CHCI-Walmart Shadow Day
The day I spent at Walmart shadowing my mentor was a valuable experience. I got the chance to see what it was like in a day in the life of an industry professional. I was able to see first hand the types of things and meetings executives take part in on a daily basis. My mentor provided me with guidance regarding the business climate and how to deal with certain situations that arise. I also found out how he got started in his career and how he advanced. In my future career, I will always be sure to represent the company I work for in a positive light. I will also keep the values of the company in mind as a key determinate of the decisions I make for that company. A valuable lesson I learned was that even if a person has the best ideas it doesn't matter unless that person knows someone in charge to share those ides with. Ideas are useless without a way to actually implement them. These are a few of the key takeaways I got from participating in the CHCI-Walmart Shadow Day and from my mentor. This was an experience that I will never forget and I am very appreciative that the people at Walmart took the time to mentor me.
