Walk West: Day 3

Once again my day started at 10am. From the moment I walked into the office today, there were tasks for me to complete. Today I got to see the side to Communications that I had expected to see coming into this internship. This morning I reunited with my good friend Excel. I organized a long list of clients and emails from specific sectors of companies to make their information more accessible. This meant that if Walk West wanted to reach out (for a client) and contact these people, they could easily do so. Once I completed that, I moved on to researching some information for my desk neighbor — Andrew. Andrew just moved to full time at the company after being an intern for a couple months, so probably understands the struggle of being young and new! I had to research SEO. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which basically means how do you rank a video or website higher up when you search something. So on Google, how do you get your website to show up first when someone searches something related to your website. A bit after lunch time we all gathered in a large meeting room to celebrate someone’s last day. There was some delicious cake and cookies to snack on while everyone sat down and took a short break to chat. My aunt and uncle are actually friends with the founder and head of governmental affairs sect of the company, so they had asked them to embarrass me and sing me happy birthday at some point. We then talked about stories about my relatives, football, and other non-work related things. For a little I was quizzed on if I knew people from shows like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saved by the Bell, and Full House. Since I am significantly younger than most of the people in the office, they find it funny that I have no clue what some things are. After, I scheduled social media posts! I found this particularly interesting; Instead of having to post for clients the day of, they schedule them out to be posted for a certain day and time on specific platforms based upon finding on when is the best time to post. At 3 o’clock Andrew and I watched a webinar on a new “app” or platform they are using where they can see where people are clicking based on heat maps and other typical feature such as polls, etc. After a pretty successful day, I headed home waiting for the next day.
