An Honest Review

As I sit and reflect upon my experience at Everyday Web, I feel a multitude of different feelings. Honestly, I didn’t even think I would get an internship. I lacked a lot of confidence and did not feel that my skills were anywhere near up to par. I was shocked and overcome with confusion and anxiety when I passed the interview with what my mother would like to call “flying colors.”

Hi, I’m Ruheen Sidhu and I work at Everyday Web. I’m a senior here at Temple University and am in the works to get my Advertising degree, hopefully, this upcoming Winter. As I geared up for my internship, I felt imposter syndrome, how could I have been selected for this position? I had no idea. However, my two bosses Dan and Mario did a great job of making me feel comfortable. They knew I didn’t have much, or honestly, any experience and wanted to work with me. That made me feel supported and seen at that time.

Throughout my time, I was trusted to create social content for them as well as operate their newsletter. As the days passed by, I began to see that my work was paying off and I was receiving positive feedback. I was doing a good job. I didn’t know I could do a good job. I don’t think my employers knew how little confidence I had in myself, but the fact that they thought I was doing well meant a lot to me. I learned a bunch through this internship, but what I learned the most was that I am capable of putting out good work and I am capable of doing well.

My advice to anyone embarking upon their own journey seeking an internship, I would tell them to trust themselves. You got hired for a reason and you are more than capable of doing what meets the mark. You will go on to form great relationships with those you work with and will succeed more than you think is possible.
