A world of opportunities

My name is Laura Decker and I am a 3rd year Public Relations student at MSVU. During the summer of 2007 I had the opportunity to work with the communications team at the Canada Revenue Agency in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was a rewarding experience to work as a federal civil servant. This was my first co-op experience and the knowledge and confidence I gained during my time there will no doubt become the foundation of my career. I not only improved on my critical writing, editing and research skills but gained more confidence in my abilities. I always felt encouraged to contribute and be an active part of the team, regardless of the fact that I was a co-op student.

By working in a federal department you open up a world of opportunities for your career; not only through the contacts you can potentially make but also by the wide range of experiences that are offered in various federal departments. I have a previous degree in History with a minor in Political Science and working with the federal government offers the opportunity to pair my two degrees together. As a result, the prospect of being “bridged” into the federal civil service when I graduate is an exciting possibility.
