summary week two

This without a doubt is the most important week of my whole professional experience. After reading several articles about the ONAC and the process of the accreditation I realized the importance of this project for the whole organization. I started to research on other accredited Laboratories involved in other industries and the benefits they have brought to their organizations. This became my key to success.

The presentation to the Vice President was an absolute success. As soon as I finished I congratulated me and approved the investment on the accreditation. My strategy on positioning the accreditation as a tool for marketing the organization was my biggest strength. The VP was absolutely pleased with my performance and conviction while giving out the presentation.

Besides making me incredibly proud of myself, this presentation opened me the doors to the Vice President. He was so pleased with my performance that suggested me a future internship on the marketing division of the organization.

This week has taught me very valuable lessons. Believe in myself and take opportunities. You will never know if you don’t try it. Communication with coworkers with experience and creating good relationships in the workplace are keys to success.   

At the end it turned out that my project was way more important that what I was expecting. It gave me a lot of work and responsibilities. I learned how to manage my time wisely and avoid stress of the pressure given by my boss. A company with this culture is a place where I would like to work after graduation. People expect a lot from you, but they are always there not just for work but for a friendship.
