    The document discusses an internship at Schmutz, an online source that provides information about music events in Berlin. The internship goals were to generate and expand a network, gain understanding of a field outside their major, and learn applicable skills. The intern learned about Schmutz's development and contributors by discussing with the founder, but had few interactions outside of him. Writing promotional posts in an unfamiliar tone took longer. The intern learned specific applications to compile event listings, but the processes were nit-picky and dated. The internship was a learning experience for both, specific to this field, and out of the intern's comfort zone where specific skills were gained.

    Original Description:

    This is a presentation I prepared to summarize my 6 weeks with Schmutz in Berlin, Germamy.

    You Got a Little

    On Your Resume
    By Kara Redcay
    What is Schmutz?
    Schmutz is an online source that provides information about
    music events and festivals in and around Berlin.

    It was founded by two Americans who relocated to Berlin,


    although now it is run by only one of the original founders.
    Goals for my Internship
    To learn how to generate and expand a network in an
    (unfamiliar) area.

    To gain an understanding of a field not directly linked to my


    major and work with something outside of my comfort zone.

    To grasp skills that apply to this specific work, along with


    broader fields.
    Goal #1
    -Accomplished through discussions with Gabe, specifically
    about the company’s development and his relationship with
    contributors

    CHALLENGES: Unfortunately, I only had a few interactions


    with people outside of Gabe, therefore I wasn’t exposed to
    that much cultural differences outside of my own (because of
    our similar roots)
    Goal #2
    -Accomplished by studying various
    social media posts made by Gabe to
    learn how to write using a tone
    outside of my own for show
    promotions

    CHALLENGES: It took me a much


    longer time to come up with captions
    because I had no prior knowledge on
    the artists, and Gabe did end up
    changing most of my wording before
    finalizing a post
    Goal #3
    -Accomplished through learning
    specific applications used to compile
    event listings onto the website

    CHALLENGES: The processes were


    rather nit-picky and dated, which
    Gabe had not really picked up on
    until he was teaching me, and the
    applications were extremely specific
    (and applicable) to this job
    Conclusions
    -A learning experience for both me and Gabe

    -Very specific field of work

    -Interesting, although very out of my comfort zone

    -Specific skills gained


    Thanks for
    Listening!
