Target Intern Interview

This week I began my 6-week internship at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska (BCBSNE). The first day was a common orientation for all new employees, internally denoted to as the “onboarding process” where all employees are told they matter. This full-day session communicates the core mission, vision and goals of BCBSNE, organizational structure, operating objectives, and workplace culture. BCBSNE is a not-for-profit health insurance company that is focused on collaboration to find the best solution for their customers; in other words, they are customer-focused. Since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many changes to the health insurance market required a change in the organizational structure and culture of BCBSNE. Through partnerships with providers, the goals of BCBSNE are to be responsive, accountable, minimize errors, and decrease costs – all components of the ACA. BCBSNE has strategically aligned their goals to those of the government-mandated goals, and implemented them at all levels of the organization, making them competitive in the health insurance market. I found this very fascinating: I was very excited after day one!

This has enabled me to communicate with confidence when interacting with staff, parents and the wider community. I believe that the key to successful interactions is based on my ability to communicate clear, concise and accurate information that is focused on the objective. I adapt my language to suit conditions and never allow personal opinion or aggression to enter my communications. I maintain a sound understanding of the issues being discussed so that I am able to state facts. I continue to provide efficient and high standards of customer service to our customers, including coordinating responses to escalated customer queries. Ability to interpret and apply departmental policies and procedures when

On September 18, 2015 I interviewed Mrs. Anisha Nix at Ted’s Montana Grill in Downtown Decatur, Georgia at 5:48pm. Mrs. Nix is a Family Consultant Supervisor at the DeKalb County Child Advocacy Center. I interviewed Mrs. Nix, not only for the position that she holds but also because she did not start off with a degree in social work or sociology. Before Anisha took an interest in social services, she gained her masters in Biology from Spelman College. Once done with her undergrad Ms. Nix decided that she would pursue and ultimately gain her Masters in Social Work at Georgia State University, then continue on to become a licensed Social Worker. As the Supervisor of the Advocacy Center, it is her job to supervise the Family Consultants at the

I started my internship with the De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce in the first week of June. Beginning my internship I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had ideas about what I was going to be doing, but wasn’t sure. Whether the task was big or small I knew I wanted to contribute.

With this internship, I learned how to use my talents and skills to help others. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to experience the different aspects of the nonprofit sector. I learned about fundraising, maintained upkeep of the boutique, and interacted with clients during suitings. While I did enjoy learning more about how nonprofits operate, the part I most enjoyed was interacting with clients. In particular, what intrigued me the most was the fact that no client interaction was the same -each and every interaction captivated me and kept me on my feet.

In recent interviews conducted with five target audience members who all shop the Target brand on average once per week, all but one was a Red Card credit card holder. The fifth participant shopped at Target as often as the others, both online and retail, but cited not wanting another credit card as the reason for not having a Red Card. The other four interviewees were all familiar with the 5 percent discount on all purchases, free online shipping with no minimum purchase, and easy in-store returns. One also like the 5 percent donation Target makes to local schools of choice. None mentioned the 5 percent off for one day of shopping for every two prescriptions filled as incentive. Three of the five interviewed said that Target was their online retailer of choice, compared to the other two who stated Amazon as their preference. When asked what improvements, if any, could be made to better service customer needs, all interviewees who offered an answer mentioned website reliability and slowness as areas of concern. Due to these concerns, none participated in designer releases, Black Friday, or Cyber Monday during the past year. Of those interviewed, on average, 12 percent of their total Target shopping was done online vs. 88 percent in store. Once also stated that she would like the ability to make online purchases through the Cartwheel app.

Communication is a tremendous aspect of everyday life. The effects of positive and negative communication are imperative to making deals, providing information, and even everyday office interaction. The way people communicate with each other defines their character, especially in an office setting. Positive communication skills are appreciated and are the basis of running a successful company. Conversely, negative communication can lead to business failure, as well as poor relationships with co-workers. Three positive methods of communication are active listening, effective speaking, and confidence. Three negative methods of communication are strong reactions, providing misleading information, and the use improper communication tools. Ari

Interning at TSR I learned a lot in the fields of retail, business, and organization. Being a retail store, I learned a lot. I learned how to check products with their shipping slips

As part of the team, I don’t only ask for you to embrace my key values, but also have effective communication skills and show initiative. Effective communication is essential in being successful. Initiative builds a stronger team.

Imagine living in a house filled with grasshoppers. Courtney’s biggest fear are grasshoppers because they are creepy and nasty. I interviewed Courtney on August 31st 2016 who is student in my English 11 class. This is the first time i have met and spoke to her. While interviewing Courtney I discovered interesting things about her family life, school interests, and personal hobbies.

A business portfolio encourages an individual to concentrate on which type of writing is best for their specified targeted audience. This project focused on three particular audiences: store managers, store employees, and customers. For each audience, a different document is required. The business letter was specified for all managers. It is important to relay all of the information to them since it is their job to be fully knowledgeable and responsible to communicate with their employees. The employees received a memo. This states the facts in a more upbeat fashion, informing which changes will benefit them and inspires them to keep up the good work. Although a letter to managers and a memo to employees may cover much of the same information, managers need to know facts and tips to alleviate possible issues that could arise. Whereas memos to the employees focuses on praising their hard work while trying to keep them motivated with any positive or negative changes; especially since a cheerful and motivated employee works harder than an one that is disappointed with the changes. A mass email was sent to

I conducted 5 one-on-one interviews with students who have completed their first year in college. The idea was to find out how well they were prepared for the financial decisions that would be put before them. Unlike the general survey, the interview allowed me to ask for individual input.

I am very sad to say that my internship here at HD Supply is coming to a conclusion! As I wrap things up here, I would like to take the time to talk about some of the things that I feel are important to know. These things include: My overall summary of the experience here, my career goals, how well I was prepared for the internship based off the classes I took at Augusta University as well as suggestions for improvement with the internship.

Day 1: Had my first day today and it was very interesting. First I had an orientation where we went over general guidelines for interns at Viacom and then we signed some paperwork. Played some icebreaker games and got a crash course in all the entities that Viacom owns such as MTV, MTV2, VH1, Comedy Central, CMT, BET. After I met with JC, one of the research analysts for MTV and I got a tour of where I was working and met fellow employees and met my supervisor Mitchell. I then attended a meeting with the research, programming and creative insight teams where we discussed millennials (people aged 15-30) and their media consumption. We watched clips about certain shows that were going to be aired and whether or not millennials would watch
