Associate Degree: My Internship Saved a Company
My name is Damiano Shehu.  Iím an Albanian student from Tirana on the associate degree program at Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.
The ìFinal Internship for the Associate of Applied Science: Management and Administrationî was just great. I got to see how fast this technology could change things. It was nothing short of miracle; a miracle that anyone who applies this tech can achieve.
I worked with a company that designed and produced movie and television props. They had been hit hard by the recent economic crisis. My initial observation was that the company had great potential. However there had been no production for the last 12 weeks: no work, no leads and ultimately no income. Also, I noticed that there was very little outflow of communication and promotional activities.
Based on my initial assessment of their scene, I concluded that the biggest problem that needed handling was promotion.
Therefore, the first action that I decided to do was significantly increase the outflow of communication and promotion. I came to this conclusion, because I saw the company was non-existent and needed to produce something. So, to handle this, I sat with the two top executives and emphasized the importance of outflow and promotion. I doubled the post cards outflow and the reaches for business increased by 250%!
About two days after the first wave of promotion went out, the company received its first job in four months. The company grossed $3,391.27 for that week. I then ensured that they were keeping the promotional actions going. As a result of this, the company closed another job for $7,800.00 the following week. Today, the company closed two more jobs totaling $7,000.00. Thus, the company grossed $18,191.27 in a period of 4 weeks. This was a thousand percent increase over the past twelve weeks, which had zero ($0) income.
When I look back at my progress, I feel proud of what I have achieved. Most importantly, Iím the product of all of the staff members here at the college. They should feel proud of what theyíve done. The results that I have obtained as well as other students are a direct result of their dedication and hard work. And on that note, I thank you for changing my life and making me more able to be successful in my chosen profession.

j0283210Based on my initial assessment, I concluded that the areas most needing change were marketing and promotion. A REAL strategy needed to be developed in order to confront the non-existent amount of reaches the company currently had, and also to get the company communicating their message effectively to their target markets. I presented an outlined strategy to the two top executives and emphasized the importance of its immediate implementation. It was very validating to see that the executives were impressed with my proposed solution and that they agreed to have me execute it. The strategy immediately yielded results with reaches for the company increasing 250%, and a 5X increase in income over just a four-week period!
