This summer I had the opportunity
to work with the Marketing Team at AgriGold. AgriGold is a seed corn
company based in Saint Francisville, Illinois. Throughout the summer, my
position was meant to assist the internship coordinator by processing the daily
activities, expense reports, and coordinating contests for the field interns
across the Corn Belt.
As the summer progressed, my day-to-day
activities became less structured. The marketing team spent many hot days
in the warehouse packing boxes, sorting promotional items, or assembling new
items. Before this summer, I had never put much thought into who did all
of those tasks; they just seemed to be done.
I was able to attend AgriGold's
National Sales Kickoff in Sandusky, Ohio. I only got to see a short
window of the planning and preparation that went into the event, however I was
most amazed by the willingness of the entire team to offer help in order to
finish quickly. No matter his or her title, everyone had the common goal
of making the event run smoothly.
From this
experience, I learned the most by the example shown. Problems are likely
to arise in all workplaces, its how you take those in stride and problem solve
yourself that proves your ability to others.
