Internship Post 7

Dates: 7/6/17 - 7/10/17

Activities: CTG / NAF intern event, Make new page on Intranet

Technical Information: OpenText TeamSite

Reflection: The internship coordinator at Lenovo, or one of many at least, had organized an event called Intern Round Table set for July 11th. He informed us that we would be making introductions and gave us a slide template for us to fill out that said our name, school, intern position, what we learned, what we contributed to, and fun facts.

On Friday, Mr. Dave sent me a few powerpoints on some really helpful e-commerce tips. They're super informative about advertising and taking cautions in social media and purchasing. He's actually been incredibly helpful during my stay here, what with him trying to get in contact with those from other departments so I can get more experience, and even sending me powerpoints on his own time.

For Mr. James' privacy page on the legal team's section of the Intranet, I had to make a new page which I had never done before. Most of my work on the Intranet this far had been deleting or adding content to pages, never making a new page. It took a lot of time trying to figure out if what I was doing was right or not but through many, many trials, I finally could create a page and add it to the navigation bar. After I created the new page, I added in the content and that was it for the fourth week. 

This experience has really made me question my future plans. Starting in sophomore year I had maybe wanted to be in the medical field, nurse or doctor or PA, still unsure. But this internship has allowed me to experience the office life and I really enjoyed working with websites and software in this sort of setting. I can never be absolutely positive about my decisions but I do know I don't regret the decision to apply for this internship.
