Reflection of WEbook!

Through out a 6 week period I had an internship at WEbook, which is an online publishing company that's known for its user generated books. At WEbook I helped them go through projects on their website and look for interesting projects in which Id recommend for publishing, I've also worked on marketing and editing at WEbook. I helped WEbook come up with marketing ideas for an upcoming book and a coworker at WEbook showed me his editing methods and showed me how to use them, which I used to edit my previous blogs. They are many job positions at WEbook and to learn more about them I set up interviews with 2 of staff members at WEbook to learn more about there job, pay, experience and etc. From my experience at WEbook I must say I have learned very much as a student, employer and a person in general. I have learned how important certain skills are needed for jobs and their expectations and classes necessary to qualify for these jobs. At WEbook I became a different person then I was at school, taking on a more business like persona very concentrated on my work and completing all necessary work. This more business like persona was very different then how I am in school because at school I am more lay back and tend to slack on my work out of boredom but at WEbook I found my job interesting which helped me get more into my work. A job at WEbook whether its editing marketing or even production, Id find such a job very interesting for myself in the future and I believe this internship gave me a good training of these type jobs.

last day at WEbook

Sadly today is our final day interning at WEbook. Its been a great experience meeting new people and working in a different environment than school. Working here in WEbook for the past 6 weeks has been good and a learning experience for me. I got to see how it feels to work in a office job doing the type of work im interested in. Some of the things me and my fellow classmate did today was interview two of our co-workers here at WEbook. We asked them a couple of questions that we had on our interview sheet but we also got to ask more personal questions about them being here at WEbook. After we finish that me and my fellow classmate started to practice our lines for a video we was going to do for our project at school. We making a website and on that website we putting our video, pictures at WEbook and a little bit of information on what we do here and what WEbook is about. After we we done creating our web page we will be presenting it at our school Gala for our students, teachers and staff. As my day comes to and end here at WEbook i remember the past 6 weeks i been here and im glad i came and i don't regret one day.

Last day of internship at Webook!

Making an end to my journey here at WEbook, i must say I've had a wonderful time here at the WEbook office. I've had many experiences here at WEbook in which help me touch my more literal side and show me what it takes to be a employee at WEbook. There were many tasks for me today such as completing a project for school on the internship here. I interviewed 2 of my co-workers at WEbook whom had different job titles and helped me understand the requirements for a job here and what skills and classes are needed to have such a job and master a job title of that kind. Instead of making a poster for our project we decided to create a web page about our experience at WEbook, we also made a video for our website describing the WEbook website and its purpose to viewers. The web page is currently still in progress but I will use the web page for a presentation I have at my school's Gala. Though its been 12 days here at my internship time here has come to an end, I'd like to thank the company for letting my classmate and I be interns here and take part in a memorable lifetime experience.
