An Internship At Apg Asset Management After Graduating College

Finance was not always my major. I have bounced around, looking for an area of study that peaked my interest. Three years and four majors later, I landed on finance. I started exploring individual jobs, companies and positions within the field that fit my interests. Through researching the various responsibilities, duties, and day-to-day operations of a financial manager, I have discovered that the freedom that accompanies this job in combination with the ability to work for a company that I am passionate about would fulfill my one precious life.

I will be attending Mississippi State University and majoring in business; in hopes of becoming a personal financial advisor. While attending college, I plan to gain a vast number of tools to guide myself and others to a greater financial state. I also plan to become a certified educator because in our area the occupation is vital to the development of our youth. Benjamin Franklin said, “An investment in knowledge

I am currently in my third year at the University of Florida. My major is finance and I chose this degree program because I love economics and mathematics. I also find financial analysis and investment banking extremely fascinating. I could not be happier or more grateful being anywhere else for my degree program; it is life changing and amazing to be a Florida gator. I would like to eventually go for an M.B.A. at the University of Florida after getting a few more years of working experience. I would even like to go for a P.H.D. in finance after that. I really enjoy the theories and concepts of

Something clicked with me and real estate, it’s as if the word was calling my name wanting me to go to that path in life. Of course, I had other

During my senior year of high school I got my first internship working for Visual String Marketing. It was a backwater office that you would have to truly go out of your way to find, but it was good work (if not freezing all the time). That lasted for a couple of months until I found a better (and paying) job working for Social Eyes Marketing.

I have thrived on this for a while because I find this as my best interest and It's something I plan on doing my whole entire life until the day I retire. My first step is to get my bachelors degree in finance, I feel as if I would enjoy finance because math has always come easy to me throughout middle school and high school and has been one of my best classes. I had figured why not do something that I enjoy and something that comes off easy. Even though math comes easy to me I am expecting to struggle in college but i'm also willing to push myself through it and to keep practicing until I get where I want to be. In my childhood I learned at the age of 12 that if you are not going to push yourself through tough times and work hard at it you are gonna have a hard time in the real world. When I was about 12 or 13 years old I had started working with my dad for his heating and cooling business during the summer and he has taught me a lot of the tricks and by watching I have learned how to replace units and how to read a blueprint for a new home that is being

I am certified residential real estate appraiser and have my own company in Bay Area for the past 10 years. Getting a degree in Business Administration was a part of my long term goal to become an Appraiser General. So far, I plan to proceed with my goal; however, shortly after graduation I have received several attractive job offers that tempt me to change my plans. The degree definitely opened new avenues in my career.

When I first started my internship in July, I was a bit disappointed. I was disappointed not only with the fact that I was going to be doing an unpaid internship, but also with the fact that I was working at a church that basically accepted me as an intern because my parents are missionaries. I had high hopes for the summer, expecting to intern somewhere like JB Hunt or Enterprise, but instead I was in Richmond, VA looking for guidance. I do not know that it is an experience I would hope to do again, but I definitely learned some things from my time working at Ridge. I hope these things can help me be a better team member and professional wherever I may go in the future.

When researching different majors and what jobs they could lead to, I eventually decided upon Advertising/Public Relations. I have always wanted to be part of a world full of creativity and memorability, which is what the advertising industry is all about. The thought of becoming a Copywriter in an advertising agency makes me excited to see what my future will be.

Over my high school career I have interned at two finance-oriented companies. IN 2012, I started at Megastar Financial, a mortgage company located in downtown Denver. Here, I learned about the complex mortgage industry along while assisting in the accounting and underwriting departments. The company I currently intern for is Innovest Portfolio Solutions. Here, I work in the marketing department, however I have a variety of exposure to the different pieces of the company’s different departments and committees. As I have been exposed to the world of finance, I have grown fond of the discipline. Along with these internships I have been an apprentice of both geophysics and botany at the University of Wyoming. The apprenticeships were completed

When I was planning on attending Baldwin Wallace University last summer, I was planning on majoring in Sports Management. A career field where I knew I could do enough just to get by; not really wanting to enter the field for a career. I quickly snapped myself back to reality and saw that I could succeed in Architecture.

In order for me to be happy and successful, I have realized that it is critical to achieve a healthy work, school, and life balance. With work, I have made the decision to return to real estate where I will be more in control of my life. I enjoy being a Realtor and I enjoy the freedom to set my own hours. I am very disciplined and self-motivated so this career choice is the best one for me. My marketing degree will benefit me whether I remain in real estate or whether I go to work for a corporation. If I stay in real estate, after graduation, I will most likely open my own brokerage and run my own business. By being a Realtor, I will be able to strike a healthy balance in my life regarding when, how, and where I work and this suits my

My internship experience at FRB Realty Capital was an introduction to the financial services industry. As a summer investment analyst, I was able to perform financial analysis on properties, research on property locations, create powerpoint and pitch books for our lenders to evaluate, and analyzed financial statements of the investor that were looking to finance in all asset classes. Also, I developed and improved my technical skills such as excel, powerpoint, and research abilities within the real estate industry as well. The internship was a fantastic introduction to financial services industry and I was very fortunate to use the experience and leverage at the SEC this past spring semester. At the SEC, I was a risk assessment intern at the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis in the Office of Risk Assessment.

In addition, the internship was a good to find out what my strength and my weaknesses are. This helped me to know what knowledge and skills I have to improve in future.

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.
