Tim Elmore wrote an article about a bad experience one of his friends had with summer interns. He invited six college students to intern at his company and he wanted them gone by the month of June. These college students didn't get the necessary preparation for the line of work. To change the view on an internship, Tim called it a "twelve week interview." He does so because it is like a career simulator preparing you for the job you will have one day. Necessary attributes are teachability, initiative, responsibility, and energy. These talents can lead to a great experience from both the interns, and for the growing leaders that teach them. Tim's blog can be found at http://growingleaders.com/.
This applies to me because Physical Therapy is the career field I want to go into and I am going on a year long interview. I want to be able to search for what needs to be done and complete it. I also need to complete any task given to me and complete it respectfully and responsibly. If I don't learn from my mentorship than I will have nothing to apply to my career, so I will do everything necessary to give myself the best experience. Therefore, if I come into my workplace with a passion to work and the right work ethic than I think my experience will be a great one.
