Littlestpetshop Advent Calendar

seventh round, Intern from N to Z.

N: Nothing. will try to make you feel that way. You think that if they do, or is it a spirit of self-preservation, self-defense (the youth already is the envy of itself, let alone is promising), or because they have undergone the same treatment.
O: OBSTINACY. Already at the dawn of your career will start a mild form of bullying. In fact, is the Darwinian concept of natural selection made into office (which, as everyone knows, is also a jungle). To discourage you, trying to leave inactive and less work can be trimmed. Do not wait, ask, and (eventually) will be given. If the boss continues to ignore you, follow the harsh ways: perseguitatelo. I'm not joking: he went on walking a few inches from her shoulders. Sooner or later it will sell, if only out of desperation.
P: POST. Both in the sense of being able to stay in place, both in terms of profession. To avoid unpleasant disappointments, train yourself to think that the permanent contract is an urban legend, the co.co.co a rare diamond and exploitation at face value (Because if they do, it means that there is substance).
Q: quality and quantity. From combine, of course. If the rest of the world is impossible, it is the duty for you. Write fast and well is the starting point, not a gift that you have more.
R: respectively. will also be jealous, will also get past the difficult moments like yours, but this is not a justification for not complying. To be read, for my dear account: the fact that I am in your own office even though less than half your age should be a source of fear for you, not snobbery.
S: SURPRISE. If you followed the advice of the letter A (WARNING) you will know what is expected of you. Then also try to do what you do not expect. Anticipate the copy-head is the thing I do best. For example, if he tells me the next day I will entrust the bodycopy an advertisement for underwear, I quietly, steal (or rather borrow) the briefing, I brought it home and the day after arrival at the office with the work already done. Which is almost always to change. But the effect is guaranteed.
T: TALENT. Great wrath of the intern. Because it is the traineeship, the real test. The confirmation that you have talent, it implies the denial of owning leads to existential crisis.
U University. find that there was unnecessary, but certainly not sufficient. Trite but true, the tests never end.
V: WILL. Take good "a sack and a basket." Try to replenish your apprenticeship with outdoor activities, but always relevant to your industry. Tangible example? This Segnal'etica in my column, but woe to me that the first copy!
Z: SUGAR (a little). And the medicine go down. I realize that it was a bit 'pessimistic in this alphabet: rest assured, there are happy moments. It can be a compliment fattovi by copy-head, a nice discussion with the advertising art director, the group photo greeting cards for Christmas Agency. Small moments of pure happiness, adventures such as when a child he went to visit her grandmother (who, as children, is always a bit 'a sacrifice) and had the gift of candy.
