Intern

Young Lives Foundation
İstanbul
05.2022 - 09.2022
  • I started working in Young Lives Foundation as an intern in May 2022.
  • My job was to make literature reviews on academic articles related to Young Lives Foundation and my job position also required basic level Excel skills.
  • Finding academic articles and making literature reviews on academic articles about current social issues which Turkish youth face in 2022 related to my job field wasn't much challenging thing to do according to me because it was something I was already used to do in my sociology courses.
  • However, the Excel skills that they demanded from me were challenging because my Excel skills are the worst compared to my other computer and technology skills.
  • I had to quit my job position as internship in September 2022 because of my graduate education (master's) in anthropology.
