Today when I went into the Clery Center, my main focus was to add more organizations to the student group list. Amy, Abby, Sam, Deb, and Ali all had a meeting today. So I was to man the phones while they were in the meeting. Charlotte the other intern who is usually the one that answers the phones had already left for the day. I have to say I was a little nervous, because I was unfamiliar with the phone system and I was not sure how to do a couple of things.
However everyone had complete faith in me. They said that if I was to make a mistake that was ok, because being an intern is supposed to be a learning experience. It turns out I did not make any mistakes and took great messages.
Which made me confident in myself, because even though I was only answering the phones at this particular point something like this will follow me through all my professional endeavors. There are going to be those times where I am going to be pushed out of my comfort zone and I am gonna have to go with it to make sure that the job gets completed.
So I was able to get a few more organizations added to the list and I am going to start making more calls either tomorrow or next week. Depending on what Amy and Abby think would be best.
