GET SCHOOLED: EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND<\/b><\/h4>\n

Q: How is your school life going?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A: <\/i><\/b>I expected my major to be more practical, so my internship with Kdan made up for what I lacked at school. Outside of my studies, I joined the school’s Ambassador Division to coordinate events. I planned a music festival \u201c\u7518\u566a\u796d” (translated as \u201cSweet Sound Festival\u201d) with my friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

F:<\/i><\/b> During my freshman year, I was the Class Representative. I arranged work out duration, outdoor activities and gatherings for my peers. As a junior, I put my energy into sports and triathlon training<\/a> because I\u2019m one of the athletes on the NCKU track and field team.<\/span><\/p>\n

X:<\/i><\/b> I love being in college, but I dislike classes. I prefer to be working on projects or doing a campus job, which is why I am a tour guide as well as an Advancement Intern on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

J:<\/i><\/b> I love the classes I\u2019ve been able to take. While I\u2019m almost always very busy, my work is fun and fulfilling. I have a job on campus with the Video Production Team as well and the Writing Center. I also enjoy working on the college’s paper, <\/span>The Juniatian<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ON A ROLL: THE ROLES OF OUR INTERNS<\/b><\/h4>\n

Q: What kind of job did you have at Kdan?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A:<\/i><\/b> I handled customer support and updated our knowledge base translation, which can be both challenging and rewarding.<\/span>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

F:<\/em><\/strong> Like Angel, I worked in customer support and knowledge base translation. I like translating because it\u2019s great to bridge the gap between people and different language barriers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

X:<\/em><\/strong> I generated social media content for Kdan\u2019s pages and performed market research. I learned how to do several aspects of business development which was cool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

J:<\/em> <\/strong>I wrote blog content and created digital marketing<\/a> videos and tutorials. My experience was fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

PART-Y ON SITE: FAVORITE PART OF INTERNSHIP<\/b><\/h4>\n

Q: What was your\u00a0favorite part of the internship?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A: <\/i><\/b>My role at Kdan helped me explore my love of technology and use different apps to keep myself productive even more so than I already was doing. I love the work environment here because my colleagues are like friends. We hung out for Karaoke, played video games, and watched sports after work together.<\/span><\/p>\n

F:\u00a0 <\/i><\/b>My first impression of Kdan was the relaxing and friendly work environment in a cozy office. I liked the fact that I could get a taste of getting a real job and meeting new people. One day, I expect to take on more responsibilities and more challenges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

X:<\/i><\/b> I really appreciated getting to put all of my creativity into all types of outlets. Creating graphics and being in videos was a lot of fun. I\u2019m glad I got to do both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

J:<\/i><\/b> As part of the Back to School campaign, I really enjoyed the chance to create content, which involved the development of a \u2018dorm-room ramen\u2019 recipe video to be posted on social media. It was a fun, creative project that I am particularly proud of.<\/span><\/p>\n
