My internship in Boston: Week 11~ Learning about myself

Dear readers,

It feels like I haven't talked to you in a long time even though I posted my last blog just over 2 weeks ago. An I have to say that those 2 weeks have been busy.

Over the past couple of weeks I have been turning in projects I have been working on over the first quarter and I was assigned new ones too. The past two weeks have been personally rewarding as I was able to see a positive outcome from my work, research and outreach to employers in locations around the globe! And I have to say that I had a satisfactory feeling on that days. I have also been presenting the Global co-op program to different groups of students and been interacting a lot with them, and I believe that through that I have confidence and I have been able to acknowledge and strengthen some of my public speaking skills.

As I have been telling over the last couple of blogs and Vlogs, I am responsible for the Global Co-op Networking Fair at Northeastern, and planning a large student event, is something that requires a lot a logistic, thinking and interactions with different department of the university. I am happy to report that so far the planning of the event is going according to plan. I am really excited about running the event this Thursday and see what I have created along with a some other co-workers.

The start of the term as also seen new student workers start in the department, I was in charge in some of the training as well as being available to answer some of the questions they may have. The start of the term is also leading to an increase pace at the career services front desk as more and more students are wanting there resume checked and are getting ready for the career fair coming up really soon.

I have been given a lot of responsibilities and special projects to undertake over the next couple of months, I will be in charge of creating a promotional video for the Global Employer Relations team as well as creating a video of Career Fair.

As I previously mentioned, I have been developing and strengthen my organizationals, events and time management skills tested out more but also showed me that I like to work in a fast paced environment. I however think that it will challenge me as I sometime find that intensive situation stress me. I think that I will learn more about my management skills and capability to meet deadlines and targets in an office environment.
