First day on the job, it was absolutely incredible. I got to meet everyone. Working at ESDC you can see the absolute passion these people have.
Going in, I think my perception of government work was that there is a lot of like policy analysis and kind of sitting at the desk and reading things. But in communications you're always on the go; things are always changing and you have to create new products.
My biggest surprise at ESDC was that I've been working a lot, very closely, with students, other students. Which I love because we are all in the same boat; we are all at the same position at the same time.
Everyone is really positive. There's a really positive atmosphere, and that made me feel like I was almost part of a family.
Because it's the federal government and it's bilingual, I noticed that my English really improved over the short time I've been here.
My favourite project that I've worked on was going to We Day in Ottawa; we were there specifically for this Facebook page, called Leaders Today which is about the youth of Canada.
One of my special projects was the Canada History Week tweets that I worked on. I did that start to finish and I collected the information about different events in Canadian accessibility history. We got a really good response on that, which is exciting.
What one of my favourite experiences of working here at ESDC was the youth hackathon. I had a lot to contribute to that. And I loved the fact that I could use my knowledge of, you know, youth and actually participate and make a big change.
The special project I worked on was the DM Awards. I was the lead for several aspects of the event, and that really gave me the chance to take initiative.
I think that this environment is very open to students and to new ideas, so if people are looking into government, I think ESDC is the place to be.
