As part of the semester program we are required to take an internship position somewhere in the city. Before arriving I had been in communication with Jubilee USA for a researching position which would give me access to office discussions about policy and initiatives. I really wanted the position because it would have given me greater influence inthe thinking and actions of the organization than some gopher position pushing pencils.
I did not get the position, but just Tuesday they called while I was on the way with my group to Ben's Chili place and they asked if I were interested in working in the Communications office, which overlaps a lot with the research office. I have been reviewing the position since Wednesday when I got a more detailed email about the position.
I really do like the job, but I am wondering how qualified I am to do some of the more technical things. I am not a Communications major or minor, I am a Communication minor, notice the "s" is different but it makes a world of difference. So... I have some free time this afternoon and have emailed and left a phone message asking if its ok to come by this afternoon for a quick tour and a little OJT before I fully commit to accepting the position. I hope that none of what I would be doing is beyond difficult, so that with a little practice and some intitial questions, I will be able to pick it up quickly and easily.
I will report back later today or tomorrow with intern news... We are all going out tonight for the Monument Walk to see some of the monuments around town.
