[Intern Blog] Jonah Conrad’s Internship Experience

Please provide a brief introduction about yourself.

My name is Jonah Conrad. From the end of July, I participated in a three-week internship.

What are your thoughts after your internship in RFTC Japan?

I learned many important lessons that come with running and maintaining an organization or business. Especially, I learned about the importance of organization and proper planning. RFTC Japan is a complex and large operation involving numerous people and projects.
As an intern, I saw that firsthand by seeing the intricate details around sponsorships and tools needed to host their charity event, “Casino Night”. I also learned the importance of planning ahead of time, with many of my tasks involving around the rearranging of the organization’s inventory for future use. One example is organizing the Tabasco bottles for our charity event. Even such a simple task needed planning, and we organized them to ensure they were ready for future use.
