Describe the work activities you participated in during the day.
During this day I helped my work-placement supervisor Brie, work out Venues for an upcoming event she was organisigng for ACP magazines. We spent may hours looking for places around Sydney's CBD to hold the event and made many phone calls. After this was done I helped her do some filing and filling out her calendar for the month, as she explained to me the importance of management in her job. I was then asked to view the company website to get a grasp of what its all about.

List the tools and equipment you used during the day.
There was no tools and equipment used during this day, other than a computer

List the Employability Skills you developed during work activities. Explain the context of the activity and the corresponding employability skill. (What did you do/achieve?)

I learnt the skills of cooperation, working as a team and adjusting to new situations and experiences

Describe any difficulties/ new issues that have challenged you in your day at work placement and what you learnt in those situations. What skills did you develop?

During this day on work placement I found is quite difficult to locate a venue for the event Brie was holding, I realised that events management takes time and is not as easy as it seems. I learnt to be patient and open to ideas.

Describe what you enjoyed about work today.
I enjoyed being in a laid back environment, not having anyone really dictate to me but rather work along side me

Describe what you have to follow up for tomorrow at work.
I do not have to follow up anything at work tomorrow as I will be helping out at a Cleo magazine event
