When I was hired on as an intern at a graphic design company, I did a majority of the grunt work. My daily responsibilities ran the gamut from getting coffee for the whole office to delivering the mail. In short, I did the things no one else would care to do. Luckily, I had enough passion for the field that I stuck with it no matter what my bosses threw my way.
Early in my tenure as an intern, I noticed a number of inefficiencies that were holding the company back. After at least a dozen trips to Kinko’s to retrieve copies of our latest product designs, I finally got fed up enough to tell my boss. “Why don’t we just get a few Xerox color printers for the office?” I wondered. As it turned out, he didn’t realize just how affordable printers have become in recent years. I’m happy to report that we’ve since cut out the middle man and I have a full-time job at the company.
