Internship Final Project: Berkshire Hathaway GUARD I completed my internship at Berkshire Hathaway GUARD in the Customer service department. My position is a Customer Service Intern and my responsibilities include: completing RISC panel installs, assisting policyholders with filing new claims, answering providers’ questions about bills and general information, and helping with all other miscellaneous calls between policyholders and other GUARD employees. Not only did I gain skills in these tasks, but I also learned how to work and interact in a professional environment with coworkers and supervisors, while building relationships. With this experience I have achieved all of my learning objectives and gained a number of unanticipated skills …show more content…
When I make these calls I am reminded of these differences, but also the universal similarities that we all have. They are all people trying to come to this country and run their own business or if you will, live the American dream. Moreover, I find that when I reach out to policyholder that speaks another language they are usually much more polite and grateful for my call. Usually when I call policy holders they do not have time for my call or they do not find the information pertinent to them. I can honestly say that when I have someone who needs and interpreter they are all …show more content…

    Bus/440 Week 2 Individual Assignment

    As a student in the BUSI 440 course I have found myself really enjoying and looking forward to the assignments. During the first weeks of the course, we were assigned to read over two articles explaining why internships matter. While reading such articles I noticed how much I agreed with the information, in “The Positive Implications of Internships on Early Career Outcomes” the author Nathalie Saltikoff brought up the point that students graduating with internship experiences in general are more likely than students without experiences to find employment. This statement made me realize how important internships truly are. If I look back at my past internship and work experiences, I notice that I was able to expand my networking circle and improve my thought process.…

    Berkshire Market Analysis

    Kensington Market is a culture filled neighborhood in Downtown Toronto that consist of various partly outdoor shops, store and markets. Initially, I was interested by the similarities Kensington had with the markets in Trinidad and Tobago, which where I’m originally from before I moved to Canada. Conversely, there are obviously differences in that majority of the stores in Kensington are partially outside, whereas in the Caribbean all of the market stores are fully outside due to there being hot weather all year around. Moreover, I was most interested with the rich history of the market, especially the old Victorian style building and houses that some of which have been maintained to this day. Correspondingly, it is crucial to understand the…

    Why Work Experience Is Beneficial To Your Future Career?

    I have found that, along with being integrated with graduate recruitment, work experience increases the employability of interns by improving their networking and professional skills, putting them in an advantageous position in the competitive graduate market. However, the value of these benefits depends on the career choice of the individual but overall it should remain beneficial, unless it is unpaid and not followed by a job offer, in which case the benefits are greatly diminished. Despite this, I believe work experience would be beneficial to an individual’s future career based on their improved position in the graduate job market, no matter what career they choose, and increased job satisfaction. Looking into the future, with the number of graduates growing each year, it seems inevitable that the value of work experience will continue to rise relative to that of a degree, indicating that work experience will become increasingly beneficial when competing in the graduate job market. Currently, however, academic programmes are regarded superior due to the lack of research into the effectiveness of internships which diminishes the legitimacy of such programmes.…
