Work Now, Work Later

My ideal career choice was something in Marketing with a preferred location in Healthcare. My applied study is exactly the same as my ideal career and this is definitely something I want to be doing in the future. If I don’t get a job offer from Phoenix Children’s when I am finished I will take all of the things I have put together and bring it to a different company. I have been keeping printouts of everything that I have worked on or been a part of and put it in sheet protectors in a three ring binder. I have even been taking pictures of some of the events I have coordinated and plan on printing those out as well.

My perception has changed definitely. What are cool are all the different responsibilities that marketing asks of you but also the flexibility as well. Some weeks I might do meetings and others I might be teaching marketing at Thunderbird High School and somehow those are related. It is really fun, but don’t misunderstand me everything is a process in this industry. You start with an idea and it could take a long time for it to become any sort of substance. Honestly, I don’t know what I am not going to get out of this internship; everyday has been something new and exciting.

* Taught a Marketing class.

* Coordinated a soccer event.

* Helped coordinate a gymnastics event.

* Dressed up like Dudley the mascot, and was on Television.

* Written press releases.

* Managed meetings with possible clients/businesses to Dr. Vaughn

* Made sales calls to possible contacts and partners.

* Shared ideas with Ad Agency on issues concerning exposure/brand.

It's examples like these and many more that makes me feel like I am not just some intern but I am actually an equal part of the team.
