Going into this internship I honestly didn’t know what to expect or how to feel. I was anxious, nervous and excited because this is the first official job I have ever had so everything was new to me. Working in multiple positions in the same outlet allowed me to widen my understanding of Harbourside and each position taught me new skills that I will continue to develop in the years to come. The first of the three main position that I worked was a server. As a server there are three separate roles that I learned to do which are, back-of-house, back-server and front-server (captain). In back-of-house I learned how to increase the flow of efficiency of my own work and others. I learned to look and plan ahead to prepare things to increase the flow …show more content…
As a back-server I learned the value of communication (specifically with other co-workers), multitasking and thinking logically. As a Back server your main responsibility is to make/serve drinks and serve food, assistant the front server, also known as the captain, in any way possible. The skills of communication, multitasking and thinking logically are skills used in every job and will continually grow through new experiences. These skills are transferred to the next job and increased and so on. As a captain your responsibilities are the same as a back-server but the main focus being the guest’s needs. The skills that I learned are problem solving, communication with both guests and co-workers, and increasing my emotional intelligence. The significant difference between difference between back-servers and captains are that captains focus on guests and observe what guests needs and provide what they need before they even expect it. Captain and back-servers both serve guests, but captains learn to communicate with guests and ensure they’re satisfaction of their service and the …show more content…
One of the things that I would have done differently was to step out of my comfort zone more. I was able to pick up the tasks and the flow of service fairly quickly so my manager put me in a special role called a service champion. As a service champion our duty is to talk and mingle with guests and ask what how their satisfaction is so far at the hotel. When I worked as a service champion I was able to speak with guests but I wish I stepped more out of my comfort zone and took more initiative when speaking with guests. I spoke with my other colleagues on how to improve my service and they shared stories of how what they had experience which helped understand how to provide good
During my first week doing my internship at Department of labor of Veterans employment service (VETS), I was super excited to start because I know it was going to be an incredible experience working at a Federal government setting. In my first week being in the office I had to get all the paper work ready in order to be able start working for the government. For example, they will have to do a background check and copies of two of my personal documents. Furthermore, I had to do online questioners that is called E-Quip of which I had to create a password and username and also answer multiple questions about my background information and all the jobs activities that I had worked before. Furthermore, I also had to include three people that I know
As a political science major Washington DC or something related to it usually comes out in classes. It has been a personal dream to go visit, but it has become a recent aspiration to go and work there. In any field, it can be difficult to get a job to jumpstart one’s career. The “real world” is known as after college for most people. For the post college reality, I have been trying to make it as painless as possible, but at the same time have it reach its full potential success wise. The reasons that I am interested in the DC internship, are that it would be a great experience, it would help me develop new skills, and it would be the perfect start for my career.
For the past three and a half weeks I have had many new experiences, moving to Washington D.C. and starting as an intern for the law firm Carmen and Muss P.L.L.C. Throughout this time I have learned quite a bit about the daily tasks of an attorney and what living and working in Washington D.C. is like. My first week I was unsure of what to expect, having never had an experience like this before now. However I quickly learned the main projects I would be focusing on and was able to relate the things I have learned in the classroom at my home school to my internship experience. There is still a lot that I have yet to discover, however, these last few weeks have been rather substantive and I have learned a lot about working in a law firm.
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.
In 2012, eighty-four percent of Santa Clara University graduates who responded to a survey from the Santa Clara University School of Engineering obtained one or more internships during their undergraduate studies. Of those who responded, eighty-two percent were employed full-time after graduation earning a median salary of $62,500 (Santa Clara University). This research exhibits that internships can be an important strategy in the efforts toward job search for both students, as well as for employers looking to hire valuable employees. As defined by InternNE.com, an internship is any carefully monitored service or work experience that may be evaluated for educational credit in which an intern or student establishes learning goals and reflects on his or her learning experience in relation to achievement of the stated goals. Internships should first be examined that, when implemented at fullest potential, these opportunities can provide companies and students with a competitive edge in today’s business world. Subsequently, it can be shown that internships assist organizations and companies with temporary or seasonal project and task completion. Lastly, internships will be clarified as to how they allow students to gain valuable experience before entering the workforce. From reviewing an ample amount of research, internships are beneficial and advantageous to the success of a young student, as well as companies.
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.
My internship ended the week before the fall semester began. Three month was really not a long time, but it meant a lot to me. It was not only a great experience for clinical practice, meanwhile, I knew more about the meaning of life and the responsibilities I had. I was a new person since then with a new attitude. I was so lucky that I had a chance to change myself. Thanks to the old man. I hadn’t heard anything from him after he left the hospital, but I really wish that he is still alive. Ever since he talked to me, I didn’t feel proud when someone called me doctor anymore. I know that is who I will be, and there is nothing to be proud of.
It has been a while since I started at the internship and I am really glad I decided to work here. I think the experience in this area is a good preview of my career and future. I am learning some important skills and finding out some things about myself and the tough skin I will need in order to stay in the area of juvenile support.
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.
“My learning experience, things I can achieve, the decisions I make, the people I meet and befriend and the mistakes I make tells me who I am now and who I will become.” As a child, this was a belief that my parents taught me and, so I grew up with it and became very devoted to follow it. My parents always said to me “Learn all you can.” They also taught me that the decisions I make will help me to build my own destination, and the way I treat others will say the person I am. Until this day, I continue to believe, apply and follow that belief. Today, Hospitality Management is my number one career choice I have chosen to work for the rest of my life. In many different ways, Hospitality Management reflects my third, fourth and fifth of
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
In the entire six months of my internship the more work I did, the more experience I gained. It is the only way out to get better. I was there to learn so I made most of my time there. There are some rules and regulations of the company that we need to follow and being sharp on time is very important. Cowor...
The internship will include orientation on the function and will focus primarily on learning and developing new skills. This will help in the deeper understanding of concept through hands on application of the knowledge learned during the internship.
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
