Well I would first love to say that I totally agree, this is such a great idea and I love hearing about everyone's current experiences in the many different fields we 're experimenting in.

Im enjoying the corporate side of life interning at CTVglobemedia. I would have never expected to find myself working in the Much Music Building on Queen St, without a dull moment in site. My main position is working within the Corporate Affairs department, specifically focused on ALL of CTVglobe's sponsorships and doing various tasks with Much and MTV.

Now, i know ur thinking CTVglobe.. Probably strict, uptight, business suits all day ... ummmmm NEVER !!!! I must say I was totally shocked by the corporate culture. I could not have asked for a better placement. We have the options to wear jeans everyday of the week, given that you look presentable and there are no meeting scheduled. Everyone walks around just so happy and randomly excited to see you as if you've been friends for a million years.

Its just wonderful to see all the great events that are out there, going on everyday in Toronto. Going through endless amounts of sponsorship requests is really fun until the director says "DENIED".. I totally feel the burn for them and almost just want to go to all the events just to show my support for such great organizations that need so much help.

On the other hand, (or should I say the second layer of the corporate cake) I spend my Wednesdays, screening Video on Trial and random skanky music videos to decide if it should air or not, along with the tedious task of responding to all the Much Music mail where ppl just ask the most random questions and beg to the Jonas Brothers.

The hours are pretty good, 8:30 to 4 pm (yes guys.. I do actually make it to work on time lol). I would say that yes school has prepared us for the roles we are currently in but no matter what, working outside of the class room is completely different from getting writing tips from Elizabeth Duncan.
