Practicum Week 1

Day 1

I’m super glad that I was able to experience my first day in office with Kateland, she graciously showed me around P&G’s beautiful office, meeting rooms and a fully fleshed out DJ section galore.

It’s terrible to think that I wouldn’t be witnessing the DJ section in action.

Kateland was super helpful with any questions I had, and the first thing I got to do with my new coworkers was a Yiddish quiz. 

I sat in a client meeting and internal reviews, it was quite fascinating to see projects that would actually be carried out in real life for everybody to see. 

It was only my first day, but I could already feel the synergy from all my new coworkers, and I knew that I’d definitely be learning lots from them in these 6 weeks.

Day 2

I got to enjoy some lovely coffee chats with my coworkers, everyone was so friendly and welcoming; I’m looking forward to working with them soon. 

I enjoyed seeing the processes and applications that make companies work so efficiently.

Day 3

I got to present some campaign ideas to my creative team! Loved seeing their ideas.

It was really interesting to get to know brand guidelines and the many restrictions that come with big brands.

Day 4+5

In my enthusiasm to keep myself busy and help others out, I’ve realized how supremely inefficient I was in doing technical tasks. ALSO, I’m sure that some of my photoshop processes and layers are unforgivable, and I hope under my coworkers’ wings, I will improve in that at least a little bit more. Kateland has been helping immensely with making sure I’m on the right track, and helping me prioritize my work and make the most out of my daily hours. 

P&G has a lovely community of hard workers, and I hope I can soon find my fit within this community so that I can make impactful work and be of more help to the P&G team.
