Altyrian Interns

It’s finally happening - my last day as an Altyrian intern. Although I’ve only been here for one short summer and have been working a mere two days a week, it seems as though it has been longer; maybe because so much learning took place while I’ve been here. From writing press releases to learning [...]

As my internship at Altyris is quickly coming to an end and my senior year at Wake Forest approaches, I have been getting more and more nervous about finding a job and entering the real world in less than a year. That being said, I have definitely learned a lot in recent weeks and [...]

I have talked to a large number of my male friends lately who have taken notice of Canadian Club Whiskey’s new “Damn Right your Dad Drank It” ad campaign. The billboards and magazine ads have done a great job of grabbing the attention of my friends (in their early-to-mid twenties) partially, I believe because [...]

I spent most of this afternoon contacting colleges and universities in the area to create listings for a fall internship at Altyris. It is hard to believe that we are that close to the end! I do, however, look forward to receiving and reviewing submissions. I feel that having done the job [...]

Today was different from Tuesday in that it was a bit slower but i think that i still was able to learn a lot.  I got to do some more press release work and was also able to sit in on Gwen’s meeting with a representative from two of the television networks in the area.  [...]

Today is my first day back since the weekend and I’ve already been busy just this morning.  As soon as I got into the office, John assigned a press release for me to write.  Considering the fact that it is Tuesday morning, I was extremely surprised that I was able to write the release in [...]

This week has flown by pretty quickly.  Tuesday I had a ton of work to get through and the day always goes by faster when I’m busy.  I was working on a media report for a law firm that we have been doing advertising for.  It was somewhat tedious work but it has to get [...]

Most of my posts have detailed exactly what I’ve worked on each day so I thought that I should take this opportunity to give everyone an update on what daily life at Altyris is like. I love the relaxed atmosphere of the office as well as the beautiful lakeside setting. Everyone gets along [...]

Today I wrote a couple of press releases for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Tour to Tanglewood, a two-day, ninety mile bike ride that raises money for the organization. Other Bike MS events are held throughout the country.
I was excited that the society is using the stories of individuals who participate in the ride [...]

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted so I thought I’d take a few minutes to update everyone on what’s been going on at Altyris. John and his family were at the beach last week so Eunhee and I worked on a bunch of jobs that he left for us. It was [...]
