Not enough counselling time In an effort to improve the way you manage your time at work, you logged your activities for a week, then searched for patterns that might reveal ways to use your time more efficiently and eliminate time-wasters. You were surprised to see that the two main components of your job description as a career development practitioner for newcomers to Canada - counselling job seekers and working with local employers to set up internship programs for your clients - didn't match your actual activities. While your job description specifies a 50/50 split between the two responsibilities, your log revealed that setting up internships was actually taking up 70% of your time, not 50%.

Write an email to your manager explaining the steps that led to your conclusion that internship activities were taking up so much of your time, and proposing a way to deal with the problem.​
