1477: Never Cast a Wide Net (1 More)
Some people will feel that the internship period is to go to the company to study.
That's right.
But it also depends on where you go for an internship. In a company with a relaxed atmosphere and a slow pace of work, interns can’t do much when they go there. They learn something after being slow with the company’s regular employees, and their mouths are sweet and hands and feet are diligent. , there are still people who are willing to teach interns - if the company is fast-paced and their work is overwhelmed, who has the patience to teach interns what to do?
Sweet mouth is useless, others have no time to chat!
What grey has done is right. Interns want to learn things in gmp. They can only rely on their own summary in the process of doing things. When you're done, you can see if you're doing it right.
If not, do it again.
If you don't want to see a disappointed look on your boss's face, make fewer mistakes and don't say "no."
&np can recruit master students, architects with work experience and qualifications, these are the employees that gmp needs... interns? An existence that can be replaced at any time, if you don't do it well, you can't do well.
Because it was jointly recommended by the Wilson Hotel and Cornell University, and there is business involvement, Xia Xiaolan and the students who go to the firm for internships will only have a certain salary in the past two months. What about the cost!
&np is not a charity, and those who cannot create benefits for the firm are not worthy of attention.
Just like when she started a company, the newcomers who just arrived said how awesome they are, how much annual salary they need to be equipped with RV treatment, Mr. Xia will only let the newcomers go as far as they can!
Xia Xiaolan silently did what grey ordered, and did not rush to do it. She was observing the staffing and daily operations of gmp firm's New York office.
Mr. Andrew Kissinger, a partner in New York, this can be passed, but Xia Xiaolan cannot reach it.
Hans Hoffmann, the main creator of the Wilson Hotel project design team... This senior architect, you can consider Raiders. He is Ms. Grey's immediate boss. Grey is actually Hoffman's assistant, and she manages Xia Xiaolan and Matthew. It can be regarded as letting the two "participate" in the project.
Xia Xiaolan made a list in her mind and set her own goal of practicing in gmp:
1. Obtain approval from grey.
2. Approved by Hans Hoffmann to participate in the design of the Wilson Hotel project.
The management structure of &np firm is used to build its own architect firm after returning to China in combination with the actual situation.
The three goals are progressive and have a clear context. Xia Xiaolan's mind is very clear.
She and Matthew also reached a "truce consensus" that everyone should not fight internally, and rationally divide the labor to complete the work that Grey ordered.
Matthew, a scheming boy, really can't be honest. While doing things, he teases here, helps people make coffee there, and actively integrates into gmp.
&np has its own pantry, where the freshly ground coffee machine is placed, and the interns drink it casually, not to mention other employees!
This is also very reasonable. When architects are rushing into projects, it is normal to work overtime. Is it okay not to drink coffee?
Can't buy coffee for everyone, Matthew took a different approach and ordered some doughnuts and pizza to come to the office - gmp's New York office is obviously more men than women, Matthew is focusing on pleasing female employees, don't forget to check the overall sense of presence .
"Xia, let's eat pizza together?"
Xia Xiaolan did not refuse, "Thank you, I'm really hungry."
Matthew's approach seems to have seized the opportunity, but Xia Xiaolan is not in a hurry.
Speaking of being cheeky and pulling relationships, this young Matthew can't compare to the cheekiness she has practiced for two lifetimes, but doing so will not help fulfill the three internship goals set by Xia Xiaolan, and she is also happy to be a scheming boy.
Compared with the intern who will be smart, what Ms. Grey needs should be someone who can really help. If she needs to use her strength, Xia Xiaolan will aim at a target, and she will never cast a wide net half-heartedly. Her first-stage strategy target It's Grey... Look at this morning, Grey is busy with his feet off the ground, frequently entering and leaving the senior architect Hoffman's office. On the translucent glass partition wall, Hoffman is leading the entire team in a meeting to discuss .
The sound insulation is so good that you can't hear anything.
But it must be the Wilson Hotel project, the looming work of Hoffman Architects.
There should be a lot of pressure on gmp to compete with Foster and P&W.
The opportunity came suddenly, Grey opened the door of the office again, and glanced around, it seemed that everyone was busy with their own business, and the Cornell intern was chatting with the front desk——
Xia Xiaolan stood up and walked over a few steps: "Grey, I have completed this document."
Grey took the document and glanced at it hastily, not knowing if he was looking at it carefully, then raised his head and directly instructed Xia Xiaolan:
"You come in, don't ask questions, just do what you want to do, can you do it?"
"can!"
Xia Xiaolan saw that Matthew had left the front desk lady and stepped forward. She didn't give the other a chance and flashed into the office of Hoffman Architects, which both of them yearned for.
"I'm sorry, Senior Carlton."
Xia Xiaolan apologized silently with her back, and Matthew stopped, finally realizing the feeling of Xia Xiaolan watching the elevator door shut in the morning.
No, a hundred times more angry than that!
Xia Xiaolan missed the elevator, so she could still take it
Take another one.
Matthew missed Grey's call and wouldn't have a second chance today.
"Sure enough, he is a vengeful and strong..."
Matthew gritted his teeth secretly, Xia Xiaolan asked Heidi to apologize, and he could see that this Chinese exchange student would be very troublesome!
Xia Xiaolan didn't care what Matthew thought.
Walking into Hoffman's office, which she was thinking about, she didn't wait in vain for most of the day.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Xia Xiaolan is not only doing the work that Grey ordered, she is also checking the progress of the Wilson Hotel project. It's not this year that Harold had this idea. He bought the land to build the hotel last year. The firm that wanted to get the project was also doing concept design last year. Now Wilson has approved Foster, p&w As well as the conceptual designs of the three gmp offices, gmp will produce more detailed design drawings.
After the bidding is successful, the construction drawings are issued.
Xia Xiaolan, the interns, just joined them at this point-she followed grey into the office of Hoffman Architects. Of course, it was not Hoffman who discovered her talent from a distance, but grey needed a helper.
Grey asked Xia Xiaolan not to ask questions, because he was afraid that the intern would anger Hans Hoffmann.
An architect who has not been home for three days, if he must use some standard to measure his state at this time, it is probably very similar to the McCarthy Demon King before the inspection.
Xia Xiaolan followed behind Grey. New York in June was full of sunshine. The large floor-to-ceiling windows made this office extremely bright. The large work table was placed in the middle. The table was piled with drawings and various materials. The architects are having a heated discussion... take a deep breath, this is what "architecture" smells like, it's so refreshing!
