Today was a great day at work, I will have my laptop on Tuesday so I can get to work. I got to meet other members of the marketing and customer service department. First I talked with Joe of course when I got in, and I got to go into a meeting with some of the marketing department on a conference call with the President Joe. It was interesting to be apart of the meeting and see what I could learn. From there I went to talk to Lois who is the head graphics designer and works with the media section of the department. We went over the Metrowork site, the website, One Point, literature, flyers, e-communications, Twitter, digital files, the online catalog, market research etc! I loved talkint to Lois and learning what she does and her background. She discussed taking me to the advertising agencies that they work with so I can talk to them and get a feel for what really goes on. That trip will most likely happen next Thursday. Next I met with Darlene who deals with PR an research. We talked about market research a little more and what I can contribute, such as doing research, contacting those who will be valuable in the survey process and finally making the survey happen by creating it. I will also be working on press releases for the department. We discussed more on e-communications and quickbase. Quickbase is more used for sales representatives and can be calcuated by market for example and there are a few other options as well. The President of the company can easily access what is going on. I also got to talk to Darlene about myself and learn about her past experiances as well. Lunch time came about and Darlene let me know how close we were to the mall! So i ate lunch and went to check the mall out. I of course went to JCPenney to do some research for Ad Comp. When I got back I got to up to customer service. I forgot her name, I will hopefully learn everyones names shortly. I was introduced to so many people today. I got to learn a little history about the company and was amazed to know it started in a loft in NY! Learning about customer service was interesting becasue it necessarily wasnt what I thought it was. A lot is involved and everyone in the department was welcoming and told me not to hisitate to come down and ask questions or just to say hi! I then went back to Joe we talked some more, which I don't mind becasue Joe is great to talk to and keeps the fun in work going. I am excited for next week when I finally have my laptop and get to meet more people and see what projects I can work on.
