December 2nd - First Day Of Internship

This is it, after sending all those internship applications, I finally found the place I want to do my internship for the next 3 month.


Before beginning to describe my first day, I'm going to give a bit of background.

I considered 20 PR firms and agencies for a placement and eventually applied to quite a number and got accepted to 3 places where among those I chose, Text100. The reason I chose Text100 was that from my research it seemed to have an excellent organisational culture, their client list was very impressive and they are highly tech based (an area of my interest).






I did a complete research on Text100 and prepared everything I needed to know for the interview. and tadaaa I received the email for an interview. Was happy to be called for an interview, I knew as long as they like my resume, impressing them on the interview is a piece of cake, and it was! the interview went very well, I received the acceptance letter within a few hours and here I am a month later, starting my very first day.






On my first day I woke up early, put on the best formal outfit I had and made myself presentable, considering I had a phone interview and today, I'd make the first impression.

I had looked up the company on map and estimated the time from my house to my new office so I would be on time. Once I entered the office and started greeting with everyone, the friendly faces made me feel belong immediately, I was lucky there was a potluck among my colleague on the first day, what a great opportunity to mingle around with the colleagues and get to know everyone.





So far, I've only been trained on how to use the software and all, yet to know my daily task, am looking very forward to it.






Stay tuned for my next posts.
