Grow my professional network
This is my top goal because through networking I can try my best to make contacts and work for anyone I may desire in the future. “Its not about what you know its about who you know,” as I have been told this quote 1000 times since I have started working, its about the people you know who could recommend you for jobs you may otherwise be looked over for. In this internship ran by Ray Shivley, he is a network genius when is comes to purposing companies and individuals to use their website app, Rewards for Healthy Living. I am looking forward to doing more community events with this internship getting to know the people Ray does and hopefully increasing my networking.
Increase my work skills
This is another goal I would love to prioritize. Most of the jobs I have been a part of have been simple high school or college jobs. Doing classes like this and doing an internship have already sharpened some of my work skills, but I am participating in more in-depth work already in my internship that I know will help me in the future. Other opportunities may be looking for skills that I will need to perfect and work on thorough this internship.
Improve my work-life balance
I would say I have decent time management skills, but I definitely have room to improve. As for work- life balance I would agree that I could do better. This summer I have undertaken a job, an internship, an internship course, another summer course, and life activities. I am managing to balance it for now but I feel the balance shifting much more towards work. I will continue to improve and improve my work-life balance by making my time efficient with the things I do.
