The reason I accepted the internship in Diners was because we are currently in the Marketing unit and I am interested in learning more about this working in an actual company that will focus on that. Also, working in the sales department is something that interests me. For me, the purpose of each internship will always be to explore these different careers and see if any catches my attention for college.

Goals/Learn
Goal #1o How a company works and how do you run it During the whole day I will have the opportunity to experience how the company works, what are the roles of the managers and every employee. My dad owns a company of his own and in the future I will either manage that company as well or maybe have my own, so it’s important to know how companies like this one work. | Goal #2o Learn new marketing and sales skills In the internship I will be in the marketing and sales department and by being involved in this for a long time, I want to make sure I absorb some of the knowledge marketers have and also learn the skills that stand out from them. | Goal #3o Will marketing be one of my possible career choices? As said before, I am at a point where I am eager to discover what is the best career choice for me. But, one of the reasons I haven’t chosen one yet is because I don’t have a lot of knowledge of every career. With the knowledge I have now from our marketing unit I have to say that it does look like an interesting profession and it may be one of my possible career choices. However, I want to make sure that it suits me and having this internship will be the perfect way to answer this. |
