I'm a working girl!

I got my first *real* job working at the Berry College Alumni Center! :)

I work for a few hours everyday before and in between my classes. Basically I just have to help out around the office/center by entering data into Word or Excel on the computer, delivering mail, stuffing envolopes to send to Alumni and help out with various Alumni events. But usually I'm at the front desk greeting people and answering the phone helping and directing anyone who calls. But then the best part is, when they don't really have anything for you to do - you can work on your homework - and still get paid! haha

At first I was really nervous about working at the front desk becuase I was worried that I might not be able to understand or help people on the phone answering their questions and what-not. But luckily, it's actually not that bad! I've been working here for about a month and a half and it's getting easier to answer the phone - I don't get so nervous! Plus, it's kinda fun when you see people and students passing through the center as they all wave or say Hi to me back!

When someone calls and I'm able to answer their questions or to transfer them to someone they need, I always feel good and proud of myself becuase I was able to answer the phone and to help them out! :)

This is the front desk - where I'm normally working:



Notice the phone?
There's so many lines and buttons to transfer calls too! haha
