My only real goal was to find an artist, any genre and standing within the industry, and to pitch them at a meeting. I was not given a set structure on how to pitch it, nor told what the company was looking for overall other than a marketable artist. It left a lot of inconsistencies and confusion for me. And since a lot of interns did not come in on Thursday’s, the days of the weekly publishing meetings, I did not have a set idea of what to do. It made me very uneasy about how to pitch artists, what type of artists to pitch, and what the company wanted from me in the meetings. Plus, the questions I asked were often not detailed and I was just told to find something I like and pitch it too many times. It was just very simple instructions …show more content…
Other than that, I did learn more about the industry than just in the context of work specific projects. I learned what and how to look into artists to see if they were published and if so who with. I learned great ways to find new and talented artists on a variety of different media platforms. It taught me more about the industry and the small tasks and interactions I experienced daily while under this department were more important to me than the work they provided. While I loved the projects given by marketing, I liked the experience I gained under the publishing branch more, and as time went on I went out of my way to learn more and ask more questions. The developed my individual thinking more and pushed me to work harder on seemingly simple tasks. Also, my typical office work was just as valuable to me as well. Although, probably the most mundane thing to do there, I learned how the office is run on a day-to-day. I learned a lot of ins and outs in the workplace that some other interns missed because they did not put themselves out there to do it. I also got to interact with more people in and out of the office while learning key functions of keeping a business like Primary Wave functioning. There were a lot of little things one does not really think about or think a business needs until you have to do it. Primary Wave was definitely an
An internship can also heighten the awareness of community issues, motivates to create opportunities, embrace new ideas, and give direction to positive change. A successful internship can provide valuable information in making decisions about the direction of future studies or employment. An internship is an opportunity to not only use and develop industry-related knowledge and skills, but also to enhance some of the skills that are transferable to any professional work setting. For some people, the internship is the first introduction to the world of work. No matter where the skills and understanding of professionalism lie, internship is a chance to develop them even further.
Interning at the FBI is one of my most meaningful experiences because it gave me the opportunity to serve in my community, learn how to effectively communicate between the intelligence community and the outside community, as well as strengthened my leadership skills.
The main task of my internship was to gain more experience and knowledge of our respective field. Overall, the experience proved to be both enjoyable and rewarding. During this internship I used the skills that I learned from my Medical Assistant class and used them in the real world scenarios at the hospital. Also while I there I was exposed to new experiences. Such as performing Urine test on Drug and alcohol patients. For this procedure I had to stand in the restroom with the patient's and watch them urinate into a cup. I had to stand in the restroom with the patients because in the past they try and cheat the system. For example
The world is filled with different kinds of people who can learn information in different ways. Many people can learn simply through being taught in a traditional classroom with the help from textbooks. Of course, there are many other ways to learn new material. However, I strongly feel that actually observing work and seeing all the angles of work being performed can be more beneficial to a person. Internships can help people or students see and learn what they could not in a traditional class setting. They can also give students a better understanding of what their future profession might involve. It is very difficult to learn concepts until a person is able to see or experience them for his or herself. I chose to undergo an internship at a chiropractic clinic because chiropractic is the profession that I am striving to reach in my future.
Students receive on-the-job experience prior to graduation, and the internship assists them in obtaining permanent employment. Facilities benefit from the opportunity to participate in and improve the formal education process. Quite often, students who complete professional practice experiences are later employed by the facility at which they completed the internship.
After speaking to people, I often had a time to reflect on what I heard. The product was a much greater understanding of the complexity of the American political system. I grew up thinking that that one side was right, and the other was full of irrational arguments. However, people sharing bits of their lives with me taught me that is not true. The support and opposition for every policy makes sense, and deciding which is right is far more of a value judgment than a facts-based judgment than I could have imagined. I feel less sure about what I believe politically after the internship, but again, I do not think that is a bad thing. For the first time, I know how to enter into a thought process without a bias, and able to listen to both sides. This skill is critical for any studies or career in the social sciences.
There was not much that I was required to do except encourage the youth during the pool time. There were times throughout the internship that I wished I was given more responsibility. However I was glad to learn, and help in any way that I could. That first week I had the opportunity to attend the church board meeting. I witnessed the difference of opinion that some of the church leaders had in regards to time off. Most of the church staff wanted more days off to spend with family. This was one of the primary issues ongoing with the staff at the church. I learned about church politics and the operation of the church.
a) List two areas of legislation that you may need to consider when organising and conducting meetings.
During an internship you would want to learn about the business that you are interning for. You wouldn’t want your experience to just be about answering phone and pushing papers. My time that I have spent thus far interning in the Athletic Department has not been a waste of time. I have learned that even though the Athletic Department is part of the school, it is still operated as a normal business. Also, I have learned that is very important that every
My tasks varied each day at Shady Hollow. I loved this because it meant there was always something new to learn and I did not get bored. However, for a large part of my internship I worked at the front desk of the country club. Our front desk was manned from 9:00-5:00 Tuesday through Friday. It would be the first place people see when they walk in the doors and also where the phones and emails are filtered through. I loved working at the front desk because it put me at the heart of the office. All of the managers at Shady Hollow had an open door policy, this meant I was exposed to the work they were doing while I did my own. Often they called me in to their meetings or gave me tasks to do that would help them. I greatly enjoyed this and I learned
This summer has by far been the most meaningful due to my internship at the Lloyd Moss Free Clinic. I had a wonderful opportunity to use my summer before college to explore healthcare professions and learn how a free clinic functions. Throughout my experience, I was exposed to many different professions within a clinic. My daily task consists of a wide variety of activities. I would begin by sorting and filing patient document, gathering charts for upcoming appointments, and helping the clinical operations director with projects regarding referrals. Then, I would continue my day at the call center. While assisting at the call center, I was able to learn what exactly each department handles at the clinic and I was exposed to a variety of terms
In addition, I value the work most do in offices because at times it is very tedious. Every individuals job is important in an office setting because it is like a well running machine. If one part is not functioning then the entire machine is useless. It is crucial to be responsible with all tasks to have the company running smoothly. By meeting deadlines at the time stated or earlier. As well as always taking initiative for tasks you might understand how to complete because it may help your company excel . It allows you to gain experience and develop you skills, which is how this internship has helped me. I gained knowledge in an area I did not know existed and I was able to develop new skills that I can now apply in my everyday life to help me become a better
Typically, internships are professional experiences that students participate in to gain professional skills and experiences. In this particular experience at Accounting Firm X I did in fact gain substantial professional skill while participating in new and challenging experiences. Internships allow in- class material to come to life in a practical manner. My internship did do this but not in a way that I had planned.
Our FME business started off with five people and eventually grew to fifteen, which was a big change for all of us. Along with the change in numbers, we also had to execute the idea that we originally had and make it a reality. This meant deciding an organizational structure and delegating work and the only way the company would function well would be if everybody did their part properly. I got the part of CEO, which meant I had to make sure that every department was doing their part. Additionally, we had a problem receiving our inventory, so we could only do two things: make all the preparations before we received our inventory and make as many pre-sales in as possible. This is where the conflict arose. As I was walking round campus I
For this experience I obtained through my final year project, in which I need to design and manufacture a simple device. I may need to use some tools I had never use before such as the electric drill. That project is basically about wave energy converter. This experience broaden my knowledge about engineering as general and allows me to learn things that I cannot obtained in class such as real engineering design experience where I need to planed, drew and even manufactured my own design with the help of workshop during my final year project, while in this internship I experience firsthand how to manage and checking an ongoing project in such a huge scale and also how a team should work in big group compared to a small group of 4-5 people in class.
