Oooli Beverages is the company that my group and I are going to work with for the next four months. This is the real deal. Acting as marketing consultants for a company. I’m quite excited and scared at the same time.
Do I have enough knowledge and can I really apply what I learned at BCIT to this project to my fullest potential?
This is a test. This is not only a test to see how well I can apply my knowledge, but also a test to see if I can actually work in a professional environment as a marketing consultant or whatever I become in the future.
Ideas are running through my head. But are they good enough? I know these thoughts seem pretty pessimistic, but to someone as young as me about to put myself out there in the real, professional world, I’m kind of scared. Will I be up to par with everyone else out there about to graduate who are much older than I? I bet if employers ever knew my age, they would be a little hesitant to hire me…or they might be excited to see and train a newcomer.
I think I’m more excited than scared right now. I have the help from my lovely group members. I’m sure we will do fine. And our faculty advisor is really helpful.
I also have to think of a few companies that I am interested in that I may what to know more about. A mentor interview to know how that certain industry professional got to where they are today. I am interested in looking at interior designers in the lower mainland. Nancy Riesco and Tanya Schoenroth both have designers in their company that have graduated from Kwantlen’s Interior Design program. Curious to hear their stories.
Another thing I must keep in mind is my practicum coming up in March. I’m really looking into doing the Marketing Internship at Vancouver Magazine. They are always taking in interns on an on-going basis. And I think it would be really good because I’m in the tourism option and it would really help me build more knowledge of my hometown as I grow older and start looking for a career.
So many things to do…so little time!
