It all started with the respect I had for airports.The thought of knowing that the people who come in and out of the airport mightve been across the country before they got to SFO continues to fascinate me. The story in which every person has entering into the airport has gained my attention and is probably one of the things that continue to attract me to the airport environment. Then after realizing my interest of SFO , I started to do my research on how to become an active member in the SFO community and that is how I found the internship I am part of now. I would have to say that the process of applying is an experience in itself, having to fill out an application to coming back for an interview and lastly waiting for the “you've been selected” or the “we are sorry but..” phone calls is a journey. Receiving a phone …show more content…
From meeting new people, to working in the mechanical maintenance department, and learning the secret behind airport operations, I’ve gained so much from being here and I am super grateful. I take a lot of pride in working here and although I am only here for a couple of months I have learned plenty. I have grown so much as an individual in such little time and i can finally say that I have had work experience which is really exciting. Obviously I am not at the point where I can say I will want to pursue a specific career, but as I’ve learned I don’t need to do so right now. Although my career goals have not been fully shaped, my experience here at SFO has taught me how to do so. Therefore I would like to say that I’m super prepared to slowly figure out my goals this following school year. After working here for I am at that point where I’m highly considering about becoming a permanent employee at SFO because I love being here. At the end of the day, I would not replace this experience for anything else in the
Is where you are in your working career where you want to be for the rest of your
As I reflect on my college life, I wonder about the choices I have made that have led me to where I am today and that will guide me into shaping who I long to become. The things I have had to sacrifice, the support and experiences I have had with family, friends, strangers and work colleagues. I don’t know what I will be doing three months or thirty years from now but I do know that I want to have new experiences. When I graduated from high school, I knew I didn’t want to be that person that moved back to the same town and stayed there for the rest of my life. I even contemplate leaving the United States in my adult life. Who really knows, maybe those cards are still in the deck. For now, I know my immediate goals include focusing on completing my college education the best I can, and moving away from my comfort zone, broadening my horizons and taken risks.
It all seemed a little overwhelming. How I ended up there still seems like a dream even today. Back in early 2001, while working in an art museum library in Nashville, Tennessee, I heard about the internships at the National Gallery of Art. They have quite the reputation in the art world. I bemused myself by daydreaming of one day being an intern there. At the time I heard about them I most certainly wasn't a good candidate. I only had the one art museum gig under my belt and I still really lacked direction in my career ambitions. But fast forward to 2002. I was no longer working at the art museum library (the position was eliminated due to budget cuts) and I was no longer living in Nashville (I moved to Tucson to attend SIRLS). There's probably nothing else like losing your job to really make you figure out what you want to do with your life. I realized several things: I wanted to continue working in an information provision setting, and I wanted to work with visual collections, specifically photographs. Because of those goals, I chose to immediately find my way in at the Center for Creative Photography as soon as I arrived on campus in Tucson. I started out as a volunteer and would go on to do an internship there. This critical experience was exactly what I needed to boost my resume to the level of D.C. intern candidate. So . . . six full months before June 9, 2003, I applied for an internship at the National Gallery of Art.
While taking my required internship for school, I already work for COACH’s Information Systems (IS) Department. I’m fortunate to be able to use, and count my job towards my required internship hours for my Bachelors degree. Though, this is my second job as an IT professional, there is big difference when it comes to environment, and a slight difference in procedures. We handle five-component frameworks such as computer hardware, software, data, procedures, and people in fast paced environment.
Although trained as an engineer, my most substantial accomplishments have been in non-engineering sectors since the management and finance divisions of my company necessitated my involvement and a change in my career goals.
I’m a student at Tompkins Cortland Community College this is my first semester as a college student. I plan to go to college for four years and only be at TC3 for this one semester, then transfer to a four year school. College has grown around the world more than ever and more people are attending college more than ever. I have chosen to go to college because of the rewards after graduation. Yes it is another four years of school but by getting more education and an extended degree gives me more opportunities for better jobs and more money. The career I have chosen to study is business administration. I am hoping that it takes me to a great job managing a company or possibly being an accountant.
I have been blessed to have led a highly fulfilling career over the past 22 years. The Air Force’s standards of conduct and performance have helped me mature into an adult while creating lasting memories along the way. I have had the opportunity to make significant contributions to my country that offer a sense of pride and personal achievement. My current duties allow me to directly contribute to the Air Force and Joint arena on an almost daily basis. Joining the Air Force helped me to realize I had undertaken a task bigger than myself.
Throughout my childhood, my choice of career changed like the direction of the wind. Daydreams as an astronaut, actor, or musician were all too common, with me never feeling satisfaction from doing that line of work for the rest of my life. However, during the summer of my freshman year in high school, that would change as I felt at an early age the temporal fragility of life that can take us down unexpected paths we would have not previously considered.
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
Throughout my internship, I was well trained and did receive a fruitful experience. The real working environment prepared me for future employment after my graduation. However, I did encounter some problems, which I gradually managed to deal with. Whatever happens, productivity increases by keeping a positive attitude.
The Internship follows the lives of Billy McMahon (Vince Vaughn) and Nick Campbell (Owen Wilson) and their path to success in life and with regard to an internship at the Google headquarters. Billy and Nick at the beginning of the film are salesmen, who real-ise that the sales company to which they belong has declared bankruptcy. The harsh reality hits them that the increase in modern technology has decreased the need for them in the business market. Facing this dilemma, Billy and Nick go their separate ways, and Nick desperately decides to work for his arrogant brother-in-law, Kevin (Will Ferrell) which proves to be harder than expected. While searching for sales jobs on Google Search, Billy is faced with an epiphany. The epiphany that he
During the course of time, I’ve learned many useful things that have led me to be the person I want to be today. From college classes to work experiences, I now have the ability to exceed upon internship experiences that can shape my perspective on life. The purpose of this paper is to summarize, reflect, analyze, and synthesize on my internship experience at the Children’s Home of Reading-Acute Partial Hospitalization Program.
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.
This paper focuses on the personal experiences gained from the internship while supporting the functions of Human Resources (HR) at the University of Texas at El Paso. The HR department provides a variety of services to all Staff, Faculty and Student employees. Throughout the internship, knowledge and skills have been obtained in the specific area of employment and recruitment. Personal experiences such as; conducting criminal background checks, and E-verify reports which verifies an employee’s eligibility to work in the United States were the typical daily functions of the internship. Interning in the HR department has presented exceptional opportunities that will help fine tune practical skills and gain professional experience while pursuing an undergraduate degree
Looking back after nine years, I could not feel more assured that at that time, I made the right choice. My unusual combination of experiences sets me worlds apart from not only a normal engineer but also from a marine engineer at similar position. Working for a big shipping company, exclusively on international assignments in high tech, capital intensive and rising LNG industry is the kind of job I had envisioned at the time of finishing my graduation. I could not have come here without that choice I made back then.
