I was able to assist every department within the agency in some way, which allowed me to gain an array of experience dealing with different aspects of agency work. Although I have no formal design experience, it was nice that I was able to help out the graphic design department with opinions and direction on their designs and getting to work with that department was something I never thought I would be able to do. Another aspect of my internship that I really appreciated was that I was not given stereotypical intern work. Tasks such as fetching coffee and cleaning the office were not included at all in my internship which made the internship experience that much more valuable as I was able to actually learn about the industry and focus on my future, rather focusing on how complicated a Starbucks order can be; ergo, there is little I would change to improve the intern position at Mad Men
