Intern-al Affairs


I love being an intern. I enjoy being busy. I love my work...but sometimes I wish that I was a permanent employee with a salary at the end of the month. It is hard maintaining your motivation when you know that this position has no future. But I do know that it will equip me with the skills that I need to continue in my career and that keeps me going.

The future itself is a scary prospect. What will happen to me? Where will I go next? Where should I apply? What position would be the best fit? Where will I learn the most? Who is the best employer out there?

I have a lot to offer and I am an asset to any organisation because I am talented, dedicated, I work hard, and I get the job done. I am reliable, I don't need much supervision (aka I take initiative and work well with others or on my own) I am deadline orientated, creative (innovative and artistic), and adept with computers.

I work really hard and I try my best. While my past work experience may not have been with the most prestigious of companies....they paid my bills. The jobs financed my life. I did not have parents who could afford to provide me with the opportunities that some could. But they tried their best. They gave me more than they could afford and I used those opportunities to the best of my ability.
Furthermore, I am trying to gain degree relevant professional experience. IT is hard because most places are aimed at current students....not graduates. It is hard being a recent graduate and I am lucky to have the position that I currently do. But I have to constantly consider the future and apply! apply! Apply!

Personally, I consider myself a mature, capable, independent, intelligent and self motivated individual. I constantly learn, adapt, grow both as an individual and professionally. I try my best to be the person I am. I try my best to the employee I would want if I was hiring.

So, watch out world...here I come. Professional, organized and with a plan! *insert evil grin*
