Today is officially Day 5 here at ETA/Cuisenaire! Since joining the Marketing Department on Monday as an intern, I've been able to learn and use the company's new IT Database system, S.T.E.P. Right now, I'm working with two other people in Marketing, Katie and Lynne, to help get the new database up and running, so that it can be used to create this year's upcoming catalog. This includes populating and checking product descriptions as well as figuring out ways to make the system easy-to-use from a creative standpoint. With over 8000 products, the process has required us to learn and solve many problems as we've encounter them. The process has been both challenging and rewarding, and its very interesting to see how everyone is working together to implement the new database for the entire company. Both Katie and Lynne have also been so helpful during this past week in getting me up to speed on the marketing and creative processes for ETA/Cuisenaire.
Yesterday, the company welcomed its new CEO as its current one will be retiring. I'm excited to see how ETA/Cuisenaire gradually makes this transition throughout the summer. I've also had the pleasure to speak with both the outgoing and incoming CEO's as well as many other people in the office. In just 5 days, I'm already starting to feel comfortable and part of this company; everyone has been so welcoming and helpful, and I look forward to getting to know the company, its people, and the other interns over next 9 weeks!
Some non-business related perks that I have discovered:
- The close proximity of the mall and more importantly, Starbucks
- The gym (that I have yet to use) attached to my building
Until next week,
Jenny
