Arvind Dilawar: Intro

Arvind Dilawar on Jun 7th 2010

I’m a creative writing/journalism major and this internship should be the last class I take at Baruch before graduating. (Fingers crossed.)

I’m interning at 2tor, an education company that partners up with universities to create online degree programs. As with many internships, my responsibilities are really, really varied, dictated more so by necessity than anything else. Depending on what’s needed, I can be writing copy for one of our websites, working mindlessly on data entry, mailing stuff out, or fetching growlers from the brewery next door (drinking in the office on Friday is pretty routine).

Although 2tor doesn’t immediately seem like the best place to intern for someone wanting to get into writing and journalism, I feel like, because it is a company based on the Internet and because the future of writing is certainly online, there is a ton I can learn there. I already know the major aspects of blogging from prior experiences, but 2tor fine tunes blogging to science and the minutia of such is still foreign to me. Besides that, I know that 2tor is rapidly expanding start-up, so I’m hoping that my internship there may even evolve into a permanent position.

    Hey Arvind,
    How’s it going?
    I definitely know what you mean when you say that you’re not entirely certain if this internship is best for you but you’re absolutely right that the future of social communications and any form of business, is most certainly in the virtual world.
    I went into my internship thinking I’d be spending most of my time writing articles but they also have me doing a lot of things. I guess in a way it’s good to get the experience because it’s good to know you can be rounded in what you do. Now, not only do I know how to write articles and work with this publishing platform but.. I’m also gaining a very important sense of working with social media as well.
    Some of these little things can become tedious but at least we understand the way everything works within the system 😉
    Keep it up!
