The time has come for me to tackle my tasks here at work with deadlines fast approaching, and with that in mind I think it might be about time for me to explain to you what my work entails, how it has changed…. and why not to blink.

Freedom
By Erik Irestål on 24 November, 2009
As important as I concluded inspiration to be in my last blog post, as important I believe reflection to be. The word that came to my mind reflecting on the last three months was freedom. At first it didn’t make sense, where is the freedom in working?

To “pick the raisins out of the bun”
By Gabriella Grepe on 20 November, 2009
Being a trainee here at Telenor, you are kind of excused when you want to go around, try new things and see as much as possible. So when someone asks you if you want to join for a two hours excel course or to look at the campaigns in the stores – you simply don’t say no. At least I don’t…

How to know if you are good at what you are doing?
By Lasse Kronback Arildslund on 18 November, 2009
It is not a very long time ago I finished university, and the ways of working on projects and assignments in such a forum still seems quite familiar. During my five years in university I felt that I continuously progressed, as I improved in the areas of group work and methodology. I got to know if my performance was good or bad because I knew on which basis I was evaluated. The working processes here in real life are very different, so how do I know if what I deliver is good or bad?

Reflections on Relocation
By Rikke Nielsen on 13 November, 2009
Although my situation as a trainee has slowly sunk in, last week’s email from one of our HR contacts came as a big surprise. I was working on a project when my mailbox alert went off. New emails from Geir in HR usually means exciting news related to trainee seminars and other fun stuff. As [...]

The Teletubbies are back in town
By Zsófia Navratil on 12 November, 2009
I just started to work for PandA a week ago. The first day was okay, but on my very second day they made me dress up like a Teletubby! We went out to the wild to build and paint a hut on a river bank, while it was raining cats and dogs. And you’re sooo wrong if you think I’m just kidding!

By Kristina Thim on 11 November, 2009

Gaining Perspective- One Day at a Time
By Aniela Szumilas on 2 November, 2009
The day has come where I no longer jump out of bed and run to work. Perhaps part of my altered energy is the fault of my initial big expectations meeting the reality of work…. but highs and lows included, this first month reminded me that I have to buckle up my seatbelt for the ride ahead!

In this process it can be quite helpful if you possess many useful traits. This entry is about my journey to reach to the conclusion on how I best can mix my best qualities most successfully.
