Thanks for checking out my first post about what it&#8217;s like to intern at Intel\u00ae. Intel\u00ae, as you all probably know is a major computer chip manufacturer. This summer I get the chance to work as a marketing research intern at Intel&#8217;s\u00ae corporate office in the heart of Silicon Valley, Santa Clara, California. I&#8217;m not allowed to take any pictures\u00a0of this place, but take my word for it the building are enormous, and lined with bright blue, just like the Intel\u00ae logo.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn3.google.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTCH0KeNjB8CJ7ruCPlw92g_KjhCBsIcVyRT5tbb-pOeotsFaKs\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"151\" \/>I work in the Robert Noyce Building, Robert Noyce is the founder, he founded Intel\u00ae in 1968.

The museum has a section that replicates what being inside a chip labratory looks like.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/here4now.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d171f53ef01156fccaef2970c-450wi\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because I&#8217;m a marketing research\u00a0intern\u00a0I don&#8217;t really get to go inside the labs, so I made sure to check out this section of the museum during my orientation.<\/p>\n<p>So now that you know where I work, let me tell you a little about what I&#8217;m doing here for the next ten weeks and show you my ten week plan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tasks: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Week 1:<\/strong> Set up meetings with persons in charge of Facebook, Twitter and Intel Blog groups.
