Emily's Marketing Internship with UEA's Research and Enterprise Services -- Week 6

15-19 April

The weeks are flying by now. I have created a first draft of the logging in page for Pure users and gathered some information together for the Pure Help Guide.
My weekly meeting with the Assistant Director of Research and Enterprise Services was very productive. We discussed the copy writing that should be included on these documents.
I had lunch with the International Officer, Basma Hakim. Basma is a family friend and she let me know of other departments in the UEA that I may not be aware of.
Ever since Adobe Creative Suite has been installed, I have been experiencing a few PC problems. Hopefully the I.T Support department will be able to assist with this soon. I started to create a summarised time scale of the Pure Marketing roll-out plan to present in the Pure monthly meeting in May.
I made an appointment with a Careers Advisor at the UEA which I would recommend to anyone who is job seeking. I have recently updated my CV with my new Marketing Internship, and I wanted another pair of eyes to scan through. I arrived in reception and there were some leaflets on the table. One of them included my picture and quotation from my previous Internship with East Anglian Air Ambulance!
The Careers Advisor, Isla Hosking was positive about my CV and gave me some example CV’s to read while she read mine. They gave me some helpful pointers such as to focus my personal profile at the top of my page to a specific role when I apply for a particular job and to increase the line spacing between the bullet points in order to make it easier to read. The appointment definitely encouraged me into perhaps writing new sections in the future, such as an Achievements relating directly to work. I also mentioned that I would like a mock interview and they said to call up when I have my next interview offer.
Whilst I have been taking part on the UEA Graduate Internship Programme, I have noticed that the careers service at the UEA is superior and relevant to what graduates are facing today.
