Being the trailblazing intern for any company seems pretty daunting. But, I enjoyed reading about how the experience was beneficial for both you and the organization. The CEO coming in to set things straight about you being more than a ‘Go-for’ set the stage for an internship that could offer you some real learning opportunities. Hopefully you left a lasting mark so that they treat their future interns with the same respect. Or perhaps they’ll hire you and they won’t need any more interns!

It’s really great that you took the initiative to modernize tasks to make them more efficient and worth while for not only you, but for the company as well. Since you’re the ‘guinea pig’ it will only help the future interns excel even more and in turn help the company grow and flourish in the meantime. I commend you for jumping head first into something that may not have ended well, but you for sure made the best of it!

I can imagine that being the first intern for a company can be intimidating. I am glad that they made you feel a part of the company from day one. I feel as though as that is the most important in a work environment.

It sounds like this is a great learning experience as well as professional experience !

It looks like you found a great internship and found it to be rewarding! Some internships, as you have mentioned, can be unfulfilling. Setting the standard for how the company runs its internship program carries a high responsibility with it and it sounds like you did a great job at it. Being in a work environment where people benefit mutually from each other leads to growth for not only the company, but the individuals. Great to heard you enjoyed this internship.
