Week of July 29



How would I describe this internship to an adult relative (e.g. aunt or uncle) using only three sentences? 


  • My internship basically deals with me getting assigned work from my coworkers at GRL, usually they are from my supervisor but sometimes they can be from other people as well. What I do is I set up web pages for authors who have sent material in to us. I make sure to read every material carefully and make sure the web pages are completed the way the author wants them to be; I do this by using a either Webcom 2, which is our main server, or Raptivity, which is an eLearning tool.


If I were describing it at an interview, what would I tell them? 


  •  My internship deals with me organizing, planning and carrying the task to provide the authors that work with us with quality work as well as make sure they get what they want. I am responsible for managing videos that authors send to us and make sure that they are in the proper movie player as well as size. Another key thing I do at my internship is work together with the other interns as well as other coworkers in order to make sure the authors get a great experience while working together with us here at GRL.


What are the differences between those descriptions?


  • I would have to say that the difference between these two descriptions is that the one of me describing it at an interview is more formal and details what I do at my internship. Were as my description to my adult relative is more about me telling them what I do in a broad sense and it is not that much detailed as the one I would use at an interview.  



 Special Event


I would have to say that with this week being my last week at GRL, I am truly blessed to have received an opportunity like this one in were I was able to expand my knowledge as well as I was able to expand my networking while working here. I have learned a lot thus far and I would not mind seeing myself at a place like this in the future. The people are great, the work environment is great,and even the food is great! I will definitely be talking about this experience for a very long time and I am excited to see how I can attach what I have learned here to school as well as in my everyday life. I am thankful for the opportunity I received and look forward to keeping in touch with the a few of the people that work here at GRL.
