Week 3!!

In the third week, I was able to develop better communication with my immediate supervisor. Once again, she was very open to all my ideas and supportive of them. However, after meeting with the Director of Marketing and Communications, I realized the technological and budgetary constraints placed on a business. Nearly all my ideas could not be executed at this time because the technology just wasn’t available. Therefore, my ideas will stay on file for the future.

Otherwise, I spent the final two and half days of the week inputing Fantasy Track Pick-N-Win start lists. This was very tedious data entry that gave me a new appreciation for other fantasy games, such as MLB, NBA, NFL, etc. Those other games are much more complex so they must require an even longer duration of data entry.

Lastly, we have been having weekly intern meetings. These meetings provide the opportunity for everyone to brainstorm ideas for improvement for USATF as well as create an awareness for what other interns are doing. I found this meeting helpful; however, I can see how unproductive interns can be. Several ideas are dwelled on that have no real merit and are not worth our time. I will use this experience to run more efficient meetings in the future at McCombs and in other work places.
