Input and save the data in Excel in an organized way. Participate in lectures and campaigns held by our competitors and record information such as date, place, lecturer and content in Word. Analyze merits and defects of these activities. Take part in meetings every other week to discuss difficulties we met and bring up constructive measures to solve these problems.
