My first 2 weeks internship at The English Bookshop

A short introduction (but maybe you have already seen me on Facebook): I am Joris, I'm 18 years old and I live in Holland. I am having a internship at The English Bookshop in Uppsala for 20 weeks, this is a part of my study: Marketing and communication.

Now I have had two weeks of internship at The English Bookshop. The first week was a kind of introduction week, I got to know everybody, and I got to know the shop. My first impression was that the people who are working here are very open and friendly. It feels very calm to work at The English Bookshop, even though it can sometimes be pretty busy.

What I noticed is that many of the customers are more like friends to the bookshop, than customers. Many people (customers and workers at The English Bookshop), know eachother. So it's always nice if people walk in, not only because they buy books, but also because it's a bit like a friendly visit.

A part of the second week I have worked at home. I have done a marketing investigation, and together with Jan we will look what exactly with the marketing I can help with.

I have enjoyed the first two weeks of internship at The English Bookshop. And now I even have my own blog! :)
