Kaidyn’s Career Kickoff – Week Thirteen
Hello Hello! This week wasn’t too busy… I spent some time shadowing 2060 digital, attending a sales meeting, and working behind the front desk for a day. I started off Monday morning with Heather and Nikki in 2060 Digital. They showed me how their reporting day works. It is very helpful to see how everything goes in the real world since I am currently working towards a Marketing and Communications degree at Bemidji. I also attended a Monday morning sales meeting with our Account Executives. I was supposed to work at a remote on Wednesday with Bill and Bryan, but unfortunately it was cancelled. Back in the office on Friday, I spent the day behind the front desk. And I actually remembered to bring lunch today! Greeting people, handling Bbay orders, and answering the phone filled up most of my day.
