I chose this internship because I knew I wanted to get some experience at a fun and interesting company. Also, I knew I wanted to intern somewhere with a formal internship set up where it was more organized than internships I have had in the past. Also, I felt that my internship had to be in the field of communications. Discovery fulfills all of these requirements that I set. Lastly, I have a friend that used to intern with Discovery and she loved it (and now works here!)
I see this as a very useful internship for my career because I am working directly in the field that I am headed for- communications. Although I am used to working in a more entertainment based office, I think it is important for me to gain insight into a different aspect of public relations. By the end of my internship, if I can write, research and pitch about education (a topic I don't know too much about yet) then I'll be able to work with any topic at any job in the future.
Just like any other internship I have done in the past, I am excited to be in a new office. It's always fun to meet new people- learn about them, hear what they do, what they've done in the past and advice they have for me. Discovery seems to stress the idea of setting up short meetings with different people in the company that you would never normally talk to. This seems like an awesome opportunity for me because it will give me such a greater understanding of what this gigantic company actually does.
