...Field Study Journal #5 The last week of my internship has been a very busy and at times stressful week. Two of the current interns are leaving the company, including myself, and two new interns are joining the company. Most people might envision their last week at a job as being very laid back and relaxing with not much work being done. My last week has been a very hectic and busy week compared to what most people imagine. One of the new interns began working less than two weeks ago and I find myself spending a significant amount of time helping him settle in. I have several responsibilities in helping him prepare for our busy season which is less than two months away. Everyone who works within the Risk Advisory Services department must learn to input his or her time into both programs that we use. The first program is called ‘Kronos’ which is simply used to log how many hours an individual worked in a given week. The purpose of the second program that we use is to allocate the amount of time worked on each project. By tracking everyone’s hours per project, management can use this information to assist them in planning the audits in the following year. Another important piece of information that I was able to share with the new intern was related to communication with all of the different business process owners. Most of the requests that must be made for testing support are made by interns. I spent nearly thirty minutes with the new intern showing him how to properly send a...

...Goal Inventory Assignment In ten years, I want to be working in the human resources department at Texas Instruments. I specifically want to be an HR Business Generalist because it is more closely tied to the business and business strategy at Texas Instruments than some of the other human resources jobs there are. This position seems like it would be a great fit for me because I am extremely interested in the business strategy of a company and how the people working for the company can directly influence how successful a business is. I want to be in Dallas, Texas at Texas Instruments’ main office where I can get the most enriching experience. However, after I have learned as much as I can at the Dallas office and when I am comfortable with my position, I want to move to the Houston office because Houston is where I grew up and it is where I want to raise a family. In five year, I want to be working in the human resources department at Texas Instruments. I want to start out in their Compensation position within the HR department. My major is in accounting and I like to work with numbers, so I believe the Compensation position would be a good starting point for me. I have also been advised that this position is a great HR position to begin with, especially if you want to work your way to the HR Business Generalist position, because you learn a lot about the company and their financing. I would like to be in the Dallas office, because this is Texas Instrument’s main office...

...The Case of Unpaid Internship An internship is a great opportunity for students to gain practical work experience. Typically, schools require internship credits for a student to graduate and it is a prerequisite to landing a job. It can be an excellent time for a student to apply his or her theoretical knowledge in the desired field, or to see if it is a career path that they might want to stay in. Internship provides an opportunity for a student to experience the things that he or she had learned inside the four corners of his or her classroom in a real life setting. Depending on the company that they had chosen for their internship, interns do various tasks such as running errands, administrative work, and even considerable contributions...

...If I could choose one thing that I would like NSCS help me achieve then I would choose that to be obtaining an internship. I believe that internships are a crucial factor to getting students the real world experience that many college students lack coming out of graduation. Most students will get to do an internship but it may not be in the field that they would like to begin a career in. Even then it isn’t pointless but I think they could have put their time into an internship where they felt like they had something to work for or had something to prove. If I had an internship in the field that I one day planned to someday land a career in I would work my hardest every day to prove to the employer that I have what it takes and that I am willing to make sacrifices for the betterment of the company. Internships can help break the loop of college students having no experience because they can’t get a job because they have no experience. NSCS could be a tremendous help to all the chapters around the nation by providing events such as private career fairs, mixers, and different social events that will get students that face to face contact with employers. Being that the members of NSCS are nationally recognized most companies wouldn’t hesitate to give us a chance to prove ourselves in an internship opportunity. This is just one of the many ways that NSCS could help out all of its members across America and I’m sure that there are plenty of others that would agree with my idea. Working...

The banking institution offers a summer internship to bright and driven individuals. The internship includes 14 weeks of very intense training and long hours. Interns are paid $20,000 for the contract. During the screening process, out of all the possible candidates Audrey Locke was selected. Audrey has some experience as an assistant, assurance analyst and financial planning analyst. Brussels and Bradshaw is operating in more than 25 countries globally; this case study takes place in Toronto.

Working 70 and 80 hours per week or possibly 120 hours will put a major burden on anyone, especially someone new to the working environment. Audrey is excited with her internship and very eager to learn. She is assigned a mentor and buddy by the business development manager, Kelly Richards. Kelly has 10 years of experience. Although associates consider her human resources, Kelly’s job is strictly administrative. Audrey is never introduced to her mentor and her buddy, Christine Page is very helpful and encouraging.

...information or computer science field would not get me far without experience. I applied for the Optimum program so that I could participate in a series of STEM career oriented seminars and workshops that helped me build my brand and learn the importance of internships. During one of these seminars I learned about the INROADS program, a non profit organization that places minorities into internships at a corporate level. I participated in this program and I was taught how to interview and given several mock interviews. Once I completed all of these interviews I passed onto the corporate interview phase where I interview with major companies like IBM and AT&T. During the interviews I learned about both positions and at the time, Project Management/Frond End Developer and Software Engineer both sounded like good positions. I know long term I wanted to do something with mobile application development so the contribution of both positions would put me closer to my goals. After my interview I was offered positions at both companies so of course I had to decide between the two. With a five day grace period a decision had to be made quickly. Being a Software Engineer would provide me with the skills I needed to do mobile application development on the back end, in other words, “coding”. The role of a Front End Developer or Project Manager would assist me in developing the user interface or user experience of mobile applications. It would also help me learn the different methodologies...

...AFS Internship Short Answer Questions 1) In general, what do you think the activities of an intern should be? (Remember: this is NOT a production internship. Through my work as an intern at other film companies, the usual activities I performed included answering phone calls, organizing files, and helping out wherever else I was needed whether in the office or on location. I think the main goal of an intern is to just be helpful. Tasks can range from inconsequential to high magnitude, but both are important in order to make a company run smoothly. 2) What makes you stand out as a great candidate for this position? After my first year of college as a film major and working as a film production intern for a non-profit arts company, I have...
