Internship #3 – nursing homework essays

 
***I am i interning for a market research company called BLANK. My daily tasks consist of reading graphs and charts related to consumer data  and trends for luxury companies. I often travel and collect field notes from consumer and client interviews. I then use those notes to construct finalized data collections and conclusions of consumer reviews on new products. I work with clients in the luxury sector (like tech and car companies) to help them improve their future products. With that being said there is a lot of secrecy and work done behind the scenes about getting and distributing data. When conducting interviews there is often a double sided mirror that allows my fellow employees and the client to sit behind  to take notes, observe and review their findings. I had to sign an NDA to ensure that I would not disclose any info about such companies. 

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME WITH MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY INTERNSHIP IF NEEDED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
