Nothing like a Dazzling experience

     That's no better way to spend your summer than acquiring experience and making new connections. As part of my program, I had to look for a co-op to aggregate some practical skills. After a few applications and interviews as well, I was hired by DazzleDeals, a discount coupon start-up company.

     As every position we have to face with some "required skills". Communication, Microsoft Office suite knowledge, strategic thinking and many more. In fact, what we can extract from a co-op is far more than just hard skills. In this new environment we learn how to deal in different situations, negotiate or approach people in different moods or behaviors.

     Last four months were filled with knowledge and practice. In a multicultural country like Canada, it is not a surprise that my bosses where not from here. For me that was one of the greatest points of season. Plus an amazing experience, I could learn more about other cultures. I confess that I felt a little bit shy and being pushed in the beginning, but in the end definitely was a gratifying result. Let's see what next summer has reserved for me.
