My
internship continues to be exciting and interesting. Wednesday of last
week, American Authors, who sing “Best Day of My Life”, came into our office to
do a private performance for a hand selected group of winners. The
interns got to look in on the performance as well, and also got a chance to
talk with the band for a few minutes before they left. After they left,
our boss had a long discussion with us about professionalism and how to act in
the presence of celebrities who come into the office. Even though we are
young adults who may be huge fans, when we are in the office, it is important
to remain professional, polite, and not to inquire too excitedly about the
stars' lives. Even though most of us acted professionally, it was
definitely still important to go over these points and hear it first-hand from
our boss. In addition, we all got offered tickets for their concert that
night, which was very generous. This was a really great experience for me
and allowed me to practice keeping a certain level of professionalism when
working with celebrities, which is something I thus far do not have a lot of
practice with.
You can even tell that you are acting professionally when writing this post. I would definitely sound much more excited if this were me, so I'm sure your boss would be happy to see this. Nonetheless, you were so lucky to get to see them! Hope you can enjoy other encounters with professional singers in the future.
ReplyDeleteYour boss gave you excellent advice, and it is advice that you can apply to any situation in the future, whether its an average person or a celebrity. I feel that celebrities are busy with their careers and really want to find professional people to work with so that they're more efficient and manage time well. I like that you got tickets at the end though, it just goes to show that being professional paid off! Can't wait to hear about the future experiences you will have and how you maintain your professionalism!
