Excited About Internship

In two weeks I will be leaving the comfort of the Learning and Development phase of Year Up and transitioning into my intern position. I am overwhelmed with a plethora of emotions; excitement, anxiety, nervousness, but most of all eagerness. I am confident that the Internship Team has taken their time in selecting a great corporate company that I will be able to succeed in. I'm assuming that since my strong skills are generally communications related I will be placed in a position in which I can show those skills. I think the first skills I will use, and am ready to use are my professional skills. I am confident that I will approach my manager or team lead with a ready handshake and smile. I will be dressed in professional attire, ready to dominate my role. I am looking forward to using some of the tech skills I learned. I am strong in Microsoft Word and Excel so hopefully I will have some projects in which I will utilize those skills. My anxiety is mostly stemmed from the fact that I'm not sure where I will be going, but the not knowing is also exciting. I am hoping the work environment I am in is friendly, full of positive attitudes, as well as professional. I must admit that I am a tad bit nervous about being placed in a position where I would have to rely heavily on my tech skills, only because I know that I am stronger at my soft skills. I will be willing to learn and do anything asked of me, and will be asking plenty of questions. I know that if I remain confident in myself and remind myself that if I can make it this far then I'll make it through internship with no problem. My goal is to get hired through the company that I intern for, however I am aware that even if I am not hired, just having the experience is good enough for me. I am so thankful for this opportunity and am eager to dive right in to my new role, wherever and whatever it is!

About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog. If you havn't already guessed my name is Dejanae. I am a college student at Year Up Bay Area, studying Buisness Communications and IT Technology. I enjoy reading, writing, social networking, shopping, eating out, and USING MY IMAGINATION. This is my first time blogging. I am finding that I actually enjoy it quite a bit. I have my instructor to thank for my newfound interest. He decided it would be good practice for our class to become familiar with every aspect of communicating in corparate america. Sounds a little boring right? At least that's what I thought at first,it wasn't until I realized we would be able to share our thoughts, views, and experiences using topic based discussions, and creative writng skills. Anyways, back to telling you about myself. I consider myself to be outgoing, intelligent, silly, happy, and insightful. I love people, watching people, talking to people, hearing other's stories. I live by the motto don't judge a book by it's cover. Long story short, I am an open minded, understanding, confident, young black women. I hope you enjoy hearing reading my thoughts!
