Internship readiness

Someone who is internship ready is well mannered. They also understand when to be professional and how to dress professionally. A internship ready person knows their position,meaning they're internship is a interview; they are there to please and show initiative. Another quality is being able to listen and follow directions as told. They also put 100% in all the work they are assigned to.
In module 3 I plan to begin making sure I show the best internship readiness qualities as possible. I plan to make sure I am in class with 3 minutes or more to spare. In addition, being prepared once I take my seat with all my materials out is another task I will be doing. Another way I plan to demonstrate internship readiness is by controlling and reducing my talking in class .

Best and Worst Jobs of my Life

The best job Ive ever had, would have been when I worked for management corporation. Bellamy management corporation is an government contracted business that helps manage a section of the FAA. The job is located in Washington, DC where I was an IT intern. While working there I learned a lot more about computers and computer networking, which is one of the main reasons I say this was my best job Ive ever had. I sat around on a computer all day and managed the networks while cleaning of other employees computers and keeping the computers safe from virus. The best thing about working for the government was having an government badge which allowed me access to all the government managed buildings in Washington,DC with no problems or hassles. Working for the Bellamy management team also helped me network with very important people from different places throughout the world, with various job types and titles. Byfar working for the government is the best job to ever obtain.
The worst job Ive ever had, was working for my uncle in Hayward as the lead supervisor of custodial at Heald college. Working for, or with your family never works out the way you would suspect. I rarely did labor, but the times I did have to clean were the worst days of my life. Cleaning after other peoples messes in the classrooms and there bathrooms. Even being the supervisor was horrible, because the other employees rarely wanted to listen or do the duty correctly which lead me to firing quite a few people, especially when they acted as if I was INFERIOR to them. With my extended work resume I now have a feel for what I want to do in life.
