A day in the life:
Today is an ‘in office day’ so you enter our Victoria office, grab a cup of coffee and have a quick chat with your colleagues before settling in for a new day of meaningful work. Looking at your Outlook calendar, today you will be responding to consumers who are experiencing a variety of issues with businesses in BC. You will be collecting information, creating complaint files, and referring to other organizations to try and help consumers resolve their complaints. Next you have a morning meeting with your Licensing and Information Services team to discuss the new online licensing platform.
At lunch, you join your co-workers for a potluck in the lunchroom. Later this afternoon, you’re scheduled to renew debt collector licences and review their new applications. In between your scheduled meetings, you’re responding to licensee emails, following up on complaints, and processing payments. Towards the end of the day, you make a note to follow-up with the Business Practices team about a licensee who has not submitted their annual financial statements.
As you close your laptop, you’re grateful that a day in the life of a Licensing and Information Officer is never the same as the day before. Being involved in projects that require you to obtain, review and process specific information is of a great value to our organization. You appreciate the ability to be involved with other departments and the opportunity to learn something new every single day.
