Balancing work and life…!
Hey guys… I’m back to give an account of my social life. Having spent six weeks as a marketing intern, the going is getting tough. My manager is keen about deliverables now as I am due for mid-project presentation. An eight-hour working day seems not to be enough for me any longer that I sometimes stay back after working hours to work. After five weeks of gathering data, marketing research and strategy brainstorming, it’s now time to put my thought together and analyze all related data. Also my project requires that I develop about two models. Practically a typical day is occupied with series of meetings from one on one to group and brainstorming sessions. However I have been able to achieve 50% of my project.
Despite my work’s tight schedule, I have managed to create sometime for social life outside office hours most especially during the weekends because I know the important of balancing work with life. There are a lot of places in Texas to have fun and are family friendly. Last weekend I was in Dallas Zoo with my family. It was fun! My kids had an awesome time in Dallas. I have gone hiking and swimming within Austin with my family and fellow interns as well.
I have been able to leverage my series of meetings to build network within Dell community. Also there are a lot of social events like happy hours; speaker’s series to mention a few that provides platforms for socializing and networking within the organization. As an international candidate changing career, it’s quite important to take advantage of these events to learn about America and Dell work culture while building industry knowledge.
