This week was a bit strange. On Wednesday I was a little stressed because I was running later than usual, and yet when I got to the office there was no one there. The were all in a meeting elsewhere in Rome. Unfortunately, I hadn't checked my email the night before, where Erica had sent me an email explaining that there was no need for me to come in but that I should translate a PowerPoint from Italian to English remotely. Of course, I was already in the office so that is where I did this translating task.
On Thursday, I once again was running behind schedule yet to my surprise I was able to be there early (the public transportation in Rome is such a mystery). There I was asked to brain storm for problem solving on how to get rid of a logo from a video making app. This took much longer than anticipated and in the end Erica decided that it was easier to simply pay the 20 euro fee for the actual program and not just the free trail. After this, I was given the most creative task yet. I was asked to make an infograph about some excel sheet information. Erica wanted that information to be represented in a much more visually appealing way. She mentioned that this was simply for the office but if it was good it could potentially be shown to clients as well (so no pressure or anything).
I started working on the infograph and right away I knew how to lay out the information in a much more visual way. I was not able to finish the infograph that day but I will continue working on it throughout the weekend. I hope to have it done by Monday morning. I hope that I get more creative projects like this in the future. I really enjoy branching out creatively every once in a while.
To date, the most impressive thing at my interview is how informal it all is yet they are still a professional business. The hierarchy is there but it is not felt, which allows for a much more comfortable work ambiance. Ideas seem to flow much more smoothly and everyone pitches in. I really like this about this company.
