Today within my Brooklyn College internship I was given an assignment from Lisa, my boss. Before Lisa Zoomed called me I had to get ready. It was pretty early, I had to shower, brush my teeth, eat and make sure I found a good shirt to look professional. That’s a lot to do so early in the morning, trust me. Once I joined our call she informed me that she needed to work on letterheads for the office of campus safety.She provided me with four documents. The documents looked as if they were done in the year 2005, they were really old. Lisa wanted me to take the old format of the letterheads and recreate them using the new Brooklyn College format. The documents were in really bad shape, they had to be cleaned up and spaced out evenly to be the way she wanted. The directions were pretty clear, although it took some time. Majority of the time went towards cleaning up the old documents text, but once that was done it was onto the layout. It took a very long time because I overestimated the assignment. I thought it would be easy to just place the text within a confined space but it’s harder. Things have to be a certain size, while others need to be kerned.
Upon receiving the assignment Lisa, my boss had given me four letter heads and informed me to show her the result of the first one when tis competed to make sure it’s to her liking. Both me and Lisa have had to at least send the first completed letter head back and forth ten times. I used the Brooklyn College guidelines to make the best format possible, white the back and forth emailing was to work out little kinks such as, spelling,line spacing, changing font weight. After going over Lisas corrections and making it the best possible way she wanted me to use the first complete document as reference to complete the next. I said no problem, but on the inside I wished she would have helped me the next. I told her “ I’ll give it my best shot”. She informed me that for the second document it would be best if she can have it within a couple of days. It was no problem because more than one day is enough, but i’m just wondering will she like it ? Will it need another one hundred corrections ? I need to stop doubting myself and tackle these challenges. She then told me “only do one more”. I was a little confused at first, but then Lisa said she had something planned so i’m not sure what it is. Why would she want me to not finish all the work ? i didn’t want to question her authority, i believed she knew what she was doing and just told her “ No problem i’ll have the second one done soon” I hope the second letterhead is easier to do, the text is more messier than
