Whether or not it is similar to the destination you have in mind, it will show up on your work history or resume. You may learn skills and acquire a valuable reference.

Work life also affects self-esteem, mental health and physical health. Your values and interests may find an outlet. Your unique strengths may further develop. Although there are no university-wide requirements for reviewing and evaluating your performance, supervisors are given a sample evaluation form and encouraged to periodically review your performance. As an employee, you are encouraged to regularly note your accomplishments and your suggestions for improving the work place, so that you too may participate in the performance review.
