It’s a different experience doing a One Week Job in my hometown of Port Moody. Usually my current job incorporates exploring the city; I am a working tourist experiencing the city for the first time.
This week, there is a real sense of familiarity. I simply drive down the hill to go to work, I can [...]

Week #52! It’s difficult for me to grasp that I have already held 51 different professions over the past year.
Since I am always on the road continually thinking about the following week, I haven’t yet had the chance to reflect on the experience. When I take a moment to stop and think about it, [...]

My mom would be pleased to hear that I didn’t jump out a plane this week.
Without a tandem jump master currently on base, there was no one qualified to take me. I would have loved the opportunity, but I must admit a small part of me was slightly relieved.
Going into the week I [...]

This week I am working with the Canadian Air Force in Trenton, Ontario. I will be stationed at 8 Wing Trenton which is the biggest Air Force Wing in Canada.
I will get to see many facets of the Air Force throughout the week as each day I am scheduled to experience a different department.
I am [...]

If only I had a dollar every time I heard the word ‘association’ this week. Being new to the world of associations, I admit I was most likely more aware of it, though I could have sworn that in each conversation I had, the word ‘association’ was used at least five times.
On my first [...]

This week I am in Austin, Texas working with the Texas Society of Association Executives (TSAE) as an Association Professional.
What exactly is an Association Professional? That’s a good question.
When President/CEO Beth Brooks first contacted me about coming to Texas to work with TSAE, I had a difficult time wrapping my head around what they [...]

I left Wyoming early morning and arrived a few hours later at the Salt Lake City airport with plenty of time for my flight to Washington DC.
Hours before I was scheduled to leave, my name was called over the intercom stating that my plane was boarding. Curious, I quickly went to the gate.
When [...]

This week I am working in Washington D.C as the Mascot for the Washington Capitals. For those of you that don’t know, The Washington Capitals is an NHL team. I will also get to help out with promotions and in-game entertainment (you know, those people that wear tracksuits at games, are always smiling handing out [...]

I caught a flight to Salt Lake City last Sunday morning, a few hours away from La Barge, Wyoming where I would be working on a ranch with a cowboy named Chet.
Chet’s wife, Billy, picked me up from the airport. We then drove about an hour to a neighboring town where we met Chet [...]

Ian here, (the project videographer) filling in for Sean. I’m currently in our hometown Vancouver, while he’s in the middle of Wyoming working as a Cowboy. When we last parted ways, he said he’d be somewhere remote, and likely not have internet access.
Well, he was right.
So instead of waiting [...]

This week I will be working as a Cowboy at a ranch near La Barge, Wyoming.
I have no idea what to expect. When I think of a Cowboy, a cliche of images come to mind. The infamous Cowboy hat, boots, jacket, horse, piece of hay in the mouth, accent, riding in open fields for [...]

I arrived at the station and met with Battalion Chief Dave Messerschmidt and Captain/Paramedic Shannon Stone.
Dave had a serious face and asked me, “Sean, what is your objective here?” I went into a rather long winded answer about the project and what I was hoping to get out of my time at the fire [...]

The first of my two 24 hour shifts at the Fort Walton Beach Fire Department started off early morning. There are three shifts at the department, A, B, and C. Each one works 24 hours (7am – 7am) and then has 48 hours off.
As I mentioned earlier, we stayed with Ryan and Lacey in [...]

1:30pm – we’re in New York City, a car will take us to the airport at 4:30pm with our plane set to leave for Pensacola, Florida at 7pm. The only problem? We have no idea what we are going to do once we get to Pensacola at 11pm that night. The town of Fort Walton [...]

It was a busy day at the Rachael Ray Show on Monday. I visited several different departments at the studio: in the Prep kitchen, post production department, props, web, and finished by helping choose the “snack of the day.”
Along with me was a director, a camera guy, and a sound guy. I felt [...]
