Well, it was a long and difficult road to find one, but my internship take place at Aflac in Pearl River. Aflac is a supplementary insurance company, which means that Aflac covers expense for individuals and groups to help pay benefits that major insurance doesn't cover like outpatient hospital treatment, skilled nursing care, etc. The position is that I've applied to is the sales internship position, where I have to learn about Health and life insurance, take some study courses, take a pre-licensing in Middletown, NY, and then spend $40 to take a state exam in Fairlawn, NJ before I can start selling to other people. It seems like a long and difficult road ahead of me, but I think I can do it.

The main task of my internship was to gain more experience and knowledge of our respective field. Overall, the experience proved to be both enjoyable and rewarding. During this internship I used the skills that I learned from my Medical Assistant class and used them in the real world scenarios at the hospital. Also while I there I was exposed to new experiences. Such as performing Urine test on Drug and alcohol patients. For this procedure I had to stand in the restroom with the patient's and watch them urinate into a cup. I had to stand in the restroom with the patients because in the past they try and cheat the system. For example

This was great because you’re able to get a taste of everything the office does. During National Work & Family Month, I worked with the Media manager to create brochures, send out press releases, call and invite various medias within D.C., set up the room, check-in guests and panelists and then send out thank you emails to participants. For this event, I also assisted the Public Affairs Manager with the paid twitter campaign for this year. This included creating tweets covering workplace topics and searching for illustrations. I was assigned to research the best times and days to send out tweets in order to reach the largest audience. I worked mostly with the Public Affairs manager writing pieces relating the bills such as the CEO pay ratio, Cadillac Tax, increasing the minimum wage, and various FLSA issues. These were then published in the organizations monthly “Workspan”. I was also able to research and write about SCOTUS cases having to do with the workplace. The biggest pro of this internship was the amount of feedback and practice I was able to do with my writing. Apart from writing, I even got to attend an oral argument. I was able to work with lobbyist on creating and updating a map that shows every state’s minimum wage, and any future

The situation that brought me from my first internship to the second one was frustrating and difficult. Nonetheless, it provided me with beneficial learning experiences for my career and life in general. One of the silver linings of interning at these two considerably different internship experiences was increasing my knowledge of two different types of business. The first of these areas was in the Non-Profit organization at PACS, where their mission is to empower individuals who are struggling. The nonprofit industry has always deeply interested me, and what I learned at PACS only fueled that interest. The time I spent at PACS was brief and ended abruptly. Nonetheless, I learned valuable and significant information and gained an understanding of the various business characteristics that are essential in nonprofit organizations.

In high school, I interned with the same physical therapist that helped me recover after my injury. This internship helped me explore the different careers in the medical field as well as teach me about patient care. I also interned at my local hospital working in the pathology lab where I got to study blood and urine samples. This was one of the most interesting internships because it let me see what happens behind the scenes of our daily lives and how things work at the cellular level. Because of those internships, I am able to make connections from the classroom to those experiences allowing for a better understanding of the material

This summer, I had the pleasure of interning at Fortress Bank, previously known as First State Bank of Illinois, at the branch in Monmouth Illinois. The internship surrounded topics that correlated with my international business degree. I gained first hand experience with everything from financial regulations to loans.

The primary responsibility of a sales manager is to direct the sales team.

During internship, the opportunity to get new knowledge is everywhere, which includes knowing how to fulfil task relevant to my desired career path and I can become better by spending time to sharpening and honing my skills during the internship.
