Lucy's Marketing Internship with UEA Writers' Service -- First Week

How did you feel about the internship leading up to the start?

I felt a mixture of excitement and anticipation before the start, but I’ve been really looking forward to getting stuck in and making this project a success for the university.

What was your first day like?

My first day involved a lot of introductions! Everyone in the LDC department was incredibly welcoming and it was nice to be able to return to the place I had spent many hours as a student.

What have you been up to each day in your first week?

The tasks have been incredibly various from attending brand meetings to creating engaging lecture presentations. I’ve learnt that enthusiasm goes a long way when getting new people on board with what you’re doing and to certainly not be afraid to put your voice across when you come up with any good ideas.

Has your experience of your first week been what you expected?

Yes. I expected the job to be varied and require a lot of organisation, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how accommodating my fellow staff members have been and how included I’ve felt in each stage of the project. 

What have you enjoyed the most about your first week?

My most favourite moment has definitely been being able to give my creative input into the branding of the service and seeing the ideas develop. As the Writers’ Service is a completely new development for the university, the project is very much what we want to make it.

How do you think the next few weeks will be?

I predict there will be lots of exciting breakthrough moments and no doubt trials and tribulations to overcome as we progress but I’m thoroughly looking forward to seeing how this project expands in the future.
