Week 8 the 5th of May

I’m very relieved at the beginning of my internship everything seems perfectly and fine then I had to go back to Holland and I got the feeling that this is not going to get any better and I am not going to learn anything in the department I want to work in however I am glad that the situation has taken again an unexpected turn of events

During today’s crisis management team meeting my supervisor and his partner concluded that a balance of the expenses and income made by the online courses is needed based on predictions and assumptions. After the meeting I called Sasha and we decided to divide the work, Sasha will focus on the expenses and I will focus on the income. To help each other a little we exchanged some tips which should be taken into account for the expenses it is the number of hours spent in the currency and for income, it is selling ratio from all employees involved in selling the courses online based on a course of eight weeks.

To not just provide my supervisor with random numbers which we cannot support and explain verbally we have decided to ask for help from our colleagues in the finance department. With their help, we come up with remarkable numbers that we can show and support by explaining why the expenses are as high as we expect and the revenue to be this high. We have also asked our colleagues if they could make a pie chart out of the numbers we calculated and received it by the end of the afternoon.
