Week 2 – Learning the Ropes

This week I had to come in for my internship only once, but I doubled my hours, so I worked two days in one. My supervisor did not have any appointments in the morning that day, so most of the time I was just helping her and we worked together. Some of my tasks were to help her with Instagram and reply to different clients she works with, I also got to work with the images for the composite cards and constructed a portfolio of one of the older model’s pictures. I got to manage agency’s social media platforms. As always, I was using email to contact different people and answer any questions they might have had. This time, the business was not that busy, so I did not get to participate that much. My supervisor and I have discussed for me to help her with the website for the business, but I am still learning about how her business works and I am only in the beginning of my Web Design class. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I would have a better knowledge of how I can assist her with that. I will also have an opportunity to design her applications and maybe I will even get a chance to create a logo or some kind of inspiring posters that she could use or put around her office for new interviewees to see. So far, my workload has not been so rigorous, but it is only the beginning! I am excited to move forward and learn new skills and tips from my courses that I could apply to this internship.

  1. That is a lot of project options! Don’t be afraid to have a conversation with your employer about how you prioritize them. They may not have as clear an idea about which projects are within your skill set, which will stretch you, and which will look best in your portfolio. Ultimately their decision is final, but your input can help shape the goals for your time there.
