My Work Experience at 蜜桃传媒 Central Team, By Huma Zaheer, Yr 13, Windsor High School and Sixth Form
1st September 2023
This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to experience the ins and outs of the 蜜桃传媒 Central Team and working behind the scenes at a multi academy trust as part of an organised work experience placement. I thought I'd share a bit about my time there with you.
First Steps
When I first decided to spend some time with the Trust central team, I wasn鈥檛 sure what to expect. I've studied Law, Business, and Economics, but being in a real professional setting? That's different. However, from day one, everyone was supportive and friendly, which instantly put my nerves to rest.
The Work
I didn't just do odd jobs; I was given some solid projects. I put together a press release library which now sits at the entrance. It鈥檚 a collection that showcases all the achievements of our Trust. I felt super accomplished every time someone stopped by to read it!
The sustainability strategy meeting was another highlight. It was an insight into the planning and effort that goes into making sure the Trust runs smoothly and sustainably. I also came up with some fundraising ideas for the Trust鈥檚 Community Foundation and worked on some fresh content for the WAT website. So, if you notice new posts or updates throughout the year, know that I might've had a hand in that!
Feedback Matters
It鈥檚 one thing to do the work, but it's another to be recognised for it. Martin Lopez, the Head of Marketing, had some kind words: 鈥淗uma stood out from the get-go. She didn鈥檛 just wait for opportunities; she really got stuck in as a member of the team. The content she's worked on? It's top-notch and will be super helpful throughout the year. It's evident she put in genuine effort, and we're truly proud of her accomplishments while with us.鈥�
My Takeaway
This stint at 蜜桃传媒 has been more than just 'work'. I've learned a lot, made some connections, and got a taste of the professional world. If you鈥檙e pondering getting some hands-on experience, don鈥檛 hesitate. It's valuable, and you鈥檒l get to understand the workings of places like the Trust.
Big shoutout to everyone at 蜜桃传媒 Central Team for the support and guidance. I hope my experience encourages more students to dive in and explore opportunities like this.
