Week 5: Evaluate Your Experience So Far

1.       How can your internship provide evidence of your “true value” to their company?
In the end i believe the true success of an intern will be determined if they are hired on to being a part of their permanent staff. This shows that their work ethic, creativity, & overall attitude was perceived to be valuable to the company.

2.       How can you obtain additional information regarding the company to become a better professional?
Nowadays everything is available online, besides from that i like to ask my mentors about their experiences about the company, if they have any books or alternate reading materials that will further my knowledge & help me grow more as an intern.

3.       What company responsibilities have you encountered, and want to encounter prior to departure.
It is to be a brand ambassador, whether on the clock or not, you have to represent the brand's image. You are the brand. For Louis Vuitton, they have a very specific "On-Stage look" that helps each employee look more professional & luxurious without taking away from the products offered at the store.

4.       Where do you see yourself going with this company?
If given the opportunity, I would like to work here after my internship. Louis Vuitton is a great company & they are well-structured. It would be a pleasure to work here inevitably & grow with the company itself. They seem very interested in our futures & are more than willing to help us succeed.

5.       Where do you see yourself going to work after your internship if you do not remain with the employer?
I absolutely cannot imagine myself anywhere else.

a.       Where would you look for job postings?  Please name websites or organizations that have career boards with job listings.
I've been using websites like Indeed.com & attending the school's job fairs. Our career services are also extremely helpful when it comes to what suits us as an individual.

b.      Create a  job posting for the position supported by the six elements of a job posting:
 Task functions and responsibilities, performance standards, job-related skills, scope and limits of authority, management expectations, relationships.

Art associates are to help the art coordinator in creating a special experience for each guest.

c.       How might you go about completing an inquiry of interest, resume and cover letter?
First of all, I would research the company I am applying for to see what they are looking for in their employees. I would then complete my inquiry of interest, resume, & cover letter in such a manner that would relate to them, their goals, & company values.
