Prior to my internship with Liberty Mutual, I had previously only had one IT job. As a result, I did not have an extensive IT work history. Furthermore, as a sophomore, I also did not have the IT coursework that other interns had. These two circumstances resulted in Liberty Mutual IT Help Desk being the perfect internship. Prior to my internship, I had taken CIT 17600: Information Technology Architectures. During that course, I learned the different components of computer and how to troubleshoot common computer issues. The ability to follow a troubleshooting procedure was utilized every day during my internship. While the computer system or application might be different every day or every call, the process in finding the solution was always the same. The second course that was useful during my internship was OLS 37100: Project Management. Although the project management class was geared towards project managers, the terminology and processes learned helped me in participating …show more content…
While gaining troubleshooting work experience was important, the most valuable experience I gained was from job shadowing. Before the internship, I really did not know what information security entailed nor what networking meant for a large company. After job shadowing the Security Operations Center and the networking engineers, I decided to concentration in both Networking and Information Security. Furthermore, multiple times this semester I have been able to use my experience at Liberty Mutual to respond to a question on an assignment. For example, in my Networking Fundamentals course, I had to research cloud technologies. During my time at Liberty Mutual, I had to troubleshoot certain cloud technologies and attended different talks about the future of “the cloud.” I used these experiences in the assignment on cloud
But as my internship grew closer to the end date in early September, I began to reflect on my experiences with a “Big Four” accounting firm. After only three months, I had gained exposure to a handful of very different, and very large client work and worked with some very intelligent individuals throughout. I had made some good friends and several acquaintances while interning at KPMG and had spent some very rewarding time helping out the local community volunteering. I had found a passion working with partnerships and forming client relationships.
This internship period is an initiative to bridge to the knowledge and application. This will provide an opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in to practical. By working with organization employees, we will come to know the organizational culture, behavior, etc. theoretical knowledge which is gained in the class room becomes the base for all
It made me realize there are tons of jobs other than being a police officer and I was interested in what they do. I was satisfied with my job placement and I would recommend future students on attaining an internship here that is in the Bucks County area. It provided experience, and hands on learning that is valuable to anyone in this field. There would be no changes I would make with their internship program. I liked how they let me go on my own to do tasks and not be just getting people coffee and filing. It provides a real learning experience and can also see different sides of the criminal justice
During the summer of junior year I interned at Accenture. I worked in the IT department, diagnosing and resolving PC hardware and software issues and imaging an endless amount of computers for new hires. I enjoyed the freedom I had to explore new aspects and specs for computers: I was both a co-worker and a student, rather than just someone who shadowed other workers. At the end of my internship, I found a new and more intimate appreciation for technology, but I also felt an unknown longing for something more.
Business internships are helping students gain real world experience while they are not actually out in the real world yet. Internships are becoming more and more popular with college students in today’s world. An internship is basically when a student in college goes to a company or business and works while they are still enrolled in school and still getting academic credit. The main purpose of the internship is for the student to gain valuable on the job work experience. But there are also other things that a student can get from internships. Internships help the student decide whether or not this line of work is correct for them. Since the student works in an occupation in which they are highly interested in it really helps them get a bigger picture of the outside world.
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.
In addition to that, through my internship assignment and especially throughout my interactions with employees and customers, I’ve been given the opportunity to strengthen my confidence in my interrelation personal skills and my capabilities and to learn more about customer’s behaviors and expectations and new “group work” issues, which also affected my motivation level.
ability to establish a professional work ethos as well as developing skills needed to maintain a work life balance. Through all the experiences gained from this internship, it has provided skills such as multitasking in a fast paced office setting, keen organizational skills, and improvement on communicating in a professional workplace as well as the ability to handle situations as they arise.
This is a matter of pleasure for me to acknowledge my deep sense of gratitude to University Sains of Malaysia for giving me an opportunity to explore my abilities via this internship programme. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my academic supervisor, Dr. Amirul Shah for their valuable guidance and advice in completing this internship.
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.
What are the benefits and advantages of internships? Internships help you gain exposure to real issues not found in textbooks, it also helps to increase your skills that are readily marketable from doing an internship. Interning can provide you with personal growth experiences and exposure to different job opportunities. Internships give you the opportunity to evaluate potential employers nearly risk free, which is a plus. I did an internship for a year at my church. The first thing I had to do was find the facility I was going to do the internship with. The next thing was to engage a suitable mentor for the work I was going to do as an intern. After talking to two perspective mentors one was chosen. Your mentor has to be dedicated to your success, and your spiritual growth. He or she must not be afraid of telling you the truth, and make sure you can follow instructions. An internship helps you to clarify your goals, gain experience by applying your knowledge and skills in work related situations.
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.
The quarter has finally come to an end, and with that, I close out my internship and this class that went along with it. It was a great experience and I leave equipped with a new set of skills that are preparing me for the world ahead. As I write this reflection paper, I think back to the very first week when I set up two goals for myself to focus on and hope to achieve throughout the following weeks. My first goal was to develop a better understanding of myself within the work place, and my second was to develop a strong network to jumpstart my career. Both of my goals were achieved, however, I don’t feel that either of my goals will ever be complete. I believe that you can always formulate a better understanding of yourself, and you can always network to develop a stronger tree of connections. I know for a fact, however, that I reached satisfaction with both of my goals at this internship at MKI and know whole-heartedly that I did everything in my power to exhaust my resources in
I started as an absolute beginner and when I learned more about the job I started thoroughly enjoying it. The work was aimed at identifying threats and assessing the damage they were likely to cause, tagging and eliminating them. To execute my job responsibilities well, I started learning fundamentals of Linux. Within a week, I developed a strong grasp on the basic commands that could be used on the terminal. I started using another Linux distribution, Kali Linux. Thus, I learned a lot about cyber security and ethical hacking. Deeply intrigued with these fields, I undertook in-depth research on them. The internship was useful to learn how real
Throughout my internship, I was well trained and did receive a fruitful experience. The real working environment prepared me for future employment after my graduation. However, I did encounter some problems, which I gradually managed to deal with. Whatever happens, productivity increases by keeping a positive attitude.
