My name is Emma Curtis and I attend Bedale High School, North Yorkshire. Last week I had great time at Bond Solutions where I was studying for my work experience. The team were really friendly and made me feel extremely welcome. I was paired with Jerri Murtagh the Marketing Executive, who helped me to overcome my shyness as she was so interesting and patient, teaching me lots about the Public Relations industry.
Jerri was busy finishing the e-newsletter, and during the morning I enjoyed watching her make the final few tweaks to the interactive newsletter, which had links to all their social networking sites including Twitter and Facebook. In the afternoon we were working on computer software called SalesLogix. At first the software seemed complex and difficult to use, but after some guidance from Jerri I began to understand it, and I even filled in a page of opportunities.
On the second day of my visit I watched Jerri send out the e-newsletter. We checked that all the contacts had proper names, before sending it out to over 1100 contacts. Once sent we could look at really cool software and see who had opened our emails and clicked on the links. This enabled the Bond team to see how successful they had been, and ultimately how effective the e-newsletter is.
My two days were extremely enjoyable and I would like to say thank you to Derek and all his staff for making me feel welcome. I feel I gained a lot of experience about working in an office environment and how important it is for you to have a nice atmosphere in the workplace.
