During my first day interning for Merion Matters I found it to be very
exciting and interesting at the same time. Exciting because I am actually
getting to work in the buying enviornment something that i'm not used to and
interesting because this is the career path that I want to take upon
graduation. I did find my first week to be the most productive. During the
first week is where I really feel like I found out the most about the company,
the buying department and my boss. My first week wasn’t as hands on as I would
have liked it to be but I do understand that as a “newby” in the group I need
to crawl before I can walk. I learned at least 5 new vocab terms that I had
never head of before which were the blank, lead time, style number, affliate
and PO. I also liked the fact that my boss took me on a tour of the
building and not only introduced me to the buying team but all of the other
teams in the office some of which I thought had nothing to do with my
department but later found out that everyone there is connected in some way
shape or form. It was good to go around and hear everybody’s title and them
tell me how what they did connected to the buying aspect of the company. I like
the fact that the company isnt too big. I think that for me interning at a
smaller company gives me a chance to take on a little bit more responsibility
as well as freedom and it give me a chance to connect with the people around me
and build bonds. My first week at Merion Matters was enough to convince me to
stay and continue to intern there for as long as they allow me to. I am really
thinking of continuing to intern there even after my 90 credited hours are up
just because I feel like Merion Matters can give me great hands on experience.
My boss has told me numerous times that whatever she can do to help me grow and
learn she will do and to me I think that sounds very promising.
