Internship Readiness

For this module I plan to improve on the characteristics I haven't displayed. My evaluation said that I needed to stop side talking and participate more in class. At times I tend to not pay attention when I'm not engaging in the disscusion that is happening in class which is where I began to joke and side talk. I have sat down and made a plan on asking questions when I am unclear about something in class. I also plan to work on slant so I will appear engaged in the instructor is presenting at the time. One thing I noticed about my growth areas is that at times when I'm not engaged in the conversations it can come off as I don't care about what they have to say and that is not the impression

My best work experience

The best job I had was when I worked with the community of opportunities. Every day we had a different job assignment and every job we did was based on getting the community involved. I had one other person I worked who had a very difference in opinion than I did and I was very weird. The problem of us having a difference in the way we viewed life was really simple, I wanted to be rich and he really didn’t care for famous people and expensive cars. We did good work together and it slightly over shadowed what we worked on so it wasn't bad. Our bosses like the way we showed up to work on time and did every thing we were asked to do and sometimes more. We had two main bosses Mr. Green and Mr. Angelou. They had very different personalities Mr. Green was a retried war vetran who had a very distinctive way of communicating something to us. He would tell us stories about war and his experiences in other countries. Mr. Angelou was a family man who would sometimes bring his children by the office. What I can say about both of the is that enjoyed having us as employees around the office. The job lasted through the summer of 2009, the fact that is seemed to go by so fast was a little discouraging. For the final week of us working on the job they took us out to eat and bought us really nice suits. The suits they gave us were about $500 a piece and that was a discount to what they really would have costed. In conclusion, the job taught me to get along with people and make it work when it seems that it may not.
