over coming obstacles

So far, I would say the biggest obstacle I've had to overcome in my internship at ICM partners is the location of my desk.  As silly as this may sound, it has had a large impact on my experience.  I am located on the 3rd floor in a back room with 10 other interns.  At first, I really liked working in this room because it allowed me to bond with my co-workers.  However, my mentors and supervisors all work on the fourth floor; most of them did not even know our little intern room existed!!  Because of this, people rarely come looking for me.  Although being a talent agent is a very hands on, personal interaction type job, at the intern level is not.  I spend most of my days reading and for a few days, I became upset that I was not more involved in the company, that people did not really speak to me.  In order to over come this obstacle, I started going upstairs and speaking to the agents and assistants.  I found it very intimidating at first because everyone is always so hard at work I did not want to bother them.  But I finally found my comfort zone and realized that the best way to learn from people is to just pull up a chair and shadow them for a morning!
