Also through this internship I figured out that I will work to find a job that is not an office job. Throughout this internship I have realized that I would not be able to be in this type of working environment for very long. The people and relationships here are great but the work they are doing is not something that interests me, I feel like I am more of a hands on work type person. Because I basically come in and work in my little cubical every single day, I decided that for my photo essay, I'll add pictures of the tasks I do and the people I've worked with.
I don’t know if I would say that I’m always doing something because there seems to be a good amount of free-time but when I am given a task I finish it in a very timely manor. Tip 2: Don't go to a meeting without a notebook Whenever in meetings or shadowing, I take notes on what might be important or just what I’m hearing. Tip 3: Get to know all your colleagues EARLY Because I have been all over the office and working with a bunch of people, I have gotten the opportunity to get to know a good amount of the workers. Even the ones I don’t know are very friendly and open to helping me, or using my help. Tip 4: Show up on time (or early) for everything I have shown up on time everyday, usually coming in a little early. My mentor is very lenient with my come and go time but it’s still polite to come in on time. Tip 5: Dress more professionally than you think you need to The dress code here is very relaxed, the workers wear things you would wear just walking around your own home but I continue to dress as I would for school. |
