Taking an internship/Moving to Houston!
Today I got the formal offer on an internship that I have been in the application process for over two months on. I'm excited that I passed all the interviews in a large company, first time for me to have to formally interview.
I'm just moving into the supply side of the Sign industry that I have grown up in. I will be working with the regional sales reps for the largest LED display manufacturer in the country. Starting in May I will spend 6wks at corporate headquarters in SD, and then I will be in Houston until sometime in November. I will be traveling with the sales reps, doing product demos, going to tradeshows, etc. Living the life of a sales rep basically. So Houston boys, look out, I'm coming!

Awesome! My internship experience in college was defining, nothing like taking what you've learned and applying it in real life. Good luck in Houston!

Sidney,
Congratulations. This is a big step and a wonderful opportunity to get a lot of practical experience. Two things. Never forget how little you really know and remember the people you are working with don't have all the answers either. They do have a lot of experience, and, if you are lucky, they might give you a chance to try some of your own ideas and add to your personal experience. It will be memorable. Make the most of it. Best Les

Congrats Dude!!!
(Don't get a home in Pasadena, Deer Park, LaPorte ;-) Which part of town are you going to be working in? It has been so long since I lived there everything has changed, except the drivers. Well, they seemed worse last time I was there... Be prepared for HOT, HUMID, HUMID, HUMID, well, you get the idea.... Used to get out of the shower, "dry off" and still be damp. A/C is more of a necessity than around Central Oklahoma. And you are NOT from Dallas.

Moving to Houston and you will be 21 to boot. Party town. Just remember showing up at the job sober and rested is important. It is hard to do a good job with a killer hangover. Pace yourself!

Cool Sid but is this a between semester thing or have you dropped the pharmacy gig - either way - make the best of it. Is there any rocks to climb in Houston?

Sid - To have the most fun, you need to rent inside "the loop" aka I-610.

If it were me, and I were Sid's age, it would be off Washington.

Sadly, the apartment will be provided, so I will have no input as to were I will be. I suspect it will be something close to the office.
And yes Red, you are correct. Yup, I will be in South Dakota the first few weeks. Finn, I am taking a the Fall semester off from school, and no I am no longer pursuing a Pharmacy degree. After working as a pharmacy tech, I realized I would rather do something else. I am working on a Marketing degree now. |
