Employment activity related to global competency development
In the summer of 2018, I completed the Student Work Experience Program (SWEP) at the prestigious Fairmont Banff Springs in Banff, Alberta. During my seasonal, full-time employment I not only got the chance to interact with guests from all over the world but I trained and worked alongside an extremely large and multicultural team. This was my first introduction to working in a professional setting with a diverse group of people and it was a very valuable experience. I learned about how to manage differing cultural work ethics and how to engage in open, effective and appropriate interactions with people from other backgrounds.
