Activities: Met
with my manager, researched html best practices for creating email templates
Technical Information: HTML, Microsoft word
Reflection: On
my fourth day of my internship I had my daily checkup with my manager and
continued to research the best practices for creating marketing email templates
in HTML. By now the internship had surprised me and has gone way above my
expectations in terms of stress load and rules. I was expecting SAS to be a
very rule based company and have huge amounts of work to be done every day. On
my first day I was blown away by the friendliness of the employees and all the
beautiful landscapes.
My manager was
extremely nice and loved to give me interesting information about the history
of programs and SAS. I was given my own office which I did not expect to have
at all; I was expecting that I would sit in a cubicle all day. I was given a
tour of my floor by the other college interns on my team and was extremely
surprised at how friendly they were and ready to answer all my questions.
One other thing I was
not expecting was all the services I was able to enjoy every day. At SAS there are breakrooms which provide the
employees with free snacks and drinks. I was amazed that first time employees
were allowed to use the breakrooms and take breaks if they need to. I was not
expecting for SAS to have an onsite gym, pool, and recreational activities for
employees to use, and certainly did not expect that I was allowed to use them
as well. For a technology based company I was not expecting to see all kinds of
art work scattered around the campus. I was thrilled to see beautiful
sculptures and works of art as I love art, and was so thankful for this
extraordinary opportunity I had.
