Wooster Fresher

My Role:
My main job is the challenging task of answering the phone. An intern must always be guarding the phone! Other important jobs include buzzing people in the door and collecting the mail from the post office. In the afternoon I observe the rehearsals which I have been thrilled about. Each time I've witnessed the master minds at work I haven't been able to stop smiling (I probably look like a goofball but its the WOOSTER GROUP!). Apart from that, I basically sit around waiting for someone, anyone to give me a task that they don’t actually want to do themselves. I call them pass-off-tasks as they are usually passed off from one person to the next until it falls into my interning lap.

Pass-off-tasks include:
  •         Hand-delivering flyers for upcoming shows across New York City.
  •     Getting coffee for  the Wooster Group.
  •        Updating excel documents.
  •        Printing something.
(There are more to come but I have yet to discover them!)

Concluding thoughts:
The tasks might be mundane but I still get to be apart of the Wooster Group process. Hopefully I'll end up being in the right place at the right time and more opportunities will open up for me. I’m only here once a week so I've got to build up my relationships with the company members so they remember who I am! So far I have been re-introducing myself every Monday. Hopefully "Georgina the Australian" will start to sink in soon.

Arrivederci.
