First steps…
Hello friends… welcome to my world! This is your friendly neighborhood marketing intern…
It is 5:00am and I’m still awake… wide awake. I’ve been up since 2:00am today thinking about my first project as a marketing intern. Project 1 is… *drumroll*… marketing research and creating databases!
Before I start chattering away, I’d like to start at the very beginning…
Monday, July 17, 2006
Today I got hired (Yipee!). I had a meeting with my new boss, Jordan at www.telltenfriends.com. Although Jordan is a friend of mine, I was a bit nervous. I could feel my sweat escape my glands. It wasn’t a very pretty sight. I guess somehow I felt like I was going through an interview… and we all know how that’s like. Good thing Jordan was cool enough to offer me some wine. So… he explained to me how the biz works (it’s a secret… no, not really) and asked me what my future plans are. Of course, as any smart homosapien … I plan to grow within the company. About half an hour later, his wife, Alex, arrived. He gave her the low down then we got into some cackling or chatting (the boss seems to like the word cackle). That pretty much ended the interview session. Phew!
Now, back to Project 1. So far, all I’ve done is organize the existing data base (considering it’s early morn and my head is still in lala-land). Tomorrow or later, rather, I will jump on this monster and conquer.
PS. You like my 5:00am picture? I refuse to take a front angle at this time of day… I tell you… s-c-a-r-y.
Sigrid… you’re first post is a gem. Now there was no mention of 5am work sessions so I’d say you’re a keener to the nth degree!!
Congratulations on your new job! You’ll be running the company in no time… no really… I know my husband’s organizational skills… you’ll be running the company in NO time…literally.
Big Hug for the intern…
For the new fans of Sigrid Says…. you can say you knew her before she became FAMOUS…..

Well, I have to say I’m mighty proud that you’re up at 5am and posting already!
You’re gonna make me seem like a tyrant, though! Still, that kind of dedication is what will make this company great, so keep up the good work!
Oh, and you don’t have to call me boss. Sir will do just fine.
Haha.
Posted 2 years, 1 month agohey Sigrid, how much pr hr is HRH Jordan paying you for the database work? whatever it is, i can double it!!
Posted 2 years, 1 month agoPatricia, she’s an INTERN. Plus, can you guess who that database is for??
Posted 2 years, 1 month agoWow, Sigrid. You’re blog is been up for two days and you’re already building a network!
They grow up so fast, don’t they Alex?
Now I have an excuse to tell you how to track word of mouth online. Short answer: Not easy, but the secret is in keywords and tags, multiple search engines and news alerts.
