Internship Thoughts
Hello, Hello! So I just want to share a few thoughts about this new internship I am doing this summer. So, on May 16th I started working in my first internship opportunity and experience at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
In a nutshell, I have to say it is a very interesting and awesome place to be at. Everything from being at Chicago every day, to the people I have met and the projects that I have been involved with have been all contributed to some of the many pleasures of being apart of the team!
Coming from my own business and previous work experience, I was not sure what to expect. I remember on my first day that I was imagining what I would be doing and asking myself, will I have my own office? will I be standing all the time? The moment I arrived and checked in through security, the feeling of being welcomed was like that warm fuzzy feeling (lol). Everyone is so nice and pleasant to be around and I got to meet a few other interns that were also starting the same day. If you think the building from the outside is pretty neat, the inside is awesome! Of course, all of these small details excite me (even today) because I have never worked in that type of environment.
If you don't know me well enough, then know this. I rarely wear jeans and tennis shoes, and I love the whole dress up, nice shoes and tie type of style. I felt like I was somebody (haha). Anyways, so our recruiters arrived and took us all on the elevator to drop us off in our location. Mine was the last one, located on the 12th floor where the Customer Relations and Support Office department is located. I met with my manager and walked around introducing me to our team and many other people in the department. I was then escorted to my cubicle and received my work laptop and was preparing myself to get settled in.
To make long story short, it has been nearly a month since I started working there and already I feel like I have learned a lot. I have met some awesome people there that I hope I will be able to keep in touch with even after my internship ends in August. Anyways, thats my little rant for the day.
