Internship

professional development books. The first book my boss told me to read was What Color is Your Parachute? 2017 by, Richard N. Bolles. This book is on the most popular job-search books in the world. I will expand on the relevance of this book to my internship, as I discussed the book and my long-term career goals with my boss after reading it. The book challenged me to find my strengths, passions, and weaknesses. I thought of my career in relation to my personality and interests, not my major. One…

work and possibly work in a hospital to care the patients. Instead, I might deal more with children (ages 16 years old and below) as examples from my experiences from my last two internships. As for how I got to this current position, it was from selecting internships between semesters. When ever a clinic I wanted to internship, I had to resort to my backup locations when ever a clinic is not looking or interested in an intern or got no response from them at all. At first, I thought it as both a…

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…

global industry and multicultural understanding--a purpose I know I must serve. And this was what drove me to fly 8,500 miles from the Pearl of the Orient to the Land of the Free. I am Jolina Chiong, currently in a hospitality and tourism management internship here at the Big Easy--New Orleans. It is a commendable collaboration of the U.S. Department of State, J1 Visa sponsors, and host organizations to establish this program as a platform for cultivating young professionals through…

feeling of building this relationship matched the feeling of being inches from the jaguar. Knowing that this animal trusted me enough to carry it around on my arm was truly an amazing feeling. Overall, this internship was extremely rewarding. It is what inspired me to look for other internships that would allow me to gain more experience for my future…

employees is humbling. Another significant strength is the unique work environment, BHFS provides services for many sectors (outlined in paper one) which creates an opportunity to become knowledgeable in many different sectors. Weaknesses of the Internship It is difficult for me to think of “weaknesses”, there have been so many enjoyable moments and then there have been some frustrating moments. Every day was unique and presented new challenges. Some days were incredibly busy, some were very…

Internships provide real life experience in the work field. It enables us to get the hands on experience of working in the real world. When getting a job after graduating, an employer wants us to have an experience and not what we learned from the textbooks. Doing an internship helps us get a hands on experience in the real world and help us to socialize and network with the people around us of the same field. Working with Chirality Research Inc. I got a hands on experience while dealing with…

come look to you first because they know it will get done” (2007). I have seen this example of responsibility at my job as well as in my internship. Whenever there’s a task that needs to be done quickly at work I am one of the people that they first go to. I am extremely efficient and have been training new workers after a month of my employment. In my internship I am being responsible with my clients and daily tasks. However, being so open to always wanting to help can lead to taking on more…

Interning at the Exchange Club Family Center throughout my fall semester has been an enriching experience. Deciding to intern with them has been one of the greatest decisions I have made as an undergraduate student, because I was able to gain first-hand experience in the counseling field. Being the only bilingual intern also gave me the opportunity to witness how family therapy is conducted since I was responsible for facilitating communication between the clinical counselor and our clients.…

first two weeks are the first of any trimester or semester that instead of being enrolled in classes, I’m enrolled in an internship. This is definitely a change from the norm but at the same time it is exciting as well. It gives me the opportunity to use or observe some of the material that I have learned so far in my classes at Johnson & Wales in a real scenario. This internship allows me as well to gain much needed additional experience in the sports and athletics industry and will give me a…
