So far our Creative Industries internship has been nothing but a delight. I have come to realize that this internship is not only fun and games, but has instead helped develop our professionalism. Just the other day I finally learned what to say when someone asks me for a general introduction of myself. This was such a great improvement from my occasional “um’s…..” and “uh’s….” that I would usually utter on the chance that I was asked about myself. These speeches are known as our elevator speeches, they are short speeches that get all of our important information across within 30 seconds to an acceptable audience. It is bizarre to me that practicing elevator speeches has not been implemented in many schools, because it really should be. The next day we worked on our resumes and even had a panel discussion with professionals in the field of arts and culture. All these opportunities that we’ve been able to have thus far, are the results of efforts taken by the CVA, Creative Industries, and Goodwill that illustrate a benevolence to it’s interns and their futures.
