Personal Narrative: My Last Week Of Internship

This week is my last week of internship in the national company. This was very effective internship in term of skills and knowledge that it gave to me. The most interesting and exciting day was my first day, when I was reading the documentations and was given the first tasks. This year, once again I understood that what we learn in the classroom has a big difference with what we face in the real work place. However, these differences made internship a lot more though provoking and involving, because real data and real numbers are more interesting and more difficult to follow and examine than those in books. I learned a lot about the company, for instance how subsidiaries operate and what the functions of financial block of the company are.

Also, it helps me experience real activity in the company, instills the skills of teamwork, discipline, responsibility and attention. Now I know which areas I don’t want to work in and aware of the necessary competencies for the job. Also, internship shaped my perception of working in the financial departments, and helped me to compare this year and last year experience, which helped me in making decision about my future career and studies. Moreover, this work experience helped me to believe in my own strength and knowledge. The best thing about this internship is the people with whom I met. They shared their experiences, pointing out my mistakes, gave feedback. In addition, communicating with them, gave me hint about characteristics you need to have to get to a particular position. This summer job did not change my life, but it helped me to understand that I really want whether I will be comfortable in this environment and whether it is necessary to develop further in this direction. I felt myself pretty comfortable, when it comes to face deadlines, making reports, analysis and researches and I think, University made us more competitive and stress resistant, which helped a lot on
