Internship Weekly Report
Student Name: Ms. Sarah Jason
Organization: Techtronic
Weekly: 1/16
Submitted Date: Friday 15th May 2019
In the first week of my internship, I participated in sales department of Techtronic company.
After the orientation, I started to work as an assistant of sales coordinator.
I started to learn many types of documents such as quotations, invoices and sales weekly
report. I also photocopied and recorded the documents in the filing system. Furthermore, I
answered the phone calls and took messages when sales team went out.
Weekly report example (cont.)
During this week, I involved in organizing an event for potential customers. It’s such a
challenge task for me. Many steps must be finished within a time limit. I was assigned to send
invitation letters to 50 business partners. In addition, I was responsible for an event registration.
The problem that I faced with is some customers didn’t find the registration table since I
forgot to attach the floor plan. Moreover, many snack boxes left because there’s a mistake in an
order confirmation.
From the tasks and the problems, I’ve learned how to work with others and have more skills
in organization. When sending email to customers, it must be check and make sure that all
important files are attached. Besides, the staff should reconfirm all tasks with the parties.
Weekly report example (cont.)
To sum up, I think that it was an enjoyable and informative week even I have to deal with
problems. For me, it’s quite hard but good teamwork can achieve the goal. I believe that I will
gain more experiences in a real environment in the upcoming week.
