The document describes an intern at an advertising company who was previously a successful graphics designer. However, during her internship she found that she had less freedom and creativity, and was afraid that any new ideas she proposed might be rejected. This fear of rejection lowered her creativity and productivity, as she focused more on following rules and getting work done quickly rather than being innovative.
Internship introspection
- 1. • Less freedom to do what I want to do • Don’t have the calmness of mind to learn & apply something new • Just do what I am told to • Do not act proactively • Leave from work as early as possible • My novel work or idea may not be accepted • Following the rules will allow me not to get reprimanded • I need to be able to do things my way. I can’t be afraid all the time that someone will ditch my idea. My innovativeness should be put to use. The intern does not want the nagging feeling that her ideas might get ditched it hampers her productivity. • Fear of rejection lowers creativity • Decision making authority improves quality of work
- 2. • Intern at an advertising company • Previously she was a graphics designer and a really good one! • After she started the internship she could not find her creative skills at hand • She sensed something was hampering her creative thought process
