Extra Credit
When I signed on with the Boomers, I anticipated 90% of my duties would revolve around writing and social media. I was about 50% right. When I signed on with the Boomers, I thought I would be almost completely immersed in tasks that were directly related to my major and PR. When I signed on with the Boomers, I just wanted to hop on my typewriter and show everyone what I could do.
So then why am I so excited about spearheading our new lost and found policy?
Because about two weeks ago, I saw a need in our office. We had items being left in the stadium on an almost-nightly basis (that tends to happen when 4,000 people frequent one place) and we had people calling in looking for things they misplaced, but we had no real way to connect the two.
So I saw a need ad created an Excel Spreadsheet to make our system efficient and help our fans recover anything they leave at the stadium. Three days into the implementation, we already had five people matched to their item.
I felt like an eHarmony administrator.
Even though this little initiative had nothing to do with Journalism or Media Communications, it does have everything to do with being a good worker who takes... well... initiative at work. And that's another skill I want to get better at this summer.
