Internship Week 3

This week I started in accounts payable. I was nervous moving into a new department and about working with new people, but I quickly adapted. I was really excited about being in accounts payable because I had my own computer all day everyday. I was shown how to do things, and then I was immediately able to get to work. Thursday at work was a really exciting for me. Tuesday and Thursday are check cutting days for all of the companies Dixon buys from and utilizes. I printed one million, one hundred dollars worth of checks, matched the copies to the invoices to which they corresponded, and then sent all of the checks out in the mail. That seemed like a pretty impressive amount of money to send out in a week, but obviously Dixon does huge volumes of business. I am in accounts payable again next week and an looking forward to learning more and doing more on my own.
