Well, although this isn't my actual first day of my internship at ProForma, it is the first day that I decided to jump into the world of blogging, so I guess we'll start here. We can take a trip through time to last week when I was just a lowly intern with no desk and no direction, but we may as well stay in the present where I'm a lowly intern (with an office!) and no direction.
Starting an internship in the field you have been preparing for in the past 4 years of your university experience makes you realize just how little the things you learn in your marketing classes really apply in the real world. "let me look back at my text book to see how we can market this" or "I remember jr. year in professor whatever's class when we talked about this" are things I'm never going to consider.
Real world experience is WAY more beneficial. I can honestly say that in a week of being at this internship with ProForma who specialize in document management, I have learned more about marketing and IT than in a semester at UNCW.
More on the higher up's and what I'm doing there later!
Oh, if you want to check out the company I'm interning for, here they are:
