An Unforgettable Internship Experience at OceanClick


From the moment I first learned about OceanClick Virtual Solutions (OCVS), I knew that it was the place where I wanted to do my internship. The vision of working with a dynamic team, engaging in exciting projects, and honing my skills was an irresistible prospect. As a sophomore, my forte lay in news writing – crafting compelling stories that resonate with readers. Armed with the skills acquired during my academic pursuit, I embarked on this internship with a sense of eagerness and curiosity. The allure of transforming ideas into visually striking designs awakened a newfound excitement within me. Through the art of editing graphics, I discovered an unanticipated passion that surpassed my love for news writing. The process of bringing forth visual narratives that spoke directly to an audience's emotions felt invigorating. It was as if I had unlocked a treasure trove of creativity that had been dormant within me all along.


Graphic Designing


Since my discovery of Canva during my senior high school years, I have actively engaged in graphic designing, benefiting from the platform's readily available templates for various output formats such as PowerPoint presentations, posters, and infographics. Additionally, I honed my skills by designing invitations for my relatives' children's birthday parties, featuring themes like Barbie and Batman.


Upon entering college, I refrained from participating in creative committees or engaging in poster design for specific organizations due to certain circumstances. However, my trajectory took a different turn when I joined OceanClick Virtual Solutions (OCVS). Through my association with OCVS, my proficiency in editing Instagram posts and curating other social media content relevant to the company's industry experienced considerable growth. I came to appreciate the significance of grasping and aligning with the brand identity while tapping into one's innate creativity to produce exceptional social media posts that effectively promote the company's services.


Creating Reels for Instagram and TikTok


Equipped with these advanced tools, the video editors at OCVS effortlessly maneuvered through the editing process, turning raw footage into captivating visual narratives. Their seamless execution unveiled the true potential of video editing in elevating the quality of content. During my time at OceanClick Virtual Solutions (OCVS), I had the opportunity to observe the skilled video editors in action. Witnessing their expertise and proficiency, I couldn't help but recognize the transformative power of video editing applications like Adobe Premiere. Inspired by their work, I decided to delve deeper into video editing myself. I started practicing basic techniques using user-friendly applications like Capcut and other freely available websites. As I navigated through the editing process, I began to appreciate the artistry behind creating compelling videos. Moreover, OCVS's focus on video editing enabled me to glean valuable insights from the content they shared on their social media platforms. Their Instagram and TikTok accounts featured captivating videos that not only promoted their services but also served as a source of inspiration for aspiring video editors like myself.


Through this enriching experience, I came to understand the significance of video editing in modern storytelling. It has the power to evoke emotions, convey messages, and captivate audiences in ways that traditional media cannot match.


Meeting New People


As I stepped into the premises of OceanClick Virtual Solutions (OCVS), a surge of excitement and nervousness coursed through my veins. I anticipated the opportunity to meet new people, to forge connections, and to embark on a transformative internship experience. Little did I know that this initial week would challenge my preconceived notions and unravel the stereotypes associated with Mass Communication students.


The world often envisions Mass Communication students as confident extroverts, effortlessly navigating social situations with finesse. However, I soon realized that this assumption didn't necessarily hold true for everyone, including myself. Despite being a current Mass Communication student, I found myself grappling with the apprehension of communicating with unfamiliar faces in a crowd.


In this unfamiliar setting, I opted to adopt a more observant approach. I keenly read the room, attentively studying how my fellow colleagues expressed themselves while engrossed in their work. My eyes became the lens through which I observed their interactions, trying to decipher the intricacies of effective communication. Whenever I felt the weight of silence while engrossed in my tasks, I paid attention to how my colleagues approached me, making me feel included and valued.


OceanClick Virtual Solutions (OCVS) has proven to be a pivotal wake-up call for me as I navigate the uncertain waters of soon-to-be post-graduation and job searching. Embarking on this internship journey has been a revelation, allowing me to not only have fun with my tasks but also to gain invaluable experiences and insights. Throughout my time at OCVS, I had the privilege of working on diverse tasks that challenged me to step out of my comfort zone. From video editing to graphic design, each assignment presented an opportunity for growth and learning. It was an adventure that pushed the boundaries of my creativity and honed my skills in ways I never thought possible. More than just refining technical abilities, my internship at OCVS served as a masterclass in communication. I found myself interacting with colleagues and clients from diverse backgrounds, each encounter equipping me with valuable lessons on effective communication.


To those embarking on their own internship journey, I urge you to seize every moment, relish every challenge, and cherish every connection. Embrace the uncertainty and welcome it as an opportunity for growth. With the right attitude and a willingness to learn, every experience can be a stepping stone towards a fulfilling and rewarding future.


Thank you, OceanClick Virtual Solutions, for an unforgettable internship experience that has truly prepared me for the exciting adventure that lies ahead.
