ARTS & BUSINESS COLLEGE LONDON Final year undergraduate, BA History of Art, mixture of remote and inperson working Work Projects One major project I helped with during my internship was revamping the college's website - I created content myself, as well as editing and adapting existing content. I also helped research and market new courses to be delivered by the college, which gave me an insight into how small education businesses can adapt to their potential markets. I received useful constructive criticism about my first attempts at marketing and ultimately produced materials that the college will use to advertise their courses. I also began teaching regularly for the first time - I was proud to be given the responsibility of managing two English students' conversation practice classes. This was a completely new experience for me and my employers were very reassuring about the experience - after a few sessions I got to grips with the syllabus and had a lot of fun! Daily Life I spent some of my internship in the office - a beautiful Georgian townhouse in Bloomsbury - and the rest of it working from home. Once I had met my colleagues once or twice in person, it was very easy to arrange among the few of us when we were going in, our Whatsapp groupchat really helped! My employers were relaxed and flexible about when I came into the office. I was provided with an entire room to work in, because it was only the central staff who were going in, and everyone was very attentive to my needs. I was told the office is usually very adventurous at lunchtimes, and I did try a few exciting places with my colleagues, but coronavirus unfortunately largely limited us to Pret! Working from home seemed ideal because it let me avoid the cycle in to work, but in fact I missed the commute, and had to take walks after work hours to stretch my legs.
