Interternship Readiness

I believe the qualities of someone who is internship ready are being dependable, hardworking, and has a willingness to learn. I plan on demonstrating these abilities every single day by being on time, not only completing the work, but also having it done to the highest degree it can be done. Also I will show my boss every single day that I want to be at that particular internship. I will make it my business to approach him every day and ask “what can I learn today that will make me an asset to this company?”
The change that I will make in this module would have to be attitude and the ability to take constructive criticism in a non-feedback environment.

The Good The Bad The Ugly: Jobs

I once had a job that made me continuously walk from house to house, in the blazing heat, and try and sell 1300 dollar vacuum cleaners. People used to slam   the door in my face all the time. I went out one day and this older white lady sacked her canine on one of my coworkers. The dog mauled her foot up. That was my last day at work. I once had another job at the Valero gas station and that was a cool job. I really got to get to know everybody in Fairfield. It was a cool experience because I was in high school and I was one of the only people who had a job at the time.
