Throughout this internship I am learning that working remotely has its challenges. It sometimes takes longer to get a response or even that you feel like you aren’t doing enough work. I think that from this I have learned that I would prefer to work in an office with this type of work. I think that in person work would allow for a closer connection with clients and would allow for work to be done faster. Even though I am shy, I would prefer working in person because it would give me the option to get comfortable in a new environment. I often like to push myself out of my comfort zone because it allows for growth.
During the internship I have struggled with the structure of it all. I am a person that likes deadlines and structure when it comes to work; and this internship has given me a lot of freedom. This freedom is a good thing because I can do things on my own time, but I would prefer more structure to it. I am doing well though because I give myself the structure I need by creating deadlines for myself. Even though I struggled with the structure I think I have done a good job adapting to it because I know that not all jobs are going to give me the structure that I need. So I found a way to kind of create it for myself. I am surprised that I have been able to create this for myself and sort of stay on track with all the work I have been doing. I think me being super organized has paid off because I created this system that works for me.
I am trying to make the best of this internship by reaching out to other interns working in the same organization and keeping in touch with my supervisor. By keeping touch I try to ask for more work or even ask questions in order to keep myself actively doing work. I even hope to work more with CCDN after this internship is over.
