So today was my first day at Harman as a marketing intern. It was all a little overwhelming but exciting nonetheless. There is only one other intern there (who I’m actually living with for the summer) and as a result it feels like we’re treated as equal employees with the same responsibilities and projects. I have my own (fairly large) cubicle, computer with dual screens, and soon I’ll have my own projects to complete.
The building was built last year so everything is brand new and very clean. There is a high end recording studio where they test prototype signal processing effects where I’ll be working occasionally.
I have a meeting set for tomorrow morning where I’ll get a list of current projects that need to be completed, and I can see what’s doable for me. My boss was explaining that there are a lot of different types of things that are currently lower on a priority level for the other people on the marketing team, and I’ll pick those things up. It sounds like I’ll be working with different types of audio clips, preparing stems and other files, and also doing some video editing. I will also occasionally assist the man in charge of everything that happens in the recording studio. I’ll be sitting in and helping with tracking and audio testing for new signal processing units.
Glad to hear you have another intern to work with. I hope that relationship works out well. When everyone on the team has the same level of commitment, it can help with finding your way in that working environment. Plus it gives you a connection with someone else in the wider working world. Every connection is the potential to help you find that next project or job.
