The more time you spend doing something, the better you’ll be at it. It’s why language classes use full immersion and why, after three months, I would say I know some of the quirks of Turner PR. I have been interning here since January and as an intern you get a peak into a company that few others actually see.

No, the Turner staff will not make you run to the near-by Starbucks and buy everyone coffee, but here are a few ways to see Turner PR from the interns’ eyes:

1. Every other Wednesday, come rain or come shine, the Mountain Man sales rep will enter with his delicious looking cart of goodies. Yes, the first four or five times you may feel pressured to buy because of the chocolate candy he slips you. BUT, take heart, the rest of the office rarely partakes. However, you can probably get on Efrem’s good side if you check to see if Mr. Salesman has gummy worms on him (it’s a guarantee that Ef will buy).

2. You find out how hard it really is to order a magazine when you start to call some of the trade publications where clients are featured. You will get the same voicemail day after day, and I’m convinced that there is an email address somewhere containing 100’s of emails from me asking for a certain publication. Then the fun comes in trying to find your client in the magazine.

3. Get ready for a blast from the past everyday because Turner rocks 80s and 90s music, which I happen to love despite only being alive for one year in the 80s. I now find myself humming “Tears for Fears” and scribbling down old songs to download when I get home.

4. There will be deliveries from Zaidy’s Deli and a delicious smelling Chinese place, 101 Asian Fusion, that will  leave you with a grumbling stomach. There is not a single thing in your brought-from-home lunch that looks or smell appetizing after this food arrives.

5. It’s of the utmost importance to make friends with the other interns because while your computer is taking its time loading you will need someone to share a laugh.

6. There is a cupcake shop called Big Fat Cupcake a few blocks away. The office will order from there when it is someone’s birthday. The cupcakes are delicious, there isn’t a single flavor you can go wrong with but beware, you will need to abandon any sort of diet in order to eat it.

7. Turner’s clients are so outrageously cool. I find myself needing a vacation every single day when I look at pictures or read about the clients. Mexican beaches, South American hiking and luxury spas… yes please!
