Walk West: Day One

I even had my own work station set up for me!

Today was day one of the Work Experience Program. Currently, I am shadowing at Walk West (https://walkwest.com/)- a digital marketing agency located within the NC State campus. The morning started off with an all-team meeting and consisted of “saves”, “wins”, and other activities going on during the week. The meeting was a unique way to start off the morning, highlighting the positives and important moments within the office. For the remainder of the day, I did a little bit of research on projects the company is working on, as well as helped check links to a website they had launched. Throughout the week I will meet with different team members to get an idea of what they do, and how they got to where they are. Today was definitely intimidating, as I seem quite young compared to everyone else. Many times I got asked, “do you know where you’re going to college” or “do you know what area within communications you’d like to work in?”. Speaking to these people that seem to have their life figured out, my honest answer and realization was, “I literally have no clue.” While I assume that throughout the week I will get a better feel for what areas I do and do not like, I don’t think that I will come out of this program knowing exactly where my life is headed.
