I love B&B because of the people and the various career tracks you could take. I always tell myself, "Alyssa, if you don't like something then change it". In general I'm getting into the groove of things and enjoying myself more and more. If you're just entering the workplace give yourself a month to get adjusted. A point will come where you start enjoying it --hopefully. But, I was always so busy in college and working on various projects and I miss that. So! I went to our CRO and asked if I could do some work on the internship program! I am going to conduct exit interviews with the interns so that I can find ways to improve the program and hopefully increase our intern to hire ratio. I am SO EXCITED!!! Last fall I was thinking I wanted to work in higher ed but then decided it was too political and I didn't want to get a masters right away. So this opportunity could grow into something more within the company and I could fulfill my goal of working with college students and a company! Plus, I feel like this will help the company get more bang for it's buck and potentially get more interested candidates from the get-go. The past few years they hired 1 out of 4 or 5 interns. This year they hired 2 out of 6 so I think I can bring that up for next year.
My strengths from StrenghtsFinder 2.0 are Strategic, Maximizer, Adaptability, Input and Achiever. So I think this opportunity allows me to utilize all of my strengths and build them up.
Ahhhh! I'm just so ready and grateful that they are letting me pursue this.
Anyways, just wanted to share. My boss is out on vacation so I am awaiting a task that my coworker is setting up for me.
Have a wonderful day! Thanks for reading!
Much love,
Alyssa
P.S! I am up to 280 views from 72 yesterday, which completely floors me! Thanks for your overwhelming support. If you have a blog I'd love to read it! I love seeing what is going in people's lives and Facebook doesn't do the best job of allowing us to connect on a deeper level.
