It was a great week! Why? Because I finally started working for the Graphic Shop.
Monday Feb 16, 2009 was my first day and let me tell you, it isn’t easy waking up early! I started early morning at 9:00 am and quickly got to know the office environment. Mr. Alexander (my sponsor) was excited to show me around the office which was a pleasant experience.

After the tour Mr. Alexander explain the type of work an schedule I would have. Every Monday morning we would be have a company meeting and talk about what we would be working on, our goals for the week, and up-coming events. Also, Mr. Alexander gave me an outline of all the clients and type of service that his Graphic Shop provides.

After the meeting I was given the projects that I would be working on for the remainder of the week.

1. Update three Graphic Shop homepage banners in fireworks or Photoshop .
2. Update Client Web site: Jocues (www.jocues.com)
A. update stock gallery
B. upload new html pages.
3. Update online coupons for Kwik Kill Exterminator (http://www.kwikkillexterminators.com/) in fireworks or photoshop.


Also during the week we took care of some of the internal housekeeping such as:
My user name and password to the online graphic shop web site.

I did about 25 hrs this week which is great!
