Overcoming Internship Challenges – Noah

As my last week in this internship program slowly approaches, a lot of thoughts have been running through my head, mainly regarding my thoughts and reflection on this experience as a whole. Overall, I feel like adapting to a new job while simultaneously adapting to a new culture is twice the challenge, but at the…

Organizational Culture in Dublin – Noah

As I’ve mentioned several times in previous posts of mine, I’ve come to recognize my internship location, HeadCase Marketing, generally as an informal company as far as their image goes.

Every ecocab promotional…

Traveling to and within Ireland – Noah Mailliard

Before coming to Ireland, I had very little travel experience. I had barely left the east coast of the United States, let alone cross the ocean into Europe. Flying to Europe for the first time is intimidating enough, but doing it alone is twice the battle. I had many anxieties packed into one flight, such…

Getting Acquainted with Business Practices in Dublin – Noah

During my second week of interning in Dublin, I’ve become a lot more involved in the projects and principles of HeadCase, the marketing firm I’m working for.

First Week of Interning – Noah

Getting settled into my overseas internship was both challenging and exciting in different ways. The overall atmosphere was much more laid back than I had initially expected.
