The two things that I'm best at and got 5s on were being punctual and having a good attendance record. I think that these two things go together and it's hard to have one without the other. I think I scored high on these because I always show up to work and I get my hours in every week. One of my weaknesses at work is being organized, I do think that I've gotten better at it through the year, but it's still one of my weaknesses. I usually have a lot of paper on my desk because I'm a visual learner so I need to print a lot out. I'm also kind of a paper hoarder so I have a shelf that's full of papers that I probably don't need anymore. Before I start working full time I'm going to try to go through that shelf.
Something that I think that I do well is "She completes tasks thoroughly." I believe I do this really well because I always look over my projects to make sure they are right before I let my boss see them. I'm also kind of a perfectionist so I'm very particular about what I'm doing and I make sure it's very neat. Something I can work on is "She is organized at work." I kind of struggle with this because I always have papers all over my desk. Every Friday I try to go through my desk and throw away things I don't need and organize the other stuff. I should do this more often because sometimes my desk looks like a mess.
This week I read an article about the importance of an intern in the office. I believe that an internship should be required to graduate. I think my internship has been such a great learning experience for me. It can also help students who are unsure if they want to go into a career field make a decision. I know that there are students in this class that have decided that they do not like their internships so it's good that they learned this now not after they spent thousands on a college education. Even though I am a help to my work, I think my internship is more of a learning experience. There are many times that my coworkers sit down with me and teach me to do things that would not have taken them long to do themselves. I'm glad my internship is like this and not just making copies or filing papers.
