Did it Match My Expectations?
Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect at the start. Sure, I checked out Image Line’s online website, but I wasn’t entirely clear about what I was signing up for. However, that uncertainty piqued my interest even more. Stepping into this week, I felt a mix of curiosity and excitement. I was immediately put at ease when finally meeting the team, their warm vibe lowering my new corporate guard and allowing me to feel right at home.
Embracing Variety and Finding Surprises
As the week unfolded, I got to dip my toes into a variety of tasks that I never saw coming. The range of things they had me doing was a great whirlwind tour of the unknown. I think the best part for me was instead of being an observer, I was right in the thick of things. I teamed up with other employees, working on actual tasks that contributed to the business. This hands-on approach was not what I expected at all, but it was a very pleasant surprise.
What I Liked and What Clicked
Now, let’s talk about the good stuff – what I liked and what really clicked with me. The most exciting part of this whole experience was how interactive everything was. I got my first task from Derek, the Social Media Manager – to write and publish a LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook post. I got to flex my creative muscle straight away, biting my teeth into actual work – something I am very grateful for.
Looking Forward with Confidence
As I wrap up this whirlwind week, I can confidently say that my interest in the working world has been fuelled even more. The range of tasks I have tackled has upped my cooperate knowledge and boosted my confidence by providing me with great real-life experiences. This great experience has also given me the confidence to commute through London alone, something that is personally new to me; it has opened many doors.
Thank You, Image Line
In just four days, I blended into the Image Line team, becoming a part of their collaborative, passionate culture. The mix of tasks and the wisdom shared by the team have left a lasting impression on my understanding of PR and marketing and generally how the working world operates.
I am very thankful to Sue and the entire Imageline team for enabling me to have his great opportunity and I hope to cross paths with Image Line again soon.
