1. I was professional. I showed up 15 minutes early (avoiding absenteeism). I had taken a shower and my hair was brushed and clipped back. I wore a satin blouse with a blazer and comfortable, professional shoes. I was clean and did not wear excessive amount of make-up. Only chap-stick and mascara. This was good because all the other women and men were dressed casually, but on the nicer, more put-together side of casual. Except the IT guy, he was sagging ripped jeans and had a huge beard, but a shaved head. It was an interesting look. I learned that looking nice builds confidence and made me feel like I fit in better with the work crowd.
2. I was dedicated. On Tuesday, I spent over three hours researching what it means to be a social media and marketing intern and what goals I have for my 6 week internship. I typed out a work plan and even though only two goals were required, I wrote out 8 just in case any goals were not acceptable or doable. I was also very literate, typing up and sending everything to Aliyya Shelley Mattos. She complimented my work and thanked me for creating clear and accessible goals. I am happy to say that I will be able to start actually completing the goals of a Social Media and Marketing Intern for PaperSeed Foundation this Thursday. I learned to continue to work hard on a project and to recheck everything you do because dedicated hard work pays off.
1 Area of Growth
1. I was not diligent. I forget to get my internship agreement signed. I even remembered to bring it to the CellMark Office. I am very forgetful and wish I was more organized and had remembered to get her to sign the paper. This is holding me back because I was supposed to turn the Internship agreement in on June 16th to my Liason. I will get it done this Thursday though, and I have written it down everywhere, so hopefully I will remember. I learned to focus and try not to be an air head.
