That's an awesome opportunity, Jack! Very excited for everything you will experience along the way. 9/19/2018 02:49:19 pm
Hey Jack, I think it's really great that you were able to get that internship. I'm sure what you do can seem difficult or complex at times, but continue to put up the good work!

Financial situations give me headaches but the way you describe your job seems interesting. I’m glad you were able to get a good opportunity to work here and to learn for your own personal use. 9/19/2018 02:45:10 pm
At the moment I do not have internship. I've already applied to several places and I'm going to follow up within the next 24 hours to secure the position. But I did work in the summer at a daycare, feeding, helping, and attending to the needs of children daily.

Good idea to follow up with the places that you've applied to and that you're waiting on more than one business for an internship since it will increase your chances of getting a position. Hope you get the internship!

Hey Silas, It took me a while to get my internship too. I just started working this week. Hopefully one of those places you have applied will work out. Hang in there and keep trying!

My internship (job) is with Rife Construction as assistant to the office manager. The biggest part of my job other filing and auditing documents, paying invoices in the accounting system, and running bids down to the city, is taking care of Lead and Renovate Right Program (RRP) paperwork. This is when we sign on jobs that need lead work done, which I’m then required by law to organize a booklet with all Lead and RRP documentations to be available to inspectors on that job site. I got this position through my dad who is CEO of the business and was looking for an assistant to the office manager the more work the company took on. So far I enjoy this job because it gives me understanding on how a business and office space operates.

That is neat that you will be getting hands on experience in a business office. I think the Lead and Renovate Right Program sound interesting. You must have a pretty good understanding of the legal side of this. I did not even though the Lead and Renovate Right Program existed.

This is really neat because alot of internship places are very relaxed on what you can do. Being able to do work with computers and understand complex technology will help in the growing world we live in

I am currently working at a daycare where I work with infants and toddlers. While working in the infant room I feed, change and rock the babies. We must always stay on a strict schedule to make sure the babies stay happy, healthy and safe. While working with the toddlers I must always stay on my toes. The children are a lot faster then the infants and have a higher chance of hurting themselves. While both of these are a lot of work I really enjoy working with the kids and watch them grow.

Hey Emily, that sounds awesome to be working with infants and toddlers (other than messy cleanups). That can easily help prep you for something in the future that involves children.
Odalys Garcia
9/21/2018 09:34:29 am
Props to you for working with kids because toddlers can be stressful to work with. I also think it’s a great opportunity to develop leaderships skills because you need a lot of patience for that and patience is really good skill to have.

That sounds like a really fun job or internship to do. You seem to have found a great internship that may suite your interests for a career. Have fun but make sure that you or someone does head counts of all of the children to make sure no one forgets a child or loses one.
Lyndon

That sound fun and stressful but it's great your enjoying it. I feel as working with kids is almost the same with working with animal it's a lot of high maintenance.

I get to participate in activities that pertain to the book we are reading and have snacks with them. I am assisting Mrs.Boscardin with the book club.

I’m doing a management internship at Paramount Parking. I’ll basically be parking cars and learning how to manage people doing activities because I’m interested in coaching. I start Sunday and I think it will be fun because my dad said that you make a lot of money while valet parking. I think this internship will be a breeze if I just ask questions when I need to and get some help.

I am doing internships with Mr.Price with his Twitter account and every school day I tweet out a quote, a article about leadership and a activity. This will help me in my career to becoming a teacher and dealing with having to use social media. I do team managing for both basketball and football and this will help me with me handling stressful situations and dealing with multiple people. I am also doing team managing for college

For my internship I am using my own businesses. My business is a mentoring program that Creates a Positive environment where kids that are in Foster care or in a group home feel at home in an environment with their own mentors. The purpose for this program is to help students be successful throughout high school and College and the path they should take to be able to be successful !

I think it's amazing that you found a job where everyone gets along and is a positive work environment. From my own experience, some work places I have been to don't have the most positive environment which leads to not loving your job as much. I'm so glad you found a job where you enjoy going to work everyday!

My internship is through my job at Jack and Mary’s restaurant as well as Hyvee. I have been at Hyvee since October of 2016 and at Jack and Mary’s since June of 2018. Both allow me to interact with customers, take payments and ensure a good environment for the customers coming in. I’ve made great friends through both jobs and learned so much from them.
Julia Carreon

Hey there Maddie, I also work at HyVee (a different one). I know how hard it is to have two jobs so I’m really proud of you for doing that. I know you’ll be able to handle it but making time for things is the key to success. Keep up the good work!

I have made many new friends while working at Hy-Vee as well. I have always wanted a second job but I feel like its a lot of work now that its our senior year. Kudos to you that you can manage it! My internship (job) is a clerk at HyVee. I’ve been at HyVee since November of 2017. This job allows me to work on my customer assistance skills and helps me get out of my comfort zone. Through my job I have learned how to talk to people and how to approach certain situations. I do my very best to please the rich folk.

I'm doing an internship at TD2 engineering and surveying. I go out to job sites and do an erosion survey of the property making sure everything is update. I'm doing this job because I want to go into real estate. My mom helped me get the job with them. This job will show me everything I need to do before you can start building and the maintenance I need to keep up with while it's being built.

The internship I got was at Columbian Elementary. I work with the councilor there and also work with kids that need help in different classes. I have worked in the kindergarten rooms, in a 2nd grade room and in a 1st grade room. I help them with math, spelling, and reading. I also help the office in some cases if needed. I am also going to be helping with the councilors lesson plans and learn how to come up with some of the lesson plans they go through with the kids. I got my internship by contacting the guidance councilor that I am working with now. It took a little bit to get a response back from her, but she did respond back and now I am working at Columbian. My thoughts were to find a place near school that I can walk to easily and help people. I looked at the area around burke to see if there were any close schools. That is how I found Columbian

For my internship/job I worked at the Jewish Community Center(JCC) over the summer as a lifeguard and am still working there now. At my job, I got the chance to teach swim lessons, monitor pool maintenance and prevent accidents. While at this job, I also got to meet so many people and got the experience of working at a private pool which was much different from working at a city pool. Overall, I learned a lot about hard work and communicating with others. One of the things I struggled with was my shyness and being a lifeguard really helped me take charge in certain situations and also taught me how to stay in control and not to panic.

For my internship I interned at Gallup this summer as a Systems Application Developer Intern, which is a title that basically stands for web development and such. I obtained this internship through a program during the school year called GET HIP, where I was taught skills in web development and project management.
