MY SUMMER EMPLOYMENT WAS THE BEST

Hello, hello!
For anyone new to my blog series, my name is Courtney Jackson, and I am a fourth-year student at Lakehead University (LU) in Thunder Bay, enrolled in the Honours Bachelor of Science in Forestry! This past summer I was employed at Resolute Forest Products as their Woodlands Operations Intern in Thunder Bay, and it was one of the best experiences in my life! If you’re interested in reading about my summer experiences, please feel free to read my previous blogs posted on The Greenest Workforce webpage.
Now that the summer has passed, and fall has arrived, I’ve been back at school studying forestry, and I love it! My summer employment at Resolute Forest Products has already enhanced my learning at LU because I can relate to the curriculum. My knowledge of forestry is much more in depth now that I have gained hands-on experiences working in the forest products industry.
Summer employment is one of the most beneficial opportunities for a student! It is an opportunity to learn, enhance and diversify knowledge. It can also assist an individual in identifying whether that summer employment opportunity is something of interest post-graduation. When applying for employment, I recommend applying for as many positions as possible to enhance the success in obtaining employment. Even if you feel like you do not possess all the qualifications listed in a job advertisement, do not hesitate in applying! You never know what the future holds, and if you are successful in obtaining an interview, then you are one step closer to obtaining the position! Always believe in yourself, be open-minded and willing to learn because there is a tremendous amount of opportunities in this world, and the best way to learn about yourself is to learn through experience.
Please go check out my blogs if you’re interested in learning about my summer experiences as a Woodlands Operations Intern at Resolute Forest Products. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them!
TTFN,
CJ
