The original idea for my project was to go around all the different sections that make up the insurance company, and learn what they do everyday, and help them out with what they do. The final project would be a collections of all the work I have done.
After have been working here for a week and realizing there is not much I can do to help because I’m not properly trained, the plan is to switch sectors in the company. Along with insurance, they also own the San Diego Sockers. From now on I believe I will be working within that portion of the company. A lot of marketing has to be done for the soccer team so I will be working with my mentor to create ways to market for the team. So far throughout internship I’ve been exploring different parts of the company. I’ve now gathered that it is all extremely difficult to understand and all the people working here really know what they’re doing. Everyone seems to be very hard working and for the most part, pretty focused. The best part for me to see so far is watching everyone bond with each other. The atmosphere in this workplace is very positive and everyone seems to get along and each individual adds something different. While being around the office I have heard a couple of pretty funny things, I also just really enjoy talking to the workers. They have been nothing but friendly and open to helping me understand. Something shocking that I have noticed is that you don’t necessarily need to have gone to college to work here. Everyone says that insurance isn’t something that you can learn in college, but is something you learn just by doing. It’s cool to see young girls working to support themselves at such a young age, but that isn’t the path I would choose for myself.
