My Life as the Intern
by Taylor Kinser, July 21, 2010
Most summer jobs that teens get are fast food, babysitting, or something that involves working just for the money and not because you enjoy it. I, however, have the best of both worlds because I love what I do. Yes, as a graphic design major in college (UTC to be exact), an advertising agency seems a good fit for someone looking for real life experiences. I consider myself lucky because a lot of young adults my age are struggling to find a job they love, or any job at all. So why do I love it so much?
I began working for my dad about 3 yrs ago. I wanted the money and he wanted to give me the experience. I worked for Dad for a couple of summers until I realized that working for dad wasn’t working! I even tried to hostess at a Japanese restaurant ... which lasted 2 weeks at most for obvious reasons (the language barrier)! I was ready for something more…and more is exactly what happened to fall from the sky. At first I was very nervous and wanted to make sure I did my job well at KMT. I mean, answering the phone and running errands couldn’t be that hard! Occasionally, there were days in the beginning when I was so worried I was doing something wrong or I wasn’t quick enough running from place to place. Although it seemed like a breeze, some days I swear the phone would wait until I got halfway to the restroom and then decided to ring. Then there was the time I passed a location 8 times before knowing it was the exact location where I needed to stop!
Oh yes, in the beginning I was super nervous and worried that one small error would cause my perfect job to say goodbye. I have always done the job and then some, or so I like to think. Now after a year here at KMT, I feel like I am much more comfortable with my peers and have realized that the joy I feel is because of the staff and atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly, helpful, and creative! This is been, so far, the best job I have ever had! I mean, how could it be anything less than awesome when you’re learning first-hand experience in a graphic design related field, being a part of the creative work that takes place, and getting advice from some very talented designers?

Being an intern is such a hard job sometimes! Yes, a lot of it is mentally easy, but it is challenging in both a physical and emotional way. The first job I ever had that wasn't the typical teen job was so scary. I remember thinking that if I coughed at the wrong time, I'd be fired! (ok, that's a little exaggerated, but you get what I mean!) Looks like you are doing a great job! Congrats on your job and good luck with your future! Pediatrician |
