Week 6

Wow... week six. Five down, three to go.... What a bittersweet feeling.

July 15th - Monday
7:00am - 3:45pm

The first hour I spent at work, I was all alone. I was able to read through the weekends emails and respond to all of them with well-thought out responses. Then I began planning for our social media meeting/presentation with the entire team. As team captain, I have put alot of planning into this meeting including time over the weekend. I met with the full-time social media team member and we discussed all aspects of the presentation before actually heading over. The presentation seemed to go well and I received great feedback from my leaders. I got several compliments as to my knowledge of social media and all that it entails. I spent that afternoon revamping the entire dPOP! Pinterest page. We removed photos, made a list of photos we want to shoot, rewrote ALL (almost 200) captions, and began planning for what else needed to be added. It was a good lesson in strategic planning and not taking the easy way out.



July 16th - Tuesday
7:00am - 5:30pm

Today was a very busy day for me. Terence, Megan and I (the main social media team) began knocking things off a large to-do list pertaining to social media and planning and spent all day working diligently on that. We did break in the afternoon to go take some more photos and get out of the office for awhile. We got free Ice Cream for volunteering (Neighborhoods Day!) to do some community service while we are down in Detroit.

Neighborhoods Day!

July 17th - Wednesday
7:00am - 4:00pm
7:00pm - 8:30pm (Home evening hours)

Today was photo shoot day. We have hundreds of photos we wanted captured and displayed on our websites and our Pinterest so Jen, Martin, Megan, Terence and I spent the whole morning out shooting photos. Only three of us actually had cameras, but between the three of us we took over 1,000 photos. I spent the afternoon trying to sort all of the photos into folders and than slowly began editing them. Editing is a very time-consuming project so I am sure i will be working lots of hours the rest of this week to be sure they are done and ready to rock n' roll by Monday.

Some of the photos I shot during our shoot. :)

July 18th - Thursday
7:00am - 6:00pm

Today was a company wide scavenger hunt all over the city of Detroit. It was 94 degrees out and one of the most miserable things I have ever done. That is all.



July 19th - Friday
7:30am - 3:00pm

Today was also spent editing photos. Lots and lots and lots of photos. In the afternoon, all the interns went over to the Qube to get free t-shirts that represent the Quicken Loans internship program. Around 3pm, we all had realized that we were over 50 hours and ready to head out for the week. America, Gena, Katie, Elizabeth and I headed to the mall for some bonding/shopping.


I also worked an additional 3.5 hours over the weekend editing photos and prepping for the Pinterest projects for next week.


Total hours this week: 54.25
