Nevertheless, it’s to be noted that the kind of work that I was hired or performed did indeed give me a practical approach to what I was learning academically to be applied at the internship, given my specific responsibilities. I was hired in order to deal with the technical or IT related aspects at the dental centre hence, able to apply my concepts and academic coursework such as including to manage information

Within the field of networking I was able to learn about network security and the basic aspects upon which networking is based upon which suggest knowledge gained relating to encryption and decryption. All these skills have allowed me to grasp the practically of the internship in a more professional level. These skills have also helped me in distinguishing myself from internees of other degrees or who have earned a different set of skills. They allow me to compete better and help me feel more proud at what I’ve learnt.

3. How did your knowledge gained from your coursework help you organize, understand, and make sense of the internship experience? The coursework and the knowledge that I’ve acquired academically has shown me numerous things and the majority of them have profited me amid this internship for instance networking. Networking amongst other concepts have been extremely useful including the different layers of network through TCP/IP protocol that I’ve managed to learn about.

Considering my interpersonal or communication skills I didn’t expect myself to be good at presenting and being able to address a lot of people. Personally being a shy and reserved individual it pleasantly surprised me that I was able to not only present quite well but also I enjoyed it. I was given the opportunity to present each week my progress to my supervisors and not only it got better with time but I also became much more at ease with the atmosphere and with though around me.
7. Which areas do you want to focus on improving before the end of the internship experience?
Before I end this internship I really hope to not only take away the great experience from working with such a hardworking team of Sahara dental but I also hope to improve my communication and social skills. Despite, becoming much better at presenting I hope to now become much better at understanding others emotionally especially, when working in a team and I hope that the work that was being achieved in a specific amount of time could be achieved in a more shorter time as I become more comfortable with my environment and specialize my jobs and duties.

    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.…
