My Reflection Of My Internship With Allied Barton

As it comes to the end of my internship with Allied Barton it was a decent time. Though when thinking of my likes and dislike there are much more dislikes than likes. This I feel is mostly true for my fellow interns but it 's rather disappointing. Since this wasn’t the internship that I wanted they aren’t that many similarities to the activities performed as a security guard related to my career goals. That being said I wasn 't interning for the job I intended on going into I can’t say it wasn’t a learning experience for me. Looking at the likes they are mostly basic everyday job perks. I liked my boss Lisa she helped me get settled always making sure I was comfortable with schedules and etc. What with this being a paid internship …show more content…
Once people started getting fired she had me helping out more covering shifts which let me get more hours than I would have. Because she wanted me to become an employee after my internship was done.

I was even told that I was overqualified based on my past work experience. Which goes to show that it doesn’t take much for a person to become an employee who is expected to protect important objects and people. The career that I would like to get once I graduate is to work as a crime victim specialist. Then after I gain experience and more education maybe a behavior analyst. So as you can see there aren’t that many this that I can take from this internship that would relate to my career goals. But there are a few things that I might be able to take from my experiences this summer. Those being patience, having to deal with angry workers, and how to handle paperwork. The one I probably need to work on the most was patience which has to be made to sit around for long periods of time definitely requires some patience. Lastly, this is something that I could easily put done on my resume as another experience that helps show I am a responsible worker and dependable employee by interning for this
