1st Day

So today is my first day at Open Channel. I arrived 40 minutes early because i got a lift in with my dad who works near Docklands, luckily Catherine (my supervisor) was there to welcome me and show me around.

So far today I have met:
Catherine Leos - Marketing and Development Manager.
Martin Renaud - Executive Director.
Vanessa Steinberg - Short Course Coordinator.

Catherine has set me up in the main office on a computer where todays jobs so far include finding 10 bookshops to send out flyer's about film and film makers short courses. I had to find bookshops on Brunswick St, Smith St and St Kilda. Unfortunetly i could not find any bookshops in Smith St, but I did find a few in Brunswick St and St Kilda.

They are:
Brunswick Street Bookstore
Artisan Books
Grub Street Bookshop
Bookhouse
Chronicles Book Shop
Readings
The Grotto
Eastend Booksellers

Once i found the bookshops, i then had to ring them and find out if they would be interested in distributing the flyer's.
Catherine also asked for the dates of the last Thursday in Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sept, Oct and Nov of 2009 which I emailed to her. These dates are for a short course next year.
After those two jobs I was then asked to put labels on envelopes and put the short course flyer's in them.
So far the day is going good, I'm having a good time and everyone is really friendly. Im just a little tired because i had to work till 10:30 last night and I'm not really a morning a person ;)

The rest of the day consisted of putting letters and flyer's into envelopes which would be sent out to Library's and Art Centers around Victoria.
