The technical skills I have picked up at year up that would
add value to my internship would be the methods we can take to troubleshoot a
computer (entering the task manager and msconfig) to identify errors in
drivers. We also learned how to used restore points and reimaging methods to take
the computer back to a workable condition.
I believe some of my best work comes from a supportive
manager who doesn’t expect less from me. His support comes from checking in
with me on a week to bi-weekly basis. I would like to have an individual that
keeps me busy with productive work. I strongly believe that as an intern we
should take responsibility for our own learning, and therefore we should not
rely on the boss. The soft skill that I believe will serve me is my eagerness
to learn and take initiative when it comes to asking for help.
An anxiety that I keep replaying in my head is not meeting
the manager’s expectations when it comes to completing tasks. Another area I
would like to work in is my networking skills; I don’t want to miss out from opportunities
due to the fear of not being good enough.
I plan to show up an hour before my scheduling time, and if
possible stay later. On my time out of
work I will learn more about the computers, software, games and mobile devices
the company uses. I will approach people in different departments and try to
see if I could shadow them, or offer my help in their work (such as giving my
input or finding bugs some of the games). In regards to physically standing
out, I will continue to wear my professional clothing, be well groomed, and be well-rested
everyday in order to be ready.
I like most students at Year Up would like to be a great
employee candidate for the company we are interning for. Whether or not it
works out, I would like to go back to school and get a degree in social work. I
also plan to use the skills I picked up at YU and Zynga help motivate people
with little means through volunteer work.
