One of the things my internship has recently shown me, is that I have more skills than I had previously recognized. I haven't written in html code since I was in middle school, taking computer classes, but recently I've had to relearn this tool.
Our website is designed by a company called Parsus, and they use the Wordpress software. They are typically involved with creating mobile sites for restaurants, for example when you are able to order Chipotle from your phone. But for us they made an exception since we have personal contacts between the two organizations.
Since we have been having a ton of media hits for the recent announcement that our founder will be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, it has been my job to update all of the news stories to our website. This has meant writing in html code. So sure enough I'm relearning the code and the tricks and hints that go along with it. I'm actually surprised at how quickly it came back to me, and I've been enjoying relearning how it works. I might even keep studying it a little over break and see if I can become proficient enough to be able to put that on my resume as a skill.
Thats great! I can relate to having to re-learn and start from scratch with some skill sets. Sounds like your doing great through!
ReplyDeleteYeah, html code can be confusing. I've never had any classes or experience with it, but another intern I work with has to do that on occasion and I've seen how it works a bit. That's awesome that you can actually recall stuff all the way back from middle school, and it's great that you're enjoying relearning how it works to the point that you want to keep studying it. I agree, having that skill will look really great on a resume.
ReplyDeleteAnd I got your post about a friend getting chosen for the Phoenix Sister Cities Internship. Glad we chose some good people!
It looks like you have a great memory and you learned HTML really well since the first time!. Computer skills are always an asset, especially now. I am sure you are very valuable in your organization.
