Hey guys! It's Alex! So I'm really sorry, but I am just going to forewarn you that in this post I will have to be very nondescript. Anyway here it is:
My second day "on the job" I was introduced to a new case. I had heard about it on the news previously, so I knew what it was. My boss wanted me to scan the case files and then save them into dated folders on my computer. I worked fast, and so for a week I scanned many, many case files. Some may call that grunt work, but I was introduced to new and interesting cases, and I actually found it rather fascinating.
After I finished the scanning, my boss introduced me to a new computer program. I was to enter data into the program. I was excited because this was a program that crime analysts use daily. In fact, he enters cases into the program all the time. So, he went step by step explaining how the program works and how to enter the cases properly. I pretty much do this everyday now and I really do think it is interesting. I read different cases everyday and learn new things all the time.
Until next time...
That's awesome that you enjoyed the busy work. Some people may have been disappointed to only be involved in paper work. Good Luck with your internship!
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't sound boring. You get to read about all different kinds of cases and see what people are up to. I think this would be a really cool opportunity. Interested to see what your next posts will be!
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that you actually enjoy the program that you are using, it is important to understand the desk work and not going on a job.
ReplyDeleteOops I meant not JUST going on a job...
