Last summer, I learned that a lack of experience can be extraordinarily stressful, but can also foster creativity and spur personal and intellectual growth. In my junior year, an opportunity opened up at my school for students to apply for a summer internship at a tech startup of their choice. I was of ten students accepted into the program, and despite the wide assortment of companies available in nearby Silicon Valley, I chose to use the $2000 stipend provided to travel to Munich and intern at a German engineering company called KONUX. Just after summer began, I left home for an unfamiliar country and an unfamiliar language, bringing with me only a basic understanding of what the company did, what my role would be at the company, and how my stay would be structured. Upon arriving, I was asked to assist in the establishment of a marketing presence in the United States. While the engineering side of the company fascinated me, my most useful talent to the company was my English writing ability. However, I quickly learned that the job required much more than the writing skills I had developed in school. Over the course of the next month I immersed myself in the experience, and increased my skill and familiarity with concepts I had previously unexplored, including copywriting, marketing strategy, search …show more content…
I was asked to write a press release announcing the release of a new sensor technology, and get KONUX published in technology-specific media. The process was complex and long, and I began with nearly no experience in any of the skills I was building. I started from the ground up, so in addition to writing the press release, I also had to research possible publications and contact editors and writers at those publications. My work paid off, and by the end of my internship, I was able to see my writing on KONUX published on various sensor-specific US media
Apart from the experience I have gained at LT Security Inc., my various internship positions have also exposed me to eye-opening responsibilities. For example, as a marketing intern at MySelf New York, I engaged in organized discussions with customers as well as colleagues in the pursuit of better promotional and marketing strategies. I have also gained experience with other matters such as employee coaching and assistance, employee relations, communication and implementation of policies and procedures during my time at Stony Brook University as intern in arts management and at Yunnan Changji Real Estate Co. Ltd where I served as an administrative
For the past two summers, I worked as a student ambassador for the Summer Immersion Program (SIP). I found out about SIP through my prep school’s (Sandy Spring Friends School) international department. My responsibilities included organizing activities for 100 international summer students with my fellow student ambassadors. I also gave tours through the Washington D.C, Baltimore, NYC, and Philadelphia areas. On the trips, I was responsible for 15-20 kids as I lead them through the big cities and explained anything that they misunderstand. I took students’ attendance on and off the bus. This incredible experience has profoundly influenced my decision to pursue a business degree which would allow me to pick up where I left off last summer; working with SIP as a business leader.
I realized how important language and grammar are, and that I needed to improve upon these skills before attempting to move forward on my career path. Currently, I am studying to become an elementary and special education teacher. Who am I to teach our youth grammar, when even I struggle with it? Based on this question was why I certainly pushed myself throughout the semester to continuously strengthen my work submitted. Additionally, having proper grammar is useful for any career field. No matter the job the probably for needing an outstanding resume is recommendable. With this skill of writing, it may surely take you down any path you choose. This is exactly why writing is unquestionably the toughest skill to
Some of the limitations that I felt myself come across is that as an intern I was not able to follow up with my case load as much as I would have wanted. For one, my program is outpatient community based, meaning most of my interactions were at his home with a social worker because we are not allowed to use government vehicles to make home visits. This was difficult because I was not able to gain full rapport with my client because there was always an extra set of eyes that was also interfering with the process of rapport building. My other limitation was that I was only available two days a week which made it hard for me to be there as his case manager given the fact that he was in crisis a couple of times.
Internships are becoming the norm in today’s ever changing society. Both paid and unpaid internships allow the intern to learn about a particular field or industry, gain experience in that particular field or industry, and build a network that can be leverage for future good. These benefits combined prove to be very useful and significant to the intern because it’s a differentiator from those individuals who did not have an internship. Given the very competitive job market for recent college graduates, the many benefits of internships have caused many interns to pass up pay in return for the aforementioned benefits. Internships have become so standard in the workplace that the National Association of Colleges and Employers recently reported that 75 percent of employers prefer job candidates with relevant work experience, while more than 90 percent prefer to hire interns who have worked for their organization (Bacon, 2011). When it comes to hiring full-time employees, 42% of graduates with internships who applied for a job received an job offer compared to...
The writer is a 21-year old single woman who had just shortly completed a Bachelors Degree in Business Marketing when she was approved to participate in an internship program for a year in Japan.

