Shadow

I shadowed my main supervisor the past few days. Her name is Chelsea and she arrives everyday five minutes before everyone else strolls in. I know this because I go in 15 minutes early every time I show up to my applied study. Since I started, I have noticed that she does a number of different things. However, when I made a purpose to focus on her activities, her primary task revolves around creating and revising marketing ad plans. I constantly notice the graphic designer walk back and forth from his office to Chelsea’s desk. Focusing on their conversations, it seems like she is overseeing the creation of all the print advertisements for Metropolitan Talent Presents. She uses the interns including myself as extra sets of eyes to proof the ads as well. She also coordinates ordering and delivery of radio and television promo spots for upcoming shows. She takes hours monitoring production and delivery of product to fulfill our purchase orders from our distributor. Yesterday, she created an excel sheet that took about 6 hours straight that laid out our updated inventory list which monitors incoming invoices for advertisements Metropolitan has placed in print. She takes her lunch everyday from 2-3 PM and always leaves at 6:30 PM. It is hard to shadow someone for a long period of time at my internship but I did learn many things from Chelsea. She does not have someone constantly giving her work to do. She was hired because it seems like she was an asset to the company and could add her personal creativity and dedication.
