Typical day

My internship days go from 8 am to 4 pm, three times a week but I couldn’t say that I have the same daily work routine every day. What I mean with this is that I am doing different stuff all the time. However, I can classify my activities in two main groups:

• Activities related to the current marketing partnerships that the City has. This includes answering concerns that residents may have regarding the partnership with Service Line Warranties of America, which offers an optional service of water and sewer line warranties for Phoenix residents.
• Activities related to the exploration of new possible partnerships opportunities.

Basically, I do activities for both groups everyday. Also depending on the week I attend different meetings. Although the Marketing Partnership Program is administered by the Public Information Office, it has a team of City employees from different departments that contributes to the program in facilitating the collaboration between departments and brainstorming new ideas for the program. This group gets together once a month, so this is one of the meetings I must attend. Other meetings I attend are with staff of other departments because in order to get information for new opportunities I need to work with other departments.

Besides the Marketing Partnership Activities, if there is an event or a meeting that my supervisor considers it could interest me, she always invites me to go.
