Four Winds Technology Group LLC

Digital Marketing Intern

January - August 2019 • Sarasota, FL

What I liked

Working with Four Winds provided me with the knowledge, skills, and the mentorship I needed to develop a well rounded background in business and marketing. As an intern, I worked closely with seniors, managers, and the owner himself in doing tasks that have benefited my education in business. My supervisors made sure that I receive the right education by not only teaching me in person but also providing me access to online education courses on marketing, sales, and business in general, which have tremendously advanced my knowledge in business. They focused on giving me the skills I needed by providing me with tasks that involves helping them solve a problem they currently have. In doing so, I am able to apply the knowledge I have and help my supervisor solve a current problem they currently have. Aside from the skills and knowledge, the CEO has mentored me on multiple aspects of business. He has mentored me in multiple business aspects such as in communicating with clients, running a business, and all sorts of education that only an experience such as his can give. In addition, I also have gotten the opportunity to go to the company’s networking events, community events, as well as meeting with business partners.

What I wish was different

The overall experience of the internship was great. However, if I were to change something, I would most likely want more interns to work with in working in problems as it is better to have multiple diverse perspective to help make the best decision in solving a problem.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share about this experience is to listen more. As a student or even as a young individual, it is important to listen and open your minds to those who have substantial experience in this world. I was fortunate to have had supervisors who have done businesses around the world which strengthens their background and experience living in this world. With their experience, they are able to share some value to me.
