A Journey Into Hospitality And Special Events At Dress Barn

The situation that brought me from my first internship to the second one was frustrating and difficult. Nonetheless, it provided me with beneficial learning experiences for my career and life in general. One of the silver linings of interning at these two considerably different internship experiences was increasing my knowledge of two different types of business. The first of these areas was in the Non-Profit organization at PACS, where their mission is to empower individuals who are struggling. The nonprofit industry has always deeply interested me, and what I learned at PACS only fueled that interest. The time I spent at PACS was brief and ended abruptly. Nonetheless, I learned valuable and significant information and gained an understanding of the various business characteristics that are essential in nonprofit organizations.

An internship can also heighten the awareness of community issues, motivates to create opportunities, embrace new ideas, and give direction to positive change. A successful internship can provide valuable information in making decisions about the direction of future studies or employment. An internship is an opportunity to not only use and develop industry-related knowledge and skills, but also to enhance some of the skills that are transferable to any professional work setting. For some people, the internship is the first introduction to the world of work. No matter where the skills and understanding of professionalism lie, internship is a chance to develop them even further.

I knew it was time to start looking for an internship for this summer. While looking at the career services website a few months ago I stumbled across a logistics internship through Anderson Trucking Service. I researched the company for a while, and looked at the internship posting on ATS’s website. During my reading I found a few qualifications that matched my abilities and knew this was the internship for me. A couple of the key qualifications were: strong problem-solving skills, hard-worker, and sense of integrity. I have always pride myself on the fact that I can always accomplish something if I work hard enough. For strong problem-solving skills I go back to my previous job, where I was faced with solving problems on a regular

As I approach graduation, like many before me, I wondered what I was going to do with the rest of my life, with the hope of finding a career path that I would love. For me, I always have thought about furthering my education by going to law school or getting into politics. As I grappled with the decision of what would by my next step, I started to look for jobs in line with my qualifications and interests. My sister sent me the link to this internship, telling me to apply and saying that she knew the job is something that interests me. The moment I opened the link I was filled with excitement. This was the opportunity I was looking for! I am interested in this internship because it is an exciting opportunity to experience the operations of

When I first came to this school I had been trying to get a job for a year and I could not go through with the process. The idea of becoming an adult and having a job frightened me. I knew that when I decided to come here, that I would have to take part in an internship. I forced myself into something that was not comfortable for me, so

During the first two years of being open, the restaurant was just a place to dine with occasional happy hours. Customer service and perfecting the craft of the products was a major focus upon opening. Over the years, multiple weekly events have been incorporated in the week. Outings such as poker nights, live

---Michelle Minter says, “ When I graduated, I thought I was going to get this first- class job and be a successful marketing person. But those opportunities come with experience. I just thought I'd be automatically handed this great opportunity, but it wasn’t the case” (133).

After all, when life throws you a prestigious summer fashion internship, you take it. I had my doubts as the glass elevator scaled twenty stories to the roof but then once I saw the view I knew this is exactly where I belong. It breathed new life into me and inspired me to work hard. It taught me to live with an open mind. Why don't we choose our own authentic role models and true images for girls and women as we redefine our own greatest vision of womanhood? I was blindfolded by fears and paralyzed by the old wounds that kept me from experiencing life to the

I have a diverse customer service background that includes leadership and management roles. As a Member Service Manager for Fairwinds Credit Union- the largest credit union in Central Florida- I managed a team of eight member service representatives in assisting banking customers with achieving their financial goals. In May of 2013 I was presented with an opportunity as an administrative intern for Orlando Pilates and Massage, a small business in Central Florida. I assisted the owner in managing various projects and researching efficient ways to reduce overhead costs and generate new clientele within the community. As a result, the owner launched her business expansion in January 2014 and I was promoted to an Operations Manager. This role gave

In the 45 minutes conversation Ms. Rebecca and I had, I learned a lot. The first thing we discussed is to not pressure yourself to making sure you have everything figured out. She said by her going to Emory University everyone knew exactly what they wanted to be from the start, but she said not to stress about it, because life can take you many places and stressing about things far in the future is not productive. She also said if you are to stress, stress about short-term things, thing you can control, and to focus on your day-to-day goals. Also we discussed how to sell oneself in an internship, she told me to focus on my values and what I will bring to the table and will get out of the internship, like the experience, the opportunity to grow.

The dressmaker is a regional novel that means it shifts between genres. We see from the novel how the protagonist Tilly’s revenge changes the perspective by how readers view her and we adapt to seeing Tilly take on the role of the mad woman’s daughter. Using focalisation though Sargent Farrat, is the key element in finding a criminal who ironically holds a trustworthy job in a rural town that adapts to the genre

Although, I have to say candidly that I don’t feel that I accomplished or learned as much in the end as I had aspired to during the onset of each internship.

My first and only career fair I had been to on campus were a total disaster and I believe that my failure was due to the lack of information on my path. While listening to the workshop, it dawned on me that if I have had access to the same information I did on Wednesday then I probably would have landed the internship that I actually wanted.

An internship is no good if you do not make it work. Thus making the internship work for you is very important. To start out the student must want to direct their full attention to the internship because the internship is pretty much starting out their future. First impressions are usually suppose to be good so a student should not go into an internship thinking that it is going to be easy and that they can just blow through it. Internships should be beneficial for the students and the employer’s. The internship program coordinator should look for a few things when they are picking out the companies in which they are going to send their students to learn and gain experience. First off the firm in which you might be thinking about going into for an intern must have work for you to do. Sitting behind a desk all day staring out the window will not teach you anything. It also helps out when there are positive people surrounding the student intern. “For an internship to work, the firm’s principals must be available to supervise and teach.”(Berger 30) The student intern will usually have lots of questions and if there are good people around the intern to answer his or her questions and correct their mistakes then the internship will be quite beneficial.

Typically, internships are professional experiences that students participate in to gain professional skills and experiences. In this particular experience at Accounting Firm X I did in fact gain substantial professional skill while participating in new and challenging experiences. Internships allow in- class material to come to life in a practical manner. My internship did do this but not in a way that I had planned.
