Week Two: New Goals
Our intern Scott Pfeiffer has already learned that internships are often very different then what you expect. Well I guess one of my summer goals has been completed: finish the first week of my internship at Roundpeg. With a relaxed atmosphere and pleasant co-workers who are easy to get along with, sometimes being at Roundpeg feels more like working on a group project at school. The teacher is Lorraine who is always there if we have any questions. Everyone else could be compared to students who are in higher level classes. They know more material than I do but they are glad to help...

Oprah Winfrey once said, “You know you are on your way to success if you would do your job and not be paid for it.” This sums up my thoughts on my internship at Roundpeg. After working full time for the last several years, it is somewhat scary to take an unpaid internship. However, I like to think of it as an investment in my future, and I’m very excited about honing my skills this summer. My name is Melissa Hennig, and I’m Roundpeg’s public relations and social media intern for the summer. I’m also a graduate student in public relations management at...
