What a month! These thirty days have
absolutely been the best experience so far with enriching and memorable experiences,
new-born friendships and multi-stress faces which in other words means daily
cups of adrenaline; this is why communications people like this particular
environment. As my boss told me, “You have to be crazy enough to work in the
Communications field.” Yes, I totally agree with his statement. Yet it can
really stressing and demanding, a good sense of humor is what solidifies team
works and of course, release the daily stress; particularly when you work for
an institution which has to maintain a specific reputation and keep a certain
standard.
What’s hilarious about my personal
experience is that I always said, I was never going to work in any financial or
banking institutions and finally, it is where I ended. I’m now regretting each
words of this futile promise. In fact, I learnt even more. As this particular
saying says by itself: “The only journey is the one within.” This internship
has in fact, been the one which confirmed my real desire to work in the Communications
field because It completely fits my personality and feeds my passion.
The Communications Strategic Business
Unit (SBU) people, as they call it, have definitely played a big role in my apprenticeship.
They took their time to explain each asset and negative aspects of a
Communication job. They showed me how to handle difficult and stressful
situations because it forms part of it. Even though, I think the most exciting
part of my internship was the press conferences. I felt important and part of
the team and this is what I will miss the most: MCB People and Press
conferences.
As every last days you’re experiencing
in life, it hasn’t been an easy day. It’s when you start to get a routine and
create new friendly relationships that you need to go. Life should have a
rewind button; anyway I’m glad to have tasted the life of an MCB working person
and it felt great. #Thank-youTeamMCB

Hi Anne-Clothilde, glad you enjoyed your internship. MCB really looks a nice place to work and your post was really a throwback of what you have learned. You were lucky enough to find a place with are people who are willing to guide you in the communications field. It is a demanding field and something that I have learned as an Intern is that the work is not limited to only the working hours. At times you will have to bring your work load at home to meet deadlines. I guess we are really one step closer to enter in the real world, good luck to you in your future endeavors!
