1. Where are you going?
I am going to Knowhere Games and Comics, the same internship establishment that I attended last year. The reason why I wanted to go back was because I really enjoyed the environment and feel like there's a lot more that I could do project-wise in this business. The store was a great place to work for internship and I am looking forward to continuing this experience with a new project. 2. Who is your mentor and what do they do? My mentor is the owner and manager of the store. He has many responsibilities that mostly include work at a more corporate level. He does things like advertise for the business by going to comic-based events to get creators to come do signings at the shop as well as endorse it. He also has a lot of responsibility with running the shop; he keeps track of the stock, what items sell or do not sell, and the general store paperwork and upkeep on a more professional level. 3. Describe your project and daily responsibilities. For this year's project I wanted to try and do something more analytical and research-based. I have always been a more creative person rather than analytical, so I wanted to challenge myself a little more than I had last year. My project will be studying the business tactics and success of the bigger comic companies. A lot of what I will study in college will be around business models and research into consumer habits, so for this project I wanted to warm myself up to what I will be learning in college and challenge myself to become more invested in my studies. I plan on creating an info graphic or poster for my final product. Along with this, I will also do daily responsibilities for the business and upkeep the shop. 4. What are you excited about learning during this experience? I am really looking forward to learning more about the analytical side of the business and the tactics that go into the success of these businesses. This will definitely help me to learn more of what I will study for college and help me ease into this type of learning and research. Along with this, it will prepare me for my future career and prepare me for the real world.
