Prioritizing Work: As an intern I constantly had a lot of small, tedious tasks. I found myself prioritizing my
work over my lunch break and would skip it in order to assure I got everything done that was expected of me.

Creating/Proposing New Ideas: One of my internships was as a marketing intern at Plaza Indonesia, a high-
scale mall in Jakarta. They were trying to figure out new ways to reach out to people and bring them into the
mall. They were constantly throwing events with celebrity appearances and they used social media platforms
such as Facebook and Instagram but I suggested that they move towards developing and popularizing a
Snapchat account. Through that I also developed a Geofilter on Snapchat for shoppers to use while shopping at
the mall which, ultimately, was extremely cheap and consistent advertising for Plaza Indonesia.

Meeting New People: Both my internships have taken place in foreign countries so I was thrown into a place I
knew no one. I love this opportunity to meet new people and test myself to understanding and learning about
other cultures.

Interpreting Languages: With my internships having taken place in China and Indonesia, the meetings I attended
were spoken in Chinese and Bahasa Indonesian.

Coping with Deadlines: My boss gave me many small tasks with deadlines tending to be the end of the day or
early the next morning. I felt I constantly had something to work on and quickly to assure she would never have
to wait for one of my assignments.

Listening to Others: Interns usually do not have a prominent voice in the workplace and there to listen and
learn. Therefore I feel anyone who has completed an internship has had to hone in on those skills.

Interacting with People at Different Levels: Plaza Indonesia had meetings with the entire marketing department
every Friday to make sure everyone was on the same page with the necessary steps for the next month. This
gave me the chance to hear from every marketing department as well as individuals at every level.
