Kurt Mitchell 2013 Accomplishments
The year has come to an end and it’s been a fantastic year. I’ve achieved and experienced things a typical 17 year old doesn’t really get the chance to do. Last year, when I turned 16. I immediately started looking for a job. I eventually found one. It wasn’t the ideal job from my perspective, but it was a job from which I could gain experience. At one point I took on a second job as well at 16 years old. By managing those two jobs I gained time management skills and most importantly, learned about being responsible. For the summer I had to cancel all of my social plans because of the two jobs I had. I worked one job from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. then the other job from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Those jobs prepared me for the job I currently have, working at BNY Mellon for Terence Law. I have only been here for at least three months and I have gained knowledge I didn’t have prior to these three months. When I first started working here, I had never worked for a company like BNY Mellon or knew what it was like to work in the business world. I always had a passion to work in the business world and I am deeply and sincerely appreciative of the opportunity presented to me in 2013.
My first week here I met some of my co-workers and we introduced ourselves and got to know each other. The next week I was given a workspace, computer and phone. I was told what my responsibilities were for this job and things I have to do on a daily basis. I had no problems doing the majority of them after learning. I just had one problem which was answering the phone. As I wasn’t really taught how to answer a phone in the business world so I had struggled completing that task. After a week I caught on to answering the phone by listening to my peers around me. I’ve learned many things since I started working here. I learned to do call reports, overnight mailings, outside messenger coordination,
