Week 1 Day 2


I continued to work on my Groupon spreadsheet and also started to work on a separate project where I would look for missing Amazon shipments by searching a database for the their code number, then when I found the missing item I would copy the serial number and put that information on the account for Amazon, thus the missing products were found and could be shipped. It was a very boring task and I actually preferred making my spreadsheet. Essentially everything I do here requires Microsoft Excel. According to everyone in the office the most commonly used program in business is Excel and I don’t doubt it.  One thing I’ve learned just from being in the office and overhearing phone calls and conversations I’ve noticed how difficult a business of this type is because the products in this industry change according to who won last night, meaning that things sell based on the outcomes of the major sporting events. One example of this is with the Golden State Warriors, ever since they’ve started to win the sales of products with Warriors logos have gone up by far, whereas sales for the Denver Nuggets (Who the Warriors beat) have gone way down.
