Advanced
Fibre Communications Internship
The AFC
internship was a valuable experience for me. I learned a great deal about
web development as well as about preparing graphic elements for web pages.
Below are my objectives and what I learned from my experience.
|
1.
|
I
wanted to have a clear knowledge of the functionality of the Internet
and Intranet site at AFC. The site is immense and it took a while
to get a clear idea of where everything was. Knowing how to navigate
through these labyrinths is invaluable in preparation for working
with any company with large sites.

2.
|
I
learned Microsoft PowerPoint on the fly by "improving" and "enhancing"
files that had been created by the staff. I thought I was successful
at manipulating the information to make it more comprehensive for
the prospective client. |
|
|
3.
|
I
prepared PhotoShop files by modifying images and backgrounds to produce
master files that could be accessed by different departments for multiple
uses in print, web and in other mediums. |
|
|
4.
|
I
created a site for a marketing project that promoted development of
global markets and maintenance of customer satisfaction. This site
can be used on the Intranet and on CDs by global distributors. |
|
The internship
prepared me for seeking employment at a technical firm in the Sonoma County
area. The prospects for jobs in this field are limited but the industry
is still growing. I feel more confident in having skills that will be
useful for employment with similar organizations.
