My feedback on the Citizen Compass crowd-sourcing platform

The Citizen Compass initiative has been launched for almost two weeks! I have taken the time to participate in the Choicebook and have read several of the comments in the Idea Forum, have you? The Idea Forum topics range from services people would like to see online (adoption, passports) to apprehensions people have about the idea in general such as security.  I encourage you all to take the time to visit both of these sites as they are very informative and very intriguing. The only way to have a say, is to participate!

PwC wants your opinion on government eservices

Being a member of the generation Y group, my life revolves around the use of the internet. I pay bills through online banking, I enjoy shopping from the comfort of my own home, if I need to research something for work, or if I am simply looking for a recipe I tend to mutter the words “I’ll google that”. The reality is the internet affects my routine on a daily basis, does it affect yours? What if government service access was as easy as online banking or online shopping? What if you didn’t have to spend your lunch hour waiting in line to renew your driver’s license or renew your vehicle registration? And, what if you were kept up to date and aware of the services the government has available for you?

Stress Management

I have never been a big fan of the month of February. With February comes dark, dreary days, snow storms, and most of all high levels of stress. As a university student stress levels soar in the month of February due to the “midterm season”. I always thought if I can get through February I can survive this semester. Unfortunately stress is always a factor in life, and to this day I still am not a big fan of February because now I have replaced midterm stress with busy season stress. I have learned it doesn’t matter where you are in your life stress will always follow... so here are a few stress management points, that we should all keep in mind as we all try and get through February...

Women in Leadership

Last week marked a great event (which will hopefully turn into an annual tradition!) hosted by PwC to bring together women in the workforce to share a night of inspiration, networking, encouragement, and motivation.

This week in the Saint John Office...

This week in Saint John has been busy. On Sunday October 2nd, our office took part in the CIBC run for the cure. The team consisted of 13 fellow employees who all fought the rain and joined in a 5 K run. Our team successfully raised $2,000 and was a top online fundraising team. It was a great event and was enjoyed by all. This is one of the events our local office was committed to being a part of this year and has intentions to continue to support such a good cause. (Our office participates in many events throughout the year such as Movember as well)

Mastering the Interview

With interviews just around the corner, I thought I would share some of my personal interview experiences as well as some tips which I thought would be helpful for everyone.

A day in the life...

This week marks my second full week back to work after writing the UFE. This week I am out of the office at a client. I worked on the same job last year, in fact it was my first job as a full time hire when I started last September. Being on this job makes me remember how I felt on my first day...

It is that time of year again when students immerse themselves into a new school year! For graduating students this doesn’t just mean picking courses and enjoying the student life. For graduating students it means deciding what is next and if you’re seeking employment, where to apply.
