Assigned! Sort of…

I am assigned to a client this week, but my orders are to “shadow” the senior and manager here, and not to charge any of my time to the client. And so far “shadowing” means, sitting here doing online training. Which is fine with me, because actually shadowing the senior sounds like I’d just sit and stare at her clearing open review notes. Instead, I’m learning about online branding!

I have been slowly working my way through the e-learnings related to the manufacturing sector. I guess I’m attracted to the industry because my dad works in manufacturing, but the more I learn, the more I think I should pick a different industry (perhaps one that is actually growing??).

Oh man, the e-learning is talking about “the internet is here!” and how we see brands on portals “such as Yahoo!, Lycos, and Excite!” Are Lycos and Excite still around? I feel like those are the search engines the librarians in elementary school taught us how to use…

    I hope that’s a big, lumbering corporation you’re at, mentioning lycos and yahoo. As for manufacturing, just what does the US manufacture anymore, besides debt, I mean?

      Haha, well, hopefully something. All of the trainings about manufacturing talked about how manufacturing faced the challenge of slow growth, and had a hard time recovering from the last recession. And the e-learnings were made before this new recession, so imagine how bad it is now…
