The truth is, I've never fooled anyone, I've always let them fool themselves, they didn't bother to find out who I really was instead they would invent a character for me. They were obviously loving & hating someone I wasn't.

I'm Ready !

The technical skills that I acquired at Year will certainly bring value to the company I will be interning for. I'm capable of producing plenty of documents in Microsoft suite, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and Word. I am qualified for the position because I can install a motherboard, optical drive, and video card components. I will show that I have enhanced network connectivity skills by determining IP address and connecting multiple computers to the network.

At my internship the soft skills I would like to develop are being able to interact with people in a more conservative professional manner. Being able to comprehend information at a fast pace will help develop a better overall understanding of any company. The hard skills I want to gain at my internship are more training in the technology field.

At my internship I plan to prove every day that I’m dependable by showing up early and leaving late to show I’m dedicated to the position. My personality will prove that I’m a positive person, I will be cheerful and eager to do every assignment/task I receive. Even if I’m doing an assignment if another co-worker needs my help I will be willing to help to show that I’m a team player.

After my internship I plan to look for another Internship in the technology field because the pay is a wonderful wage to assist with my education. I plan to attend Merritt Community College in Oakland, there I will complete my 60 units and graduate with my AA so I can transfer to Cal State Fullerton University.

        2.      Never shun a chance to learn more about the company/industry.
        o Never seem  tired in a meeting/presentation of the company because that will leave a bad impression on the colleagues you work with. Since you’re the intern in the office you should always want to look engaged in any conversation that’s work related because you never know what information you could be missing out on if you’re not paying attention or just not being an active listener. 
        3.      Set Personal Goals.
        o I will set personal goals for myself each day to make sure I polish my growth areas each morning when I arrive to work I will show up with a new better prospective to ensure I’m getting the most out of my internship.

        o Being proactive about every assignment you do, no matter what the task is give it your all.
        7.      Network, Network, Network.
        o I will build professional relationships with the colleagues I work with to overall expand my network. I will make the best out of each experience with the groups I work in to ensure I don't burn any bridges because one day it could come back and hurt me.
        8.      Ask Questions.
        o Asking questions is a wonderful way to show you’re concerned about each and every topic, also just to make the clarity of the task more understandable. 
        9.      Get as much exposure as possible.

        11.  Find a mentor/role model.
        I have several of mentors and that reason is because a learning experience never ends I believe I could learn special qualities from several people, and that’s why I will never just be satisfied with just one mentor. 
        12.  Enjoy Yourself.
        Your personality is an enormous reflection on the energy you bring in the office you can turn a co-workers frown upside down with a cheerful “Smile and Hello Good morning”.
