My time as an intern at Talk is at an end, and I simply can’t believe it. My last day is Thursday, April 22. All of the experiences I’ve had here flood my mind as I write this entry, and bring a smile to my face. I have learned so much about the industry in general, and have sharpened my skills in research and writing. All internships offer a different but equally educational experience and my time here at Talk is truly memorable.
Looking back, I think my favorite part of working at Talk was interacting with clients. When I delivered final products to clients, I saw their eyes light up as they opened their product and I knew, every time, that the Talk team delivered a successful product once again. These experiences evoked such rewarding feelings, and I found it’s easy to be the messenger when you carry a positive message!
I also enjoyed writing blog posts because it is something I have always wanted to do, but never had the time or energy for. Reading articles upon articles, trying to learn about recent trends, turned into a habit and now I am more informed than ever.
As an intern, it is important that you not only do work for the company, but you do work for yourself. After all, you’re volunteering your time to learn. After this internship I will take away several writing pieces for my portfolio, as well as communicative skills useful to many situations and a better understanding of how the industry functions. Interning for Talk has given me confidence and helped prepare me for the “real world” I’ll face after I graduate in December!
