Hey everybody, it’s Ryan the intern! I just wanted to take a few minutes and write about my experience here at the SSE so far.
From day one, it has been fantastic working here. I’ve never had an office job before, although I do have a bit of other work experience. What I thought was going to be a month of being bored to death, cooped up in an office with a bunch of old people turned into being one of the most inspiring, exciting jobs with the greatest bunch of people I have ever worked with (and they aren’t even old, or at least you can’t tell)!!
Business, for me, has always been something I’ve studied only because it seemed like a practical way to get a job in one of the worst economies that the USA (yes, I’m American so excuse my different spelling of words) has ever seen. I don’t know whether it’s the English charm in this office, the fact that I feel like my work has meaning, or just the overall vibe in the office that we are all helping other people. We have started using a forwarding service that just helps us get our mail to different replika klockor office locations. But whatever it is, coming to work is a great part of my day and I’m sad to say I will have to leave at the end of the month to go back to school for my final semester before heading out into the real world. That said, I must repeat the first thing I learned in this office and that was where the tea is. How English! 🙂
Specifically, I’m working under Nick doing things like contacting the press, working back and forth with fellows and current students to finish up certain jobs, and organizing/analyzing (not analysing haha) data from evaluations and such. It’s been great fun as every day is a bit different, so it keeps me interested.
Finally, it’s just really interesting seeing how a non-for-profit works; it’s neat how we have to go about different strategies to keep things working like obtaining grants and the like because the SSE doesn’t rely on its program as its only source of income.
Well, that’s all from me for now. I’ll be back next Monday with another update of sorts, I’m sure.
Cheers!
