_____Good
_____Fair
_____Poor
Was your internship beneficial for your career goals? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, my internship was very beneficial to my career goacreating creative advertising solutions for small business in the Washington, DC metro area. Because I had the opportunity to work closely with a small business that was so multifaceted I had the ability to learn a variet of things. I also enjoyed experiences I had such as curating the front display of the rtail portion of the store. I enjoyed this experience because I used to want to pursue it but upon completion I reliezed I didn’t like the task at all. Would you recommend this internship to other students? Why or why not?
Yes, the internship is not only easily accesable to Howard University but actually handson. I was never asked to do miniscule task of grabbed coffee or mail but instead asked to handle clients and branding material. I learned a lot form this internship, from what to do and what not to do in the field and when dealing with clients which I am grateful for. I certify that this is an accurate representation and reflection of the work that I completed for the required Supervised Internship.
