After two weeks of training and a week of administrative work, I was sent to my first client. Even though we were very well prepared, I was still stressed and didn’t know what to expect. After meeting the entire team, I quickly felt more at ease. They were there for me every step of the way; they answered my 1,001 questions and did it with a smile. My first mandate was challenging and I loved it! There were so many things to balance at once: learning a new job, multitasking, meeting new people and finding the right technique to approaching a client whom I was not previously acquainted with.
My second mandate was less stressful. I knew what to expect and was better prepared for the tasks that I had to accomplish. My 1,001 questions from the first mandate served a good purpose; I had learned more than I thought and I was more productive.
I couldn’t be happier with my internship; it exceeded my expectations and led me to meet an amazing group of people (both summer interns and employees). I can’t wait for the weeks to come!
