It started out the Spring of 2011, I was ending my Junior year of college and going into my Senior year that following Fall. I got an email from my college that I had to enroll into an internship for the following Summer break to count as a credit towards my classes for my Senior year. So that day I started to look up internships for Marketing. There was a website that my college provided me with so I clicked on it and put in my information and what my degree was in. It came up with millions of internships across Oklahoma, the United States and all around the world. I applied for some here in the US but there was one particular that stood out to me. It was Buckingham Palace. What???? No way! Buckingham
Palace? I had to click on the description. It said "In this internship you will be paid $40 an hour, plus hotel and booking expenses all paid for. You will be help plan the events, parties, Galas and etc with the Royal family at the Windsor Castle." I couldn't believe my eyes so I was like why not? I already had a passport so I applied hoping for the best. When I got to school I was in good friendships with my academic advisor and I showed her and she couldn't believe it either and hoped for the best.
Over the next following weeks I had interviews for the internships over Skype in the United States and they all came out to go nowhere. Then, that one day came along and got an email to do a Skype interview with one of the Royal assistants that had created the internship. I was nervous and excited this was it, this was now or never. My Skype interview was the next day. I told my mother and she was delighted and we went out shopping for my perfect outfit. Next morning comes along and I get dressed and ready and get on Skype and wait. Sure enough it dinged. I came on and behind the assistant was one of the rooms in the Buckingham Palace. I took deep breaths and calmed myself down and went on the with interview. I answered every question and spoke why I wanted to be there and how it will help me grow into my career. I felt good about it after we ended the call.
