Introductory Blog

Hello everyone,

My name is Adrian Yip, and as of the creation of this blog, I am a second- year student majoring in Economics studying at Queen’s University. I enjoy listening to music and playing the bass guitar in my free time and although I have only been once, I have developed a great interest in scuba open water diving.

I am interested in employment relations because I like having good relations with people, whether it be personal or professional relationships. An idea I always grew up with was to always try and keep as many friends as possible. It’s always better to be around a friendly face or environment. However, one thing I’ve always struggled with was creating these relationships and achieving a stage where there was a mutual friendship. Although I’ve had good relationships as in I do not cause trouble or disappoint my peers and seniors, I often hoped I could have earned an extra level of trust with people. Therefore, through this course, I want to better understand the dynamics of relationships in a professional environment and how to achieve my goal.
