Hi Sophia! I really enjoyed reading your blog! The first thing that caught my eye was your title, “If you want something done, do it yourself,” because this is something I believe myself. Mr. Imre sounds like a great man who knows what he needs to do to get what he wants. My question though is when does doing it yourself become too much? An agency can’t be run by just one person, you need a team to make it happen. Sometimes having delegated tasks can make working much more efficient and practical.

Sophia, I love the title of your post! I agree with every notion you have written here. I consider myself a hustler and a do-it-yourself kind of gal, and I definitely agree that the success of your internship is you. When I had first started my internship I felt very similar to what you have described here; afraid to ask questions and afraid of being wrong. I too found that there is so much to learn and the best way is to immerse yourself with the team you are learning from. I think it is so great that you were able to find an internship at a company that aligns with your personality of beliefs. I wish you the best of luck in the future!

Hi Sophia, Imre sounds like a great place to work! I really love that the CEO put such a positive spin on a phrase with a negative connotation and in turn, changed your entire perspective on work. I’ve also definitely fallen prey to the mentality of “do it yourself” so hearing about his journey and where its led him is inspiring.

Hi Sophia! I love that your internship experience gave you the lessons that you were hoping for and more. It is so rewarding to know that the places we are putting our time and work into as an intern are rising above our expectations. Leaving with more valuable information is always a goal! I really enjoyed reading your post, especially how you discuss the “do it yourself” phrase. I have also regarded this type of comment more negatively, and the way that Imre has reframed this for you through experience is refreshing. I agree that our biggest success factor is ourselves, and we really have to be open coming into internships and ready to go above and beyond. I am glad that you had a positive experience with Imre and learned lessons that will undoubtedly benefit you in your future endeavors!
