Never Panic

Two weeks ago, I started the internship of a lifetime and honestly was extremely nervous. As editor in chief of a large organization I felt the pressure. Going in the first day, the work quickly piled sky high and quite frankly, I was overwhelmed and nervous that although I was hired and expected to do an amazing job, I felt I was not qualified for the position. That night, I went home and evaluated my scheduling and my reasoning for panicking. I thought about if for a long time... where is panicking going to get me? Nowhere! So for the next week I walked into the office calmly and took each task one step at a time. Two weeks later I think back on the experience and leave with this advice. When thinking multimedia, it is key to keep your cool. No one will respect a leader who has no idea what is going on or is unsure about a task themselves. I leave you with this, never ever ever panic, somehow things work out for the best and you were hired for an employment opportunity for a reason so do not doubt yourself. In fact if you keep your cool, people seem to respect you more! So do not do what I did my first day at a great internship and PANIC!!!
