Blog Entry:
At Aflac, I have been introduced to a whole new experience. I have been able to take the knowledge I have learned in my Marketing on the Internet course here at Assumption and transfer these skills to my internship. I have been able to use strategies such as targeted e-marketing to find and reach new potential customers. My internship is a real world experience that complements my classroom experience.
I am viewed as an employee in the office; my workload is very similar to sales associates. Everyone in the office is very nice and more than willing to assist me.
