When I first started brainstorming ideas I wanted to explore the tasks required for a career interest. However, not knowing very well about the field I decided to work with the current job that I have at the Office of Registrar at the University of Toronto. My job title is exam assistant and I have numerous duties to fulfill. I assistant the manager in counting, wrapping, filling exams and trying to make my managers job easier, for example finding a specific file or exam. I wrote out the five tasks that I believe are the main and the most important. Those five tasks are all link to one another and without one the other would not be possible. I first wrote out my duties and what it entitles, who is involved and how things work. When listing my duties, I didn't realize how time consuming this job is and how everything is not possible without the other.

When starting my flowchart, I had to search what each symbol meant. With so many steps in one task, I had to write it all out with it's appropriate symbol. I found that the main task that I chose to work with contains lots of decision making. When at work, the steps seem so obvious that I don't realize that I'm making lots of decisions.
