matter how many times I do it, calling somebody to let them know that they were not a successful candidate is a pretty difficult task.
Due to the fact that we were having problems with recruiting HD Mechanics, we went through an agency to help us out. We were fortunate enough to find four HD Mechanics from Jamaica whom were more than qualified for the job. Currently, I am conducting research on immigration and sponsorship to understand the steps that we will need to take in order to help our Jamaican friends achieve a permanent resident status. I am also conducting research to note how effective incorporating Career Builder to our company would be.
Another task that kept me busy this month was the opportunity to head the lenal project. Our site is incorporating a new system and gate where all employees will eventually require a swipe card for access. I was put in charge for taking the pictures of our employees and compiling a list of employees that need to be placed into the system. It was a very interesting and fun task as I got to meet a lot of new people and put some faces onto names that I knew.
Overall, I am learning a lot at Teck. They are providing me with a lot of opportunity to experience and lots of room to explore. In the new year, I hope to be more involved in more projects and have the opportunity to complete jobs from the beginning to the end.
