MTV Networks Week 1 (September 15-September 18)

The highly anticipated first day. I was nervous yet eager to begin at such a prestigious and lucrative company such as MTV Networks. It was such an intense application process that I knew whatever I was about to do was going to be beneficial to my future career goals. I step into my building on 1540 Broadway right in the heart of Times Square NYC. I take the elevator to the 29th floor and I somehow find my way to my desk. I have my own computer and phone. I feel official. Within the next two hours, I am getting my computer and phone set up and adjusting into my space. I soon get my first assignment which is simply organizing files. Although the assignment is not that substantial, I still feel more apart of the MTV team that I ever had in my life. I soon get to network myself around the office meeting Music and Media Licensing Teams from VH1, MTV, Logo, CMT, etc. I am noticing how beneficial it is to be young and new in a space of really important people. I know that my next few weeks will probably be some of the most important weeks of my life.
