Valuable experience in a leading industry

Snack Media was a great place to intern at for a variety of reasons. The internship was a great experience due to the exposure of the business and its industries. Snack Media could be described as an innovative company utilising the latest technological advances. Coming to the internship, it wasn’t obvious what exactly I would be doing because the company does so much. However, the internship was very organised and specific. The work for the interns was always presented clearly with concise instructions.

The internship involved several tasks, which I appreciated greatly as an intern eager to learn. Other internships can become monotonous with the same task set daily. This can prove very tedious and then becomes too routine-like. Fortunately, the internship at Snack Media was quite the opposite because it involved learning something new almost every time an assignment was briefed. The work for the internship wasn’t office-related, but content specific. That being said, the internship provided insight as to what the company was about and how it goes about its business and the completion of work. The interns were provided training and information about the company, but learned the most through the actual tasks, which says a lot about the programme.

One of the best aspects of the internship was the fact it makes students well-rounded which I was able to appreciate the most. The assignments were all very different from one another and required different skills. Most of the skills used to complete projects were taught from the employees of Snack Media.  From that process, interns are able to develop into qualified individuals at the end of the internship. During my time at Snack Media, new skills were developed and I became better-rounded career wise. This internship has helped me prepare for a successful job search in the future by enabling me valuable experience in a leading industry.
