1) Did you meet your goals?
Of course I meet my goals. I spread my knowledge in the Accounting site. I can identify the an Accountant staff and what things are involve with them.
2) What are the most important things you’ve learned?
The most important thing that I learned was work with QuickBook and work with client accounts (editing and change the classes). Also go to Post Office and send envelopes to different part of the United States and go to the bank and deposit checks and prepare check and put together with bills and email them. Also go to FedEx. In addition, make payment bills and do checks and print it.
3) In what ways have your grown?
I think I'm growing in ask question when I'm undecide and hesitating. Also I'm trying to take notes when I have to. And I'm growing listen better when people try to explain something and learn new vocabulary words for my english.
4) What were the highlights of your internship experience?
The highlights are that now I can speak better and without scare to the people and ask question when I'm hisitating. I'm learning to take notes for remaind the steps for find documents, account, QuickBooks or any others staff.
5) If you can, describe a memorable moment or experience.
A memorable day was when finally I passed the hard and difficult check to prepare from different clients. Ms. Linda was proud of me. Also this same day I worked very nice, organized and I didn't missed any work this day. I felt proud of me, and enthusiastic for be an Accountant.
6) What challenges did you overcome?
Something that I overcome is know where is each staff that I use every single day and not ask each second where is the envelopes? where is the paper click? where is the direction of the ....??? Also another thing that I overcome is when she tell me what I have to do, she don't have to explain over threw like before.
7) What advice would you give a new intern at this site?
Sincerely, I advice these students from next year that will be doing internship is that take this seriously, never give up, try to do the best, be puntual, don't be selfish, try to be always nice, enjoy your job, demotrate interest and motivation, don't be scare and leave the childhood behind you because is not a game, it's a professional job where you'll learn some professional skills. Also take notes and try to not make any mistakes.
8) What will you miss about your internship?
Something I will miss is go to the bank almost every day to deposit checks because this is a rutine that I have to do, so I will miss this. "When you do something everyday, when this thing you not do it, you miss it". Also they know me already (the commerce bank staff).
