Introduction
I did my internship at the Marketing and Communications Office at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS) at Maastricht University.
I send out my CV to several companies and institutions. After being invited for an interview by three different organisations I decided that I wanted to do my internship here, at the Marketing and
NASCAR Background: NASCAR stands for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. NASCAR was founded in 1948 by Bill France Sr. Bill France Sr was a mechanic at the time. NASCAR’s first event was held at Dayton Beach in 1948 and that’s where NASCAR’s headquarters are now. NASCAR hosts races all over the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
One experience I think that has helped me prepare for the role of an Apprentice is my present job; this job has allowed me to work directly with both students and teachers in a school setting. This experience has allowed me to learn about school culture, creating curriculums around teamwork and has most of all allowed me to learn how to build rapport with students based of their interest and needs. Another experiences I have had that I think makes me a great candidate for this apprenticeship opportunity is being apart of the inaugural class of Guttman Community College. The reason why I make this claim is because being apart of this community taught me to take initiative, because there was no clubs and no platform furthermore, as inaugural
“Food Inc.” is a documentary which uncovered the truth about food industries in America. Contrary to the images they are showing to the public, animals like cows and chickens are no longer raised on the field but in unsanitary and infectious houses. Cows are forced to eat corns instead of grass, which caused them E. coli, and instead of abandoning this new technology companies just use more chemicals to erase virus out of meat. Farmers and workers are forced to work underpaid and not allowed to talk about the companies’ policies. Slaughterhouses are getting bigger and bigger, thus it is easier for virus and bacteria to pass from one animal to the other through the hand of the workers.
I am currently a Resident Assistant (RA) in Noehren Hall at the University of Northern Iowa. I came to UNI with limited knowledge about the field of Student Affairs or the impact it has on college campuses. When I became an RA my sophomore year, I instantly fell in love with how I was able to use my passion to connect and build strong relationships with those around me. I currently am in my second year of being a resident assistant here at UNI in a traditional dormitory. I have also gotten involved in SAA here at UNI.
I am right writing this letter to inform you about how life been after graduating from UNCG and the career I chose after graduating. The semester before graduating, I was doing an internship that was involved with my major. The internship was to go work as an assistant for a well-known physical therapist for about 5 months and gain experience under my belt. After the internship, I learned that I wanted to become a physical therapist assistant and have to gain even more experience. When the time for graduation came, I already have over 500 + hours of volunteer hours that involves with customer service and also physical therapy.
Using logos, pathos and ethos influence the people and always has a purpose of why they create the advertisement and for who. Majority of all the advertisement can be for child, teenagers, and adult. The point is cooperation’s or business has a message of representation from their companies that it makes them unique but people has to have more power of controlling how they react to advertisement and pay attention to little details. Advertisement has purpose, audience and language and in common it has persuaded, inform and

People who know me have often called me eccentric. Although one might think this description is not a compliment, to me, “eccentric” is a word that reflects perfectly on my passion for baseball. Through baseball, I have made many friends in all gender, ages, and backgrounds. My passion for baseball has also opened up doors to new learning opportunities. I worked as a three-weeks summer intern at Sports Marketing Laboratory Inc. Throughout the internship, I completed three tasks; made a mock marketing presentation using numerical data that I obtained from Google Analytics, participated in operation of online baseball broadcasting service called “Pa League TV”, and made an hour presentation based on the material called “The Future of Sports
By participating as an SIP intern, I hope to gain experience in the scientific field and to further my passion in science. When I am a working adult, I would be most happy spending my days in bioengineering. I highly enjoy delving into biology- I love the classes, reading its applications, and researching what the career is like. Thinking narrowly, participating as an SIP intern gives me a chance to spend my summer well.
It’s not with every college that one may come across opportunities such as those Westminster offers to its students. After visiting the school and attending a breakout session for the Honors Program, I knew that I had to apply. The program immediately appealed to me for multiple reasons, a couple of these being its challenging nature and uniqueness. In not many other places can students have sit-down conversations with guest speakers and get one-on-one attention from professors. In not many other programs would I have the opportunity to write a graduate level Honors Thesis my senior year.
While I was searching for the college I wanted to begin the next part of my life in, I decided I wanted to attend an HBCU that was in a large city. Not only does Howard University fulfill both of these, but Howard also has all of my passions and interests in and outside of the classroom. I am interested in pursuing a Sociology degree within The College of Arts and Sciences. I want to organize my studies with a focus around the black community and urban development. The required and elective courses such as Problems in the Black Community within Howard’s Sociology curriculum will allow me to shape my classes to do this.
Interning at DFCS has most certainly impacted my personal, professional, and academic goals. Before my internship, I knew I wanted to pursue my Master of Social Work after graduation and had some ideas about potential careers within the social work realm. My internship with DFCS has truly solidified my desire to pursue an MSW. While I have enjoyed my placement at DFCS, the internship has shown me that I don’t think DFCS is necessarily the agency I would like to work with after graduating with my masters. My work with DFCS (and seeing how many of our clients struggle with substance abuse) has solidified my thoughts that I would like to one day work as a substance abuse and mental health counselor.
Marketing is defined as a philosophy implemented by a set of processes that focuses on the customers’ satisfaction. It has four major activities that revolve around the consumer value. The activities are creating the products and services, communication, delivery, and exchange. Every company strives to implement the marketing concept to achieve its goals. There are mainly four major philosophies that different companies use to steer their marketing strategies.
During my internship program although our team had no leader, I took the responsibility to distribute the work among our team to ensure we finished on time. I am always a team player who believes in ‘Teamwork makes a Dream works’ – The benefit of accessing more ideas, working in harmony and helping each other for achieving mutual goals. I also never restrained myself to curriculum and participated in many seminars on topics related to computer science, information technology, and entrepreneurship. I underwent training in programming language and was also exposed to the practical nature of
Strategic marketing is a broad and practical subject which included the concept of marketing subjects of previous semesters such as business marketing. The study of this subject has contributed to marketing knowledge in many ways, as well as it has strengthened my skills in application of marketing concepts. My knowledge was increased that I was able to develop a complete strategic marketing plan of not only on the part of marketing analysis or strategy of a product or service, but also the whole corporate plan. My skills and capabilities that were developed and integrated during lectures and tutorials include the analytical skills, coordination skills, presentation skills, organization skills, etc.
