I can’t believe that these internships are actually called internships! I mean, I can’t believe that the business college would give out these jobs to people who aren’t actually working for a living. The only reason I’m not officially fired is because one of these guys is my roommate. But seriously, the “not working for a living” thing is a serious issue.
At least in this case, one of the interns is someone I already know, so there’s that.
I’d like to just say that I really, really like the internship program here at UT! I feel like I’m really getting the best of both worlds here. I get to work with amazing people and they love me for it. Even though they don’t pay me, I still get to work with amazing people.
I think a lot of us who have worked at various startups also feel the same way. But the good news is that UT’s internship program offers a great opportunity for you to get a taste of what corporate life is like. You can get a taste of how much fun you’ll have (and how much stress you’ll be dealing with) getting to know people, and how much you’ll learn about the corporate culture.
It’s also the perfect time to get a jump on building your resume. In just a few short weeks (and days) youll be spending time with UTs interns, taking notes on what they do, what they think, and what they wish they would have known back in the day. And you’ll also get a chance to meet a bunch of fun and amazing people at UTs.
It’s definitely possible to be so distracted by your work that you miss the big picture. After all, you’re just another intern sitting in a cubicle, typing away. And while you can’t do everything, it’s still possible to be a little more proactive. Here’s my advice: if you want to get a full-time job you need to figure out what your career goals are. Start by figuring out how much money you’d like to make.
The most important part of a business intern position is making a list of what you want to do when you grow up. And while its true that you may not get paid for your work, you still want to be able to live a decent life and support yourself. You also want to be able to say to your parents “I want to go to UTs.” And you want to be able to say to your friends “I want to go to UTs.
My current internship is with a startup but I’m very excited about what I’m going to get to do with it. I’m going to be working on a product that will help people with disabilities by having a phone that can’t be turned off or put on vibrate. I’m really excited about this opportunity so I’m looking forward to working hard for this company.
It seems like a lot of people are worried about what they want to do when they grow up. We all want to be either a lawyer or doctor. Or a chef or a doctor. Or, well, most of us want to be someone. And if you want something to do, the hard part is figuring out what you want to do.
There’s a lot to keep in mind when it comes to your life’s passion. It takes a lot of hard work and perseverance to find your niche. I think it is important to look at where you want to end up and whether you can do something in that area or not. If you can’t, it’s okay to move on. That’s what we’ve done for the past four years.
