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.

Spring Break!!!

Finally back at Webook, its been two LONG weeks and i wish i can be sleeping still. Over the spring break i did a few exciting things. I went to the queens mall with my girlfriend and spent the whole day shopping there.I spent almost my whole vacation with her either in her house or outside walking around.Other days i went bike riding with my co-worker/best friend justin we went t0 Pelham bay in the Bronx,we also went to a skate park learned a few new tricks. I also caught up on alot of work i had to make up for school.Overall i had a good spring break it wasn't the best but it was better than the other school breaks i had this school year.

SPRING BREAK!!!

Returning back to the WEbook office this morning, after a quite bitter vacation. Spending my two weeks of relaxing and trying to make up work for school. I Had a lot of home alone days That i spend outside either riding my bike or painting canvas'. There were days were I hung out with a different group of friends each day and days i had spent alone studying. It wasn't the most exciting spring break ever but I made the most out of it that I could. Though the days i spent with my significant other made the vacation go by faster. Id say the most i did this vacation was express myself in art in many forms and take a few bad spills at the local skate park on my bike. Now it back to buisness for me this week. Had my time to slack and now its back to the books or as I should say now back to the WEbooks.

Internship Day 7 of 12

Hectic day today at WEbook, brainstorming for the release of an upcoming WEbook novel called ''The Legend of Vinny Wiskers". We had a meeting at our office today considering which type of audiences would find the book appealing and how in what was can we attract readers and other sources of reading such as blogs and Internet sites to really place this book on the market. Though we have came up with many ideas to advertise this novel to readers nothing is set in stone and finalized. This book may be a great book for young readers, that are more of the reading types interested in reading about a talking prairie dog in a war with rats. There also was another book on it was for production called "Shirt for Dessert", a children's book about a child who can break a habit of chewing on her clothes. This book is a great story for children and add some small humor to its text for the enjoyment of young, I personally think its good and would recommend it. Tomorrow, beginning a new day a further instructing of my marketing and editing skills here at WEbook, until then my day here has ended.

7th day of Internship

I feel like today was the longest day at Webook so far. While we was here we read a short story called "shirt for dessert" and a novel called "The Legend of Vinny Whiskers". After reading my classmate and i wrote down ideas we thought would be good to market the novel for different age and social groups. In my opinion i found the short story very interesting but i didnt really find the novel fun to read but younger readers may like it more than me. After coming back from lunch we had a a meeting in our conference room talking about the different ideas that can be used to market the book to sell more copies to a vast audience and to bring more people to Webook.
