I was privileged enough to get the opportunity to be a tax intern with PricewaterhouseCoopers in Atlanta, GA this spring. The beginning of my internship experience was a little different from the others because I was able to go to the National Championship in Arizona with an organization on campus. I was quite hesitant to ask for the time off because I was just an intern and I wanted to make the best impression possible. I emailed the manager that I interviewed with and after a week, he was able to get back to me with the firm’s policy. If an employee’s alma mater makes it to the national championship they are eligible for two days off. I am not sure if I would have asked if the manager had not been an alumni from the University of Alabama. …show more content…
They have a “dress for your day” dress code which means you can wear jeans, wear a full suit, or whatever you feel that is appropriate for your day. So if you have an important meeting, it might be beneficial to dress nicer for this, but if you are doing work from your desk or handling more internal issues you can dress more casually. What I love so much about this office is, even though a vast majority of the employees are wearing jeans, they are still professional at all times. Professionalism is something that is very important to me. I believe you are who you surround yourself with and to know that a firm can handle high profile clients and also be comfortable is something that appeals to …show more content…
When I was busy, I was on several clients at once and trying to figure out how to manage them all. When there was nothing, there was nothing. I was told that the slowest points of an accountant’s career would be when they are an intern and when they first start out as an intern. I felt like I could be doing more when I sat at my desk for eight hours in a day and have not done anything besides make a few copies are or send an email. I understand that since I was an intern, I may not have a lot of work at all times and it wouldn’t make sense to start me on big projects when I am just going to leave in three months, but I felt like a nuisance when I walked around and asked for work and then I felt unproductive when I was just searching through eLearns to do that may or may not apply to my field of work. I realized that I would rather be so busy that I am slightly overwhelmed than just sit at my desk refreshing my email for the duration of the day. The first month was fairly slow for the entire department, but I was privileged enough to have been involved on some pretty exciting client calls that made a huge impact on my perception of the field and my long term goals in the
In the months preceding the start of my Federal Tax internship with KPMG, LLP this past summer, I had mixed expectations not only about the potentially difficult work I would be asked to complete, but also about how I would fit in at such a big and prestigious accounting firm with my limited experience and knowledge. In anticipation of my summer at KPMG, I would find myself searching the Internet for articles and forums with helpful advice for new coming “Big-Four” accounting interns and brushing up on some potentially helpful excel formulas. But, as my start date grew nearer, my nerves were progressively replaced with excitement and an eagerness to learn.
I am grateful for the opportunity to be considered for the Intermountain Administrative Fellowship. I’ve had the great privilege of working at Intermountain for nearly five years, and I have enjoyed the culture and people I have been able to work with. I would like to identify three career goals related to population health, and two related to the development of Intermountain Healthcare.

Small firms tend to be less formal and may have a more relaxed, casual, dress code. A less formal dress code would save the paralegal money in the long run because there would be no need to keep up with expensive formal clothing.
The Dress Code promotes how we act. If you dress professionally, then that’s how people will take you as. A professional. And from what they expect is how you
John Cage has always been known as a controversial and new age composer. Some say that his pieces lack the very structure that makeup classic forms. I argue that John Cage’s work Living Room Music, despite instrumentation with no set pitch, has conclusive harmonies and is in the style of a Baroque suite. This is a strange concept for some because pitch has become such a focal point around harmonic analysis when in reality it can be determined simply by ensemble texture and dominate features.
Many businesses have begun using a casual dress policy on certain days. Implementing dress-down days may be an effective way to boost employee morale. The question that seems to pop up too often is whether dress-down days are a benefit or burden to the company. Many companies have adopted Friday as a casual or dress-down day, while others have made casual business attire a full-time policy. Some employees view wearing casual business clothing as an employee benefit. To others, it is a disaster. Both men and women are often confused about what "casual" means and about how to dress casually and still look professional. Some people in management positions feel employees goof off on casual dress day. This report will look at all these issues as well as a conclusion about the effectiveness of casual dress days.
My education experiences are very uniquely different from the majority of college students. I was homeschooled for my entire life until I entered college. The only teacher I ever had was my mother and the only classroom I ever sat in was my kitchen table. Being homeschooled awarded me many distinctive opportunities that other students weren’t entitled to. It also meant that I was shielded from the parts of the education system that my mother didn’t agree with or support. For instance, I didn’t take graded tests and didn’t received grades on the essays I wrote. Instead when I took a test, I would help to check over it to understand any mistakes that were made. Similarly, the essays I wrote would be discussed and then often re-written as examples
Communication with difficult coworkers is a topic that gets researched. Several articles relevant to the topic of constructing a professional image are available online. Thomsett (1991) discusses in "The Little Black Book of Business Etiquette guidelines on how to communicate a professional image with the use of proper dress code. Wardrobe do's and do not’s along with recommendations are in an online journal article by Eastern Unive...
Taxation has evolved throughout history as a method of funding government functions. The US government began taxing its people by imposing tariffs on certain items such as liquor, tobacco, sugar, and legal documents. Currently, there are taxes on almost every function. The IRS regulates income tax laws, central appraisal districts control property tax values, and there is a state sales tax on most purchases across the country. Taxes are difficult, if not impossible, to avoid. Benjamin Franklin stated “'in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” (Isaacson 463). Revenues from property taxes are used to fund public schools, hospitals, and local governments. I will discuss the history of property taxes and compare the Texas property tax rate to the rest of the country. Property taxes are more efficient than income tax and a better way for local governments to collect revenue from taxpayers.
This paper focuses on the personal experiences gained from the internship while supporting the functions of Human Resources (HR) at the University of Texas at El Paso. The HR department provides a variety of services to all Staff, Faculty and Student employees. Throughout the internship, knowledge and skills have been obtained in the specific area of employment and recruitment. Personal experiences such as; conducting criminal background checks, and E-verify reports which verifies an employee’s eligibility to work in the United States were the typical daily functions of the internship. Interning in the HR department has presented exceptional opportunities that will help fine tune practical skills and gain professional experience while pursuing an undergraduate degree
My internship experience this semester was interesting. I interned at ESH/MESH with Bridgeway. My Supervisor was Emilie Banz. I didn’t do much but I did learn a lot from this experience. I met a lot of great people and watch PsyR in action. I met a couple of individuals who were really cool. My experience this semester has prepared me for the next.
During the course of time, I’ve learned many useful things that have led me to be the person I want to be today. From college classes to work experiences, I now have the ability to exceed upon internship experiences that can shape my perspective on life. The purpose of this paper is to summarize, reflect, analyze, and synthesize on my internship experience at the Children’s Home of Reading-Acute Partial Hospitalization Program.
It’s always important to follow the dress code. The way you dress will make a good or bad impression on the people you work with. Your clothes should be neat, clean, and not torn. You don’t want to stand out from everyone else. You should always say “Please and Thank You”, and you should stand and shake hands with people when you meet them for the first time. You should also keep your desk and office clean, and clean up after yourself. Don’t gossip, and always treat your coworkers with respect. Be sure to ask before borrowing things, and always return them as soon as you are finished with them. Make sure to take care of your personal things on your own time, or during breaks. Also, when speaking on the phone or to others in the office, it is important not to get loud and yell. Make sure to give compliments to others when they do something good, and make sure if you mess up to take responsibility for what you did and try to fix it. Also, if you hurt another’s feelings, make sure to apologize. Most importantly, always be on
