Taking part in this company is something I never could have imagined at the time. The internship was a totally adequate way for me to feel what it is like at work and find out if a given career path was the right way of the direction for me. I think my life journeys are marked by this internship, which boosted by academic and professional growth and showcased my knowledge in it’s practical domain. This is where I provide you with my internship experience highlighting the application process, and my duties, responsibilities and skills achieved, the challenges that I faced, what I enjoyed and the final impact.
I happened to find NuukMedia through the website ‘Edy365’, which searches for internships commensurate with individual areas of interest. I was looking for internship in web development field and I wrote a motivation letter which talked about my skill set and what I would add. Luk, CEO of NuukMedia immediately answered to my motivation letter. Following his acknowledgement, I had online meeting during which he enlightened me about my tasks and he gave an overview of the company’s operations.
I got a project to do together with another intern where we built a website for an affiliate link. The website required users to input their email address and name, upon which it automatically generated a profile on https://nuukmedia.spp.io/signup, giving them a personalized affiliate link. We applied HTML and CSS programming languages in building the website and we used PHP for the database.
Undoubtedly, this internship equipped me with a new skill: database construction. It was the most challenging of all the things I ever did because I am just entering my second year of study of programming and databases are new to me. On the positive side, I felt encouraged by the workers in the company because if I had a problem, they were there to help me.
This company excels in communication, being strongly patient with interns and expressing the sincere warmth towards us. Whenever we faced any question or the concept turned out to be difficult, Luk managed to arrange a meeting with colleagues who helped us generously with the answers to those questions as well as taught us a lot of new information. Particularly noteworthy was their consideration in arranging meetings with team members fluent in our native language, Latvian, facilitating clearer comprehension and enhancing our learning experience.
Ultimately, I suggest picking up the internship offered by this company if your aim is to enhance your skills and obtain new information in the field. Undoubtedly, there will be rough rides in the beginning, however, with time you will get the hang of it and will find yourself enjoying this internship. Thanks to this internship, I’ve gained so much knowledge in database management, expanded my website development skills and I now know that I want to pursue web development in the future.
I must express my deepest gratitude to Luk, the CEO and founder of NuukMedia, who was so nice to us and so patient with us!
