Week 13 The Overall Experience

Over the past thirteen weeks at my internship at WCRN News and talk Radio I can honestly say that I will miss working there and seeing everyone on a daily basis.  I have learned so much that I will definitely take with me and I have also learned a lot about myself and what I want in the type of atmosphere I will be looking for in the future when I start looking for employment.  I will be looking for a workplace that has an extended family type feel.  This is what I have experienced a WCRN. 

I am happy to say that I have enjoyed rising up to the challenges of meeting all of the goals that my mentors and I have set for me in week three.  I have worked extremely hard at achieving these goals and strived to do my best at whatever task I was required to complete.  This has certainly added to my confidence in entering the professional working world. 

This internship has influenced my career goals.  During my internship, I was told that I have the kind of personality that would be good in sales and when I get closer to graduation, I was asked to come back to WCRN and work in sales.  In the last four months at WCRN I have had a lot of hands on experiences that have helped me and the people that I worked with during my internship.

 I would recommend this internship to anyone who is looking for a great learning environment and great atmosphere to be in on a daily basis.  You will learn a lot while there.  I want to thank everyone at WCRN for allowing me this opportunity to achieve my goals I set for myself.  The friends and memories I have made at WCRN have been some of the best decisions I have made towards my professional future and I will always look back on this experience fondly wherever I my go in my professional future endeavors.   

  

Week 11 Codes of Conduct

WCRN news and talk Radio has no formal code of conduct.  The station is a laid back and a very enjoyable place to work.  All of the guys that work here have at some point or another in there carriers in Radio have worked together at some point.  This has created a great work environment because they all enjoy working with each other.  There is no formal written form of conduct that is followed however, they do follow the regulations that the FCC while on the airwaves.  For example, there can be no foul language or bashing of people while on the air.  Everyone At WCRN maintains a professional work ethic and seem to really care about each other even an a personal level.  This professional work ethic is carried out when guests are at the station and when out on location.  Everyone knows what is expected and they all have their own specific jobs at the station that they must perform.  However I have seen where maybe someone might have forgotten to do something and someone else just took responsibility to make sure that it was dune anyway.  They all know what it takes a team effort sometimes to get the things done right. 

As far a bad behavior goes, I have never seen anyone act in a unprofessional manner.  The dress code is semi casual.  No one wears a suit and tie everyday however; they do wear nice dress shirt and pants to the station.  The small staff here conducts themselves in a lighthearted manner but they still manage to be professional when guests come in to the station.