In hundreds of years past, women were burdened with overwhelming expectations and with their lack of rights would push women over the edge. Reader's can see examples of this in the excerpt of A Room of One's Own, and Hamlet by Shakespeare. In A Room of Ones Own, the author shows the reader what it would be like to be a woman in Shakespeare's time by telling her story of struggles and failure. In the novel Hamlet, Shakespeare portrays a story of a lady named Ophelia crumbling under the pressure of the expectations placed on her by her father and brother. Both stories were written in order to give the reader a better understanding of the struggles women went through centuries ago within themselves and with others around them.
To fulfill the requirements to apply for graduate school, I started my internship as a medic last summer in a local hospital back in China. It was not only a great experience for improving professional techniques, but also I learnt the meaning of life and the responsibility I had on my shoulders.
Before the internship, I thought judges were of course humans, but I was hoping they were nice. I thought it was going to be a bit intimidating, but I knew I looked up and aspired their profession. It was like the day I was going to meet my judge I was so nervous, yet I looked forward to it. I remember I was surprised different Judges would run their courtrooms differently. I thought they would kind of have a similar system for things, which they sort of do, but not completely. Generally speaking, the Judges are great individuals and are very unique. Most of the Judges have lived pretty interesting lives and seem to enjoy their jobs. The Judges seem to be very knowledgeable, and very considerate of the Jury, court reporters, and their clerks. The judges of course seem neutral when in front of the jury as expected. For example, Judge Lippitt, does not allow anytime to speak over each other in her court room she is always saying that they have to be respectful there is a human being recording this, referring to the court reporter. Then, she is very considerate of the Jury and their time, she will tell them the trial is longer at times to make them happy if it ends early. Further, Judge Lippitt really cares about the jury instructions and that they are as neutral as possible. Something I have learned from Judge Lippitt, is that you have to be very careful as a judge to notice when attorney’s are acting a little suspicious. Another very significant lesson I have learned from Judge Lippitt is that preparedness and awareness is really important.
In 2012, eighty-four percent of Santa Clara University graduates who responded to a survey from the Santa Clara University School of Engineering obtained one or more internships during their undergraduate studies. Of those who responded, eighty-two percent were employed full-time after graduation earning a median salary of $62,500 (Santa Clara University). This research exhibits that internships can be an important strategy in the efforts toward job search for both students, as well as for employers looking to hire valuable employees. As defined by InternNE.com, an internship is any carefully monitored service or work experience that may be evaluated for educational credit in which an intern or student establishes learning goals and reflects on his or her learning experience in relation to achievement of the stated goals. Internships should first be examined that, when implemented at fullest potential, these opportunities can provide companies and students with a competitive edge in today’s business world. Subsequently, it can be shown that internships assist organizations and companies with temporary or seasonal project and task completion. Lastly, internships will be clarified as to how they allow students to gain valuable experience before entering the workforce. From reviewing an ample amount of research, internships are beneficial and advantageous to the success of a young student, as well as companies.
The quarter has finally come to an end, and with that, I close out my internship and this class that went along with it. It was a great experience and I leave equipped with a new set of skills that are preparing me for the world ahead. As I write this reflection paper, I think back to the very first week when I set up two goals for myself to focus on and hope to achieve throughout the following weeks. My first goal was to develop a better understanding of myself within the work place, and my second was to develop a strong network to jumpstart my career. Both of my goals were achieved, however, I don’t feel that either of my goals will ever be complete. I believe that you can always formulate a better understanding of yourself, and you can always network to develop a stronger tree of connections. I know for a fact, however, that I reached satisfaction with both of my goals at this internship at MKI and know whole-heartedly that I did everything in my power to exhaust my resources in
My internship experience this semester was interesting. I interned at ESH/MESH with Bridgeway. My Supervisor was Emilie Banz. I didn’t do much but I did learn a lot from this experience. I met a lot of great people and watch PsyR in action. I met a couple of individuals who were really cool. My experience this semester has prepared me for the next.
Indeed, I admit that my experience in my clinical internship is much different in my industrial setting. I experienced the world of unemployed and employed people. I experienced to look for a job, pass resume, being interviewed and waiting for a call from a company. I admit that it’s really hard and tiring to look for a job. After all the struggles, I received a call from the company where I want to get in and spend my internship. I got accepted to work and do my internship at Philippine Airlines, for me I take this as an opportunity since I really want to work in airlines. I worked at Philippine Airlines for almost a month. I was assigned in Human Capital specifically Compensation Division. At first, I find difficulty in adjusting to this
