A typical working day

 

The HAK Bregenz had the opportunity to participate 6 times in Language Excahnge Ireland. A very important part of the Language Exchange program is that we have to work in different companies for a month The programs provide an opportunity to develop conversational English in fun, relaxing social environments. 

 

I decided to work in a hotel. My work placement in Ireland was the "Woodford Dolmen Hotel" in Carlow.  My best friend Sarah worked in the same hotel.

 

My typical working day started at 9:30 a.m. and ended at 16.30 p.m.!

OFFICE

At the office we also started at 9.30 a.m. 

 and ended at 16.30 p.m.. But there was no fixed workflow in the office. We had different tasks every day. 

we have tasks like:

FILING

TYPING

DEBTOR LEDGER (inputting Invoices/Credit Notes/reconciliating receipts from Deports) 

CREDITOR LEDGER (inputting Invoices/Credit Notes/reconciliatingpaymants of Creditors/issuing Cheques)

REPORTS (reconciliation of trading accounts) 

PAYROLL(inputting hours/rates of pay) 

GENERAL (Administration(Office duties)

 

 

In summary, it was a very nice month. The work was sometimes very stressful, but overall I had a very nice work team with whom I had a lot of fun and also they furnished me in the field of "tourism" how to work in a hotel and to deal with customers.

It was a good experience!
