I have just finished my first day at my new job- working as a Marketing and Social Media Intern, it has been massively exhausting and my brain feels like its in overload with all the information I have had to take in. Having said that it all seems so worth it. After my 30 minute commute to the business park I was greeted by my new boss, and introduced to the entire office. Names are usually my strong point, but apparently not any more..
I have been filled in on all the marketing projects going on at the moment, and have been thrown in with assisting the team. I have been sworn to secrecy to ensure the ideas are kept within the company, but it is exciting, and I cant wait to be a part of it. I have picked up on a few interesting ideas that make a lot of sense, and am looking forward to seeing if they are successful!
It has taken a lot of energy to get to this stage, hours spent on applications, and various "near misses" with job opportunities. So when I was offered this placement two weeks ago, I was ready to go. Relocating to a brand new country in such a short space of time has been eventful to say the least, but I am now able to enjoy it a little more now and it is just amazing. I am now living in an area called Haarlem, near to Amsterdam. This means I get all the perks of not being in the centre of town during the week when I feel sure I will be too exhausted to do anything, but close enough to enjoy it at the weekend! I am determined to see everything before my year ends! And I am certain it will go very quickly!
