Welcome message from Christopher Sam
Looking for a company to intern with during a summer break is tricky, as most companies do not really bother with us "kids" during our stints there. The reluctance of employees to pass on "real" responsibilities to us, fearing that we'd mess something up or that there isn't a point in passing on tasks to short-term employees reduces us to photocopy/coffee/errand boys. Some just don't bother taking the effort. Fortunately, I was blessed that Integricity came my way. I was immediately absorbed by the concept they apply concerning their work ethics, office culture and transparency. C'mon, where else could you challenge your boss to a game of foosball in the middle of the afternoon? The best part is the knowledge sharing that goes on around here. Everyone is so willing to help one another, even if they are not from your department. I could walk over to the Art Director, Marketing Manager or the Tech Support Dude and they'd all be more than willing to help me with questions and queries. I guess my point is that taking the effort to take someone new by the hand and show them the ropes - tossing them something other than data entry duty - would pay off dividends in the future. The next industry star could be making your Nescafe as we speak, and when he's finally looking for a full-time job, hopefully those three months at your company years ago made a good impression.
