What Today Held

I’ve had a wonderful time today. Figured out a few things that were holding me back from having what I needed to stay on board. I fixed my Zoom information, and I asked a few questions about the job postings that popped up magically at my wonderful check-in with Carrie. I will spend a bit of time before signing off to handle some typing, then I will be on my way to SJS!

Additionally, I attended a meeting with my supervisor, drafted two sponsor emails, and researched additional contact information for missing sponsor email addresses. The goal of my efforts was to maintain accurate resources and support our team’s external communications.

What I did today

Today we started with typing practice. Then we moved onto practicing writing emails to customers of the fake Power of Wellness! Gym. This was followed up on some practice customer service scenarios where one person played the customer and the other the employee. For playing the employee we did one run through where we were terrible and the other where we were actually good. It’s pretty crazy how much easier (and more fun) it is to be bad. But of course, as the video we watched at the end of class, in customer service it’s much better to think What’s in it for Others (WIFO) than What’s in it for Me (WIFM).
