Work At Mercer

Hi guys, sorry for not posting here for such a long time.


Just to update you guys, I'm currently working at Mercer, in the Health and Benefits Division.


I have just completed one week of the internship and throughout the entire week, we were just opening letters and filing documents in the respective files in the compacter room.


To be honest, we were damn saddened by what we have to do, I mean filing? You can get primary school students to do that and we are undergraduates and yet they ask us to do filing.


That is so degrading.


Some of my colleagues were even thinking of quitting.


But today, the team leader came over to tell us that it is actually learning bit by bit and its all about the attitude.


Even though we are now doing filing, we are actually learning about the process, what the department do and what the documents look like and how they are actually drafted.


So, it actually helps according to her but we though she was just talking rubbish because she's probably just smoking us.


How can filing be meaningful man? You go and tell that to the future employers and they will laugh until they die.


But she mentioned that she will put us into the FUN Committee to brainstorm for ideas that will help motivate the employees because it is a very stressful environment over there as everyone is busy and rushing over their work.


Hence, we have to start thinking of some things to help them release some of their stress.


I thought finally, we are doing something great for the company and this will definitely be helpful in our resume.


Also, the team leader mentioned that she will assign us more work in the future and involve us more in the task. She say that she want to maximise the interns here, to let them learn as much as possible, particularly because we are all undergraduates so we definitely possess the capabilities to do a good job.


I'm really glad that she has taken note of that because if we were to do filing for the rest of the internship, it will seriously be boring as hell.


Oh well, I am definitely looking forward to the next 7 weeks and I hope that there will be more jobs coming towards us :) :) :)
