40 day in Emirates Post

Thursday May 27, 2010 morning I was preparing some paper such as printing and copying some paper for the meeting. Furthermore, we have a meeting with all the managers of the branches in all the emirates in this meeting we explain for them that for three days there are a group of people will assess Emirates Post which means they will visit any branch to asses them. From this meeting we explain for the manager that they must be prepared well and we explain also for them again about the citation to explain it again for the employee in their branch. Moreover, we went to the office to work on the document which means to but every citation on separate file and each file we must put dividers and check it but, we didn’t finish our work because we went to the other meeting in this meeting me and my colleague surprised because they to a surprise for us like a small party because it was the last day. Also, Mr. Saif thanks us for our work and they give us two certificate and some gifts and they bring a cake to celebrate with us. After that we stay in the office tell 7:00 pm we help our supervisor to finish the files and some work for Sunday. In the last we told our supervisor that we will be welcome to help her in any time if she need and she was so happy to hear that. In my opinion I think that DWC must train the student for some Arabic words because more of the student doesn’t know Arabic very much and they will found some difficulties in their work. Also, they must let every student work in their major to have more experience in their work and to benefit that. In addition, DWC must teach the student a lot of programs that help them in their work because I and my colleague found some difficulties in some programs such as Photoshop.

Then we went to department of inspection and security it was wonderful place Mr. Rashid Bin Faris introduce the department to me. Who want to work in this department he must have a strong personality, conscience this work requires a big responsibility. But, I think it’s hard for women to work in this place because the women walk behind her emotions. When we came back to our office Ms. Abeer Al Hosani gives me some work to do which is to put some papers on the folders and to rearrange some folders in a creative ways and she explain every section in each folder and there was some papers that I don’t understand in which section I must put it but Ms. Abeer set with me and explain each section and what they do on these sections. Learnt from this that every department on Emirates post related to other department and I learnt a new word that I never hear about. Also to have a good work we must arrange the folders in a good way to not miss any important paper. It was a good challenge to work in this place because it in Arabic and I learnt many new thing and also to communicate with locals because in our culture it's difficult for a women to work with locals. Also, we should have self-reliance and precision in order to get excellent work.

Forth day in Emirates Post

Wednesday April 7, 2010 was my forth day in Emirates Post. On this day we went to our main work place which is Abu Hail branch, in the morning all the excellence team gathered in the meeting room in order to define a next meeting for our team to see their writing examples for the competition and present it for all the team. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday and the supervisor told all the teams to work hard and finish their work before Wednesday to share it with all the groups. Moreover, the supervisor Abeer AL Hosani gives all the team a survey about what we think about this session, how they can improve it, if the teacher explains what we need exactly, and if there is any comment about the session and teacher. After the meeting we went with Abeer AL Hosani to her office and she talk to us about Emirates Post polices because the first three days we weren't in our Branch because of the session that we have taken it in AL Krama Branch. After that the supervisor gives me a newsletter to search if there is a topic about excellence team or department or company in UAE then I must cut the article and paste it on a white paper then put it in my folder. Afterward the supervisor took us on a tour to know more about Emirates Post and the departments. First, she took us to the IT department and they introduce their work after that she took us to the counters in this place they have 45 services that related to Emirates Post and also to pay the electricity and water bill, internet , phones bill, and other different things. Then we went to AL Jawda department this department related to the Director -General office. Also, they communicate with different countries to get a good relation with them and also Mr. Raad told me that they have a good relation with three countries and they wait for the other three countries I was confused that they just have a relation with these three countries such as Singapore he told me this is a program that they do it know as a new program and they are waiting for other countries to reply them. Finally we went to the Postal Museum it was an amazing museum it has different kind of posts such as they do a special post for Sheikh Mohammed from gold also, they can do put our picture in the post and I can use it to sent a letter to my friends and family. In this museum I found Dubai women's College logo and I was surprised. Furthermore, they told that in every occasion such as the national day or other different post and the most post that they sell is the 3D post that carried Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid and Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan and Mohammed Bin Zayed photo in the same time it was amazing post that I have ever seen .

Third day in Emirates Post

Tuesday April 6, 2010 was my third day in Emirates post and the last day of this session then we will return back to our branch which is Abu Hail branch. In the beginning of our class we sat in our groups and we discuss our homework with our team for 15 minutes then we wrote our answers in a big white paper to share it with the other groups and to know our mistakes. After we finished we moved to other section in this session which is about who is our stakeholders, clients, suppliers, and community. We must write them in details. This was our second exercise was to discuss these thing and then write it on a piece of paper to discuss it with the other teams. This class I didn’t get more new information and I told my supervisor and she told me that all the teams didn’t learn from this last class. And she went on the break to talk with the training manager (Saif AL Shehi) to talk with the teacher that they want to know other thing about the project and to correct the samples that they have done it after discussing this problem with the manager he talks with the teacher and he solve with him the problem and after the break he sat with every group and discuss their parts and share it with all the groups after that he check some of the document that they finish it and he guide us with the right way. Our supervisor show us some samples that other department do it and tell us to find the wrong thing that we think it’s wrong and why. Moreover, from this class I learnt how to rewrite the sentence in Arabic word which means that how to write it in a formally way with new words that related to the work this was little difficult for me because all my studies was in English but my supervisor Abeer Al Hosani was so helpful that she helps me in the beginning how to do it then she let me do it alone.

Second day in Emirates Post

Monday April 5, 2010 was the second day. I arrived to work at 7:30 because our session program was at 8:00 am I was very happy because I enter this session with the workers in Emirates post because all that I meet they have a high positions and they have a good experience in their work. Moreover, in this session we sat in groups and every group divided into two or three different departments. In this class the teacher continue his explanation about this program and also he gave us an exercise to help us know more about the project. Furthermore, he guide the workers to have a correct document also, our supervisor bring a samples what they was doing to show the teacher and to have his advice. In this class I learnt more about team work because our group was mixed with different departments so I have an idea about every department and know more about the program because in the first day I was little confused about some Arabic word but I overcome this problem by asking my supervisor. Also, I haven't known all the information about Emirates Post but in this class and doing some exercise with my group I have more idea about these things. In addition before the end of the class the teacher gives us a homework to try doing it in the house and then we will discuss it in the class with our group and after with him.
