Today is officially the last day of my internship as a
Marketing Communications Coordinator at Meetingmax- It will be so strange to
leave!
As I reflect back on the last few months here at Meetingmax
I can’t help but smile when I think of all the wonderful experiences I have
had, and the amazing people I have had the chance to work with.
At the beginning of the internship process, I experienced a
lot of anticipation about leaving the safety net of BCIT, and stepping foot into
the real world of business and marketing. At Meetingmax, however, I instantly
felt at home. I was immersed into a fast growing company, and given the
opportunity to learn invaluable insights into the business world of smart
entrepreneurship and organizational culture. Throughout the process the
hands-on experience helped me grow both personally and professionally.
One of the main take-aways I took from my internship was the
heavy importance placed on the company’s core values. Although many companies
claim to have them, Meetingmax makes a conscious effort to incorporate them into
every aspect of their company. It’s because of this everyone is happy, and employee and customer
relationships are strong.
My favorite core values displayed at Meetingmax are “Make It
Fun” and “Continually Grow.” I feel that these are important, because at the
end of the month (through the Meetingmax book club, or our choice of personal
and professional development courses), we all learn something new and have fun
while we are doing it.
Overall I had a crazy good time at my internship. I wore my
Four Seasons slippers every day, handed over my ipod upon request to play on
the loud speakers, and completed my “frogs” (most important task) every day.
I am very thankful for the opportunity I have had to be a part of such a great company, to learn, and to take part in the amazing 2012 Meetingmax
Unconvention. I recommend that everyone attend it next year in 2013- because it
keeps getting better!
As I sit here with my final LIV Martini (It's Liquor Cart
