Internship Week One

This week I started my new internship at BLOW. BLOW is a public relations company and also a sales agency. They represent their clients in the press and also sell the collections to buyers. I primarily work on the selling side. Working in a foriegn country is such a great experience but there have been many differences I have noticed in comparison to working in the US. One of my first observations is the level of formality in the office. I work in a very small office with about 6-7 other people, therefore the office is very informal. I find this different from the formal corporate world of America I've gotten so used to, but at the same time it's a nice change! Everyone also drinks tea... sorry I just can't get into that. Starting a new job is always a tough adjustment, especially this time being in another country; however, by the end of my third day I had become very comfortable and able to do more without asking questions. Also became friends with some of the other interns too, love them!!
