Today was my day at Drew. I checked in with Mrs. Ferrara and she and I discussed my project. She was happy with my product but told me that I should incorporate a few slides about my internship in my powerpoint, as before my powerpoint was solely about my product. I spent a few hours at Drew after that working on my 1-pager and editing my product.

Senior Project Day 14
5/19/16
Today was my last day at Barney & Barney, and I am kind of sad to be leaving, but also school and check in with my friends and teachers. I finished up my client research today and connected with some of my coworkers on LinkedIn. I spent most of my work day finishing the rough draft of my packet. Its about 7 pages and I am very happy with it. It is too long to be a pamphlet so I will now be referring to it as a packet. Everyone was very nice and all said goodbye when I left. I am happy that I spent my time at Barney & Barney and feel like I have learned a lot about insurance and life in the workplace. I sent my sponsor a thank you note when I got home.

Senior Project Day 13
5/18/16
Today I spent the first half of my day finishing up my powerpoint presentation and adding images. It was nice to see all my research come together in a cohesive manner. Although I have not started on my pamphlet yet, I think this presentation will smoothly transfer over to the pamphlet and I will only have to fine tune the format and add small details. I spent the rest of the day doing prospective client research.

Today my sponsor was in the Walnut Creek office, so he gave me permission to work on my senior project all day. I signed up for a time slot on Friday, and then began working on my powerpoint. I have decided to make my powerpoint about what I will be including in my pamphlet, so it will be kind of a verbal overview of my actual product. I am happy to see that most of my research has a place in my powerpoint and that I have enough of it to talk for roughly 10 minutes. I created my outline and individual slides. I put down what information I want to include on my slides and feel like I have organized it in a way that makes sense. I am mostly just taking the information from my research and putting it on the specific slides where I feel it would make sense.

Senior Project Day 11
5/16/16
Today I began working from the San Francisco office again, and I will be here until my internship ends on Thursday. Originally, I was going to take a half day on Friday but Barney & Barney was nice enough to let me take the whole day off. I will still have all of my hours completed, though. Today I went to work and continued researching clients for my sponsor using their client database, salesforce, and LinkedIn. During the middle of the day, a few coworkers and I went to a lunch benefit hosted by the Children's Counsel, who is a client of Barney & Barney's. It turns out that people from Barney & Barney attend a fair few of these events as they work with quite a few nonprofit organizations. It was interesting to see how my coworkers interacted and networked with other businesspeople. When we got back from the event, I continued with my client research until I left for the day.

Senior Project Day 10
5/13/16
Today I spent the first part of my day organizing the conference room. I spent the rest of the day manning the front desk by myself, and doing some online work for my SF Barney & Barney sponsor. Things ran pretty smoothly today, and the office ordered a lot of chipotle for lunch, which was awesome. When I got home I began organizing my research so that I can easily access it when I begin putting together my final product.

Senior Project Day 9
5/12/16
Today I started my day by rearranging the kitchen for a little bit, and then sitting at the front desk by myself. It was a little uncomfortable because I am at the forefront of the office for visitors and I am the first Barney & Barney voice people hear when they call. Through some trial and error I managed the phones, emails, mail, and faxes pretty well. During lunch, one of the office members who is on maternity leave sent over ice cream sandwiches, which were a nice pick-me-up and very delicious.
When I got home I did some research on teen marketability, and I found some advice that is similar to a lot of the advice that the office workers have been giving me, so it is nice to know that this advice really works.
