Intern

My position as an intern at Hospice and Palliative Care Center has been very interesting. As an intern, I was required to attend a 3-day orientation. I was able to see what it may be like for other orientations in the future. We were able to learn a lot about procedures and policies of the facility, cultural competency within Hospice, funding for non-profits, and new changes that will be forthcoming. Once orientation ended, I was able to start my position as an HR intern. The staff in the HR…

Our strengths are an aspect in our lives that not many of us are aware of. In our society, our weaknesses are concentrated in our daily lives so that we can better ourselves. Rath stated, “You cannot be anything you wanted to be – but you can be a lot more of who you are already are ” (2007). This statement illustrates how important it is for strengths to be emphasized in our life instead of our weaknesses. Concentrating only on our weaknesses limits us by putting a hundred percent effort into…

Dave Chase and his staff always wanted us to learn from outside sources in order to become more diverse. Mr. Chase is an avid reader and loves to recommend books to anyone who would take his suggestions so as a going away gift to all of his interns he gave us a book about business in baseball. He believed that this book would help cement some of the things we learned over the summer in our brains. Dave would also take us to other minor league stadiums in order to learn how other organizations…

Have an interview with an intern is a lot of different experience than have an interview with the full-time employee. Interns have less experience or no experience at all; so to find if these candidates are fitting to the requirements of the company is like playing a game of cat and mouse. Still, don’t be that picky to choose the right candidate; you simply need to comprehend what you are searching for and how to ask the right questions. Above and beyond all other consideration, this interview…

Working as an intern at Microtime was interesting. I experienced a lot there, some good things and some bad. I went there Mondays and Fridays from 9am to 5pm usually. A majority of my time was spent sitting around, cleaning, or catching up on my homework. I didn’t mind having little to do since I know that there are other intern and the technicians didn’t have time to teach. Everyone at Mircotime was nice, but also unprofessional. I don’t think it’s ok for coworkers to be fighting in front of…
