researchers at the forefront of their fields, and it was an honour to have worked with them for this internship.
PRAGMATIX ADVISORY First Year Undergraduate, BA History, Remote Working Work Projects Pragmatix was working on three different projects during my internship and as a first-year intern, I was expected to help out on many of the different tasks. However, I was assigned a primary project to focus on. My main tasks were collecting the data required for a report, such as employment statistics related to a particular industry and then producing graphs, which tracked those statistics in relation to the questions we were answering in the report. There were a few days of my internship when a report deadline was approaching, and it was those days when I felt I contributed the most because everyone in the team would chip in towards producing a final report. There was a lot of support from Mark, the C.E.O of Pragmatix, and the other interns, who had been at Pragmatix for longer than I had. This meant that I never felt like I didn't know what I was doing, and I always knew how my work was contributing to the team effort. Daily Life Every day of my remote internship started with a Teams meeting where everyone would give an update report on the different projects, the list of tasks to be completed was updated and everyone was assigned their tasks for the day. Often, this call would be kept on all day, so that, in a simulation of a real-life office, we could ask questions or work together on certain sections if necessary. We then worked on shared documents, so that we could see the work everyone was doing in real time. If I had advice for another intern working remotely in this way, I would tell them not to be intimidated by the online call. It's ok to get up to make a cup of tea and to log off when the workday ends, even if others aren't, as long as you know that you're working hard and you're completing all the work assigned to you.
