I am lucky enough to say I have just accepted an internship offer not too long ago. The company I just accepted is called VWR, a publicly traded company dealing with the distribution of research laboratory equipment. For my sales internship, I go into research labs, introducing the people in the labs with new products that will either save them money, save them time, or make life easier when doing work. I also handle a lot of the administrative work such as getting pricing for clients and handling calls a client might have. This all started with a simple email I received in December. Normally I would disregard any job offer through an email, but something about this email felt like it was personally written, rather than a mass email. After doing some research and building the courage respond, I relied saying I was interest. To my surprise, I received a response within a matter of minutes describing the requirements and qualifications. The person I was talking to was the sales representative for a region in Colorado, her name is Stephanie Hastings, and she would be the person I work under. It would be in her interest to be apart of the recruiting processes since the person that would get hired for to this …show more content…
Not long after that I had my first contact as a VWR member with Stephanie. We schedule a day where we could meet and help guide me through some of the programs they use, as well as the new product the was introduced not too long ago. At this meeting I had a chance to meet with other interns too, this would great for me because they also came from CU Boulder and I got the opportunity to ask how they thought of the job, and find out what is and is not working for them. It’s a way for me to get some reassurance that I made the right decision. I realize with this job, I was encourage to have work independence and
Internships completed by students in certain degree programs are quite popular in most colleges and universities. An internship is used so classroom based learning in a degree program can be applied to practical situations in the real world (Jordan, Burns, Bedard & Barringer, 2007). When students are placed with an agency, there is a real possibility that a portion of students will witness actions they believe is unethical or illegal. During a study conducted within four universities, many students that participated in an internship program within the criminal justice system reported that they had observed behavior they suspected to be illegal behavior for a law enforcement agency. (Jordan et al. 2007). Due to this ongoing problem, colleges

Some of the limitations that I felt myself come across is that as an intern I was not able to follow up with my case load as much as I would have wanted. For one, my program is outpatient community based, meaning most of my interactions were at his home with a social worker because we are not allowed to use government vehicles to make home visits. This was difficult because I was not able to gain full rapport with my client because there was always an extra set of eyes that was also interfering with the process of rapport building. My other limitation was that I was only available two days a week which made it hard for me to be there as his case manager given the fact that he was in crisis a couple of times.
According to the Cambridge English dictionary, the word relationship has a variety of meanings. Firstly, the way two things are connected and affect each other – Scientists have found a relationship between lung cancer and smoking. Secondly, the way in which two or more people feel and behave towards each other – I have a very bad relationship with my neighbor. Thirdly, the way in which you are related to someone in your family and lastly a close romantic friendship between two people, often a sexual one – I have had two serious relationships the past year. In this case, relationships are based on how we feel and behave towards each other. In this generation mostly known as millennials, it is very hard for some people to respect that sometimes
Last week was a very good learning experience for me. I was able to interact more with patients and felt like I had a better understanding of what the expectations of an intern is at St. Bernards Behavioral Health (SBBH). Throughout the week I was able to work with another Therapist Danica, who brings a different approach to therapy. Danica is an extremely intelligent and assertive individual, whom I feel I can also learn from along with my field supervisor. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work under more than one mental health professional and observe how they differ in their approach to treatment.
Before the internship, I thought judges were of course humans, but I was hoping they were nice. I thought it was going to be a bit intimidating, but I knew I looked up and aspired their profession. It was like the day I was going to meet my judge I was so nervous, yet I looked forward to it. I remember I was surprised different Judges would run their courtrooms differently. I thought they would kind of have a similar system for things, which they sort of do, but not completely. Generally speaking, the Judges are great individuals and are very unique. Most of the Judges have lived pretty interesting lives and seem to enjoy their jobs. The Judges seem to be very knowledgeable, and very considerate of the Jury, court reporters, and their clerks. The judges of course seem neutral when in front of the jury as expected. For example, Judge Lippitt, does not allow anytime to speak over each other in her court room she is always saying that they have to be respectful there is a human being recording this, referring to the court reporter. Then, she is very considerate of the Jury and their time, she will tell them the trial is longer at times to make them happy if it ends early. Further, Judge Lippitt really cares about the jury instructions and that they are as neutral as possible. Something I have learned from Judge Lippitt, is that you have to be very careful as a judge to notice when attorney’s are acting a little suspicious. Another very significant lesson I have learned from Judge Lippitt is that preparedness and awareness is really important.

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.
In particular, it was helpful to here from individuals on the panel that were graduates from our program. Elizabeth Cowart, a LPC at Transitions of Augusta, informed my classmates and I about about her personal internship experiences. She noted four key things (1) the importance of getting as much hands-on experience as possible (2) taking a mental note of the what you like and dislike at each internship site (3) using weekly supervision hours to discuss your areas of strengths and weaknesses and (4) remembering to always maintain a professional image. In addition, she also gave a brief overview of opportunities (e.g., adolescent group therapy, child and parent therapy, disability evaluations, etc.) that interns might have at Transitions of

Indeed, I admit that my experience in my clinical internship is much different in my industrial setting. I experienced the world of unemployed and employed people. I experienced to look for a job, pass resume, being interviewed and waiting for a call from a company. I admit that it’s really hard and tiring to look for a job. After all the struggles, I received a call from the company where I want to get in and spend my internship. I got accepted to work and do my internship at Philippine Airlines, for me I take this as an opportunity since I really want to work in airlines. I worked at Philippine Airlines for almost a month. I was assigned in Human Capital specifically Compensation Division. At first, I find difficulty in adjusting to this
