Internship Week 8

This week I was to start in Information Technology. When I arrived I reported to my new post, where I was much unexpected. The head of the IT department was away on vacation, so I was switched to the sales department, where I was to be in November. In the sales department I listened to many phone calls dealing with orders and general questions, I was able to enter orders that came over the fax machine, and I created a pricing spreadsheet for the entire department. I also had a chance to spend time in the Advertising department where I saw many works in process. Instead of sending out user manuals for parts and products, Dixon is creating videos to better explain use. When I was in high school I interned with a publisher in Baltimore, Alter Publications, which I this week found is the publisher of Dixon’s publications. Its neat how you make different contacts and random connections through work and internships. Overall, I enjoyed this week, it was a nice change of pace, and I am looking forward to spending next week there again.
