Having
taken mostly introduction classes thus far in my college career I didn’t have
the advantage of beginning my internship with much background knowledge of this
specific industry. That being said, the discipline I have gained from being in
such a rigorous academic environment at the University of Michigan has allowed
me to approach my given tasks at Katz Direct with a level of confidence that I
may otherwise not have had. Whenever I was given a large stack of paperwork to
either complete, fax, or file, I was able to concentrate and break down the
process efficiently, rather than being too overwhelmed by the excessive amount
of work to even know where to begin.
I was
pleasantly surprised by how genuinely nice and friendly all my co-workers were.
Whenever I would complete an assignment they would thank me for my hard work
and were very understanding of the tasks’ monotony. Each of them also went out
of their way to get to know me and learn about my career goals. This made for a
comfortable work atmosphere where I was able to ask questions, seek advice or
help, and voice concerns to those around me. Looking back, I am able to evaluate
how much this internship taught me about the television commercial industry as
well as the general day-to-day work done in a business office.
It sounds like you had a very good experience at your internship! The things you learned during this time is much more valuable than anything you could have learned in class! Now you will have a really cool experience to help you when you do start to take applicable classes! Best of luck!
