When it comes to the internship the most challenging part of the job is convincing people to buy from you. You have to overcome a lot of obstacles to get the person to do business with you. It can take a lot of work especially when it comes to creating the proposals to make the numbers work so that you are coming in at a price that they will agree to. We use Sherpa to create our deals and it can take a lot of finesses and creativity to get them to work. One of the main reasons it is hard is if we buy out the current contract that they are in. It makes it so we basically have to role buyout into their new contract. This can be difficult because we have to come in cheaper than their current price or they won’t switch to us but we also have to account for the costs of buying out their contract.
Another challenging aspect of the position is keeping up with the quotas that we are all responsible for meeting. For each month were are responsible for bringing in a certain amount of money and it can be difficult at times to reach that goal. As it gets closer to the end of the month it can become very stressful. Dean is understanding if you don’t hit your goal but it is something that he expects to be done more often than not.

When looking at the rest of my college career I only have 6 months left but it is still plenty of time to use what I have learned. The main way it will influence my college career is that I will be able to take what I have learned at my job and take it into the class room. I feel as though at UCCS I have learned a lot of the conceptual knowledge of business and marketing but now I have more of the actual experience. This will allow me to take that real world experience into the class room and apply it with the conceptual knowledge I have
Time sure does fly; in the blink of an eye, yet another 7.5-week class has come and gone. Just like life, it is scary to think that in just a few short years I will be graduating college and in search of a future career. The magnitude of readings, assignments, PowerPoint lectures, and videos have all contributed to the valuable knowledge I have gained since taking this course. Nothing that was presented or required was seen as invaluable towards my progression of career development. This career development course has allowed me to do some self-exploration, career research, and help me understand what influencing factors are related to the job market.
As a political science major Washington DC or something related to it usually comes out in classes. It has been a personal dream to go visit, but it has become a recent aspiration to go and work there. In any field, it can be difficult to get a job to jumpstart one’s career. The “real world” is known as after college for most people. For the post college reality, I have been trying to make it as painless as possible, but at the same time have it reach its full potential success wise. The reasons that I am interested in the DC internship, are that it would be a great experience, it would help me develop new skills, and it would be the perfect start for my career.
One addition I could add to the college is my public speaking skill. When I was younger, a local church was having a “Youth Day”, a day where teenagers and children take over and run the entire church service. From ushering, to singing, acting as deacons or even preaching, we did it all. Two kids and I were asked to preach for that service, and naturally I was scared at first, but I decided to get out of my comfort zone and give the church a sermon. I worked on the
Developing your ability to work with adults as part of a team is a key
Attending college provides students with the experience and knowledge they are unable to receive from a high school diploma. Also, finding a way to fund your way through college will be a huge pay off in years to come. Whether they are looking to advance within a current job or looking to start a new career, the energy put into a college degree will help anyone qualify for better opportunity in the working world. Improving personal and professional networking skills is a great way to meet people in different professions, but it’s a good way to make new friends for yourself. If you 're a bit unsure whether if college is right for you, consider taking a year off. Students can use that year to work, explore career options. The experience may even make someone more attractive to a first-choice college—or change of mind about what college someone may wish to
Having a college education is very beneficial for a person’s future. The degree itself is not the most beneficial aspect of a person’s success in the future nor is the type or rank of school attended will be most beneficial. The education received throughout the years in college will be the most beneficial reward in a student’s life. The education a person receives from a college experience is not only the textbook education or the education provided by the professors but also the real-life experiences. The real-life experience benefits are what will truly matter in the future. A few specific benefits from a college education are the life experiences, the commitment to someone/something other than yourself, the skills achieved such as time management and organization, and also the self-sufficiency a person profits. College is also a great time to find yourself through the chaos of balancing life and maintaining passing grades. “Another one of the many benefits of a college education is meeting others from distant places with diverse backgrounds.” (McGuire) In high school, students do not have the wide range of people from different backgrounds. In college, students are introduced to everything new to life and along with that comes other students from different areas of life. Going to college and having the
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.

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
...es are a great way to start out a internship in a Business Administration career because they hire people from the community and people that are not required to earn a high payment as a beginning salary and people who want to learn about the business. At some internship interns do not get paid for the hours they worked because to graduate it’s a requirement and you need them to learn and get a better feeling about the job.
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.
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
