"Fin@L Intership Reflection"

MyHotComments.com


Well i think that i did meet my goals because all i wanted was to get an experience of what its like to have a real job (like being in an office for the whole day) and also get in contact with professional people. The most important thing i have learned is how to communicate with others and being able to offer them my help (like helping them with anything they need such as making copies or printing some files). I have improved a lot my English i mean the way of speaking and how to follow directions.

What were the highlights of your internship experience?
One of the most memorable moments at my internship to me was the last day, almost everyone from the office went to lunch including my mentor William, Jennifer and me. It was really fun we went to eat Italian food, we all sat down on a table and talk about a lot of different stuff such as the SAT like of of them took the test more than 2 times, it was a great experience because i never got to seat down and talk to them about stuff until this day. My biggest challenge was staying focus, because sometimes it was so quiet and there was no one to talk to but Jenifer so, when we had to an asingment in the computer i use to go on myspace while doing my job. The advice i would give to a new intern at this site is that the people who work there are very respectful and cool in certain ways, so you also have to show respect, don't be distracting others while they are working because they usually have a lot of work to do. What i'll miss the most about my internship is the people that work there

Assingment after break 5/ 5/ 08 "old and new things"

Two new things that i have done this and last week are delivering some files to the empire state that is like 10 blocks way from the office. Man! it was so fun on my way there, i was window shopping with jennifer. The funny thing is that we were standing right in front of the building but we didnt know until i asked someone.When we got inside the building man! there was so many elevators and we got lost. But we found our way out though.

The other new project i started on is, looking and verifying the address and phone number of each organization that helps immigrants. Also i had to call to all of those organizations to verify the address and the programs or what do they have to offer immigrants.


Something old that i usually do is making copies of different files, when there is a meeting.
