...Goal Inventory Assignment In ten years, I want to be working in the human resources department at Texas Instruments. I specifically want to be an HR Business Generalist because it is more closely tied to the business and business strategy at Texas Instruments than some of the other human resources jobs there are. This position seems like it would be a great fit for me because I am extremely interested in the business strategy of a company and how the people working for the company can directly influence how successful a business is. I want to be in Dallas, Texas at Texas Instruments’ main office where I can get the most enriching experience. However, after I have learned as much as I can at the Dallas office and when I am comfortable with my position, I want to move to the Houston office because Houston is where I grew up and it is where I want to raise a family. In five year, I want to be working in the human resources department at Texas Instruments. I want to start out in their Compensation position within the HR department. My major is in accounting and I like to work with numbers, so I believe the Compensation position would be a good starting point for me. I have also been advised that this position is a great HR position to begin with, especially if you want to work your way to the HR Business Generalist position, because you learn a lot about the company and their financing. I would like to be in the Dallas office, because this is Texas Instrument’s main office...

...Organizational Behavior Audrey Locke is a summer intern for a very successful North American company of Brussels and Bradshaw Investment Bank. As it seems in most organizations, the new guy, or girl in this case, is often subject to treatment that can be misunderstood as abusive. Those that are in positions within an organization see this as ‘weeding out the week’. From the view point of Audrey and other past interns, it can be seen as unnecessary and disheartening. For those that are intent on making a future in investments, it seems that you are going to have to learn how to adjust. In fact, Blake Cooper, one of the managing partners of the Toronto Office with Audrey is performing her internship at stated “We cannot afford to get soft on our people by listening to analysts whine and complain about each other. Once you start, where does it stop? They’ll figure out how to get along on their own if you let them. These are professionals. We are all here to make money and the only way to make money in this business is to work together. Those that want to get ahead will recognize that – and those are the people we want at Brussels and Bradshaw.” (Hitt, Miller, Colella, 2011) Issues and Recommendations It seems that this situation of being stepped on is not going to change. Since this seems to be a companywide pandemic, it is going to take a ton of pressure from the top and directive to stay on course to change the fact that summer interns are the workhorses for the office space....

...tests each office conducts in house, weekly volume, which vendor is used, and what analyzers are located in the facilities. Once the spreadsheet is compiled, a team of laboratory experts and myself will go through the tests to set criteria on which test is allowed to be done in-house and which tests need to be sent to the CPA lab or the Ancillary Lab. From this project, I will be able to determine the expenses and reimbursement rates to help vet the test menu. The intern program also consists of weekly “Coffee Clutches”. This one-hour sessions gives us the chance to meet and mingle with Norton Administrators. The first week, we met the Rev. Ron Oliver. He talked a great deal about work-life balance and how to embrace opportunities. The next week, we met Al Cornish, the Chief Learning Officer. During this meeting, we learned about the importance of learning and the free benefits to employees by Norton University. Through this past month, my favorite part has been meeting with everyone including the intern team. I have enjoyed getting to know students who come from different backgrounds from me. Of course, having two of my classmates on the team does not hurt either. I look forward to the camaraderie that develops this...

...Business as my major degree this time. Since I am a very energetic and challenging-like person, learning and working in competitive environment are very appealing to me. The reason for applying business major is very simple. It is no doubt that I have huge passion towards business after I took many business-related courses. In addition, I had gotten more familiar with these kinds of stuff after I did some internship, which provided me a very good opportunity to build my confidence in pursuing business-related jobs after college. In particular, I feel interested in real estate, marketing, and finance areas. Not only I have been almost done all the courses in business major requirement, I am participating in JBS Real Estate Development this summer, which gives me a glimpse and affords me a substantial connection between the college and the work after college. Despite what many believe, business is not only about its glossy brochure, its fancy product, and its precise financial report. It extends to its employees, customers, the media and even the general public. Honestly, I am a kind of person who is eager to work with people, communicate with people and even negotiate with people. Last year, I declared Psychology as one of my major and almost done all requirements as so far. I certainly believe that Psychology and Business are a good combination in knowing how to work with people, and how to get into social networks well in the future. Besides my good academic standing, I joined...

...Brussels and Bradshaw In response to the case study, Brussels and Bradshaw is a well-established financial institution that offers their clients competitive and innovative solutions for their community and work environments. The banking institution offers a summer internship to bright and driven individuals. The internship includes 14 weeks of very intense training and long hours. Interns are paid $20,000 for the contract. During the screening process, out of all the possible candidates Audrey Locke was selected. Audrey has some experience as an assistant, assurance analyst and financial planning analyst. Brussels and Bradshaw is operating in more than 25 countries globally; this case study takes place in Toronto. Many behavioral issues in the Brussels and Bradshaw institution are unprofessional and stressful. Job stress is defined as feeling one’s capabilities, resources, or needs that do not match the demands or requirements of the job (Hitt, Miller, & Colella, 2011 p. 249). Working 70 and 80 hours per week or possibly 120 hours will put a major burden on anyone, especially someone new to the working environment. Audrey is excited with her internship and very eager to learn. She is assigned a mentor and buddy by the business development manager, Kelly Richards. Kelly has 10 years of experience. Although associates consider her human resources, Kelly’s job is strictly administrative. Audrey is never introduced to her mentor and her buddy, Christine Page is very...

... Ricardo Marques de Sousa 30A Bath Street Leamington Spa Warwickshire CV31 3AE Credit Suisse One Cabot Square London E14 4QJ Dear Sir or Madam, I am currently a third year Warwick University student on a four year Masters in Physics course, eager to secure a place on Credit Suisse’s prestigious summer internship program. An experience at the Laboratório de Instrumentação e Física Experimental de Partículas (LIP), as an intern analyst in the area of high energy cosmic rays, whilst interesting, revealed to be mechanical, repetitive and slow paced with little professional advancement. It was during a careers fair at Warwick University, that the dynamic and competitive nature of the finance industry was brought to my attention. Subsequently I attended presentations held by various firms, including Credit Suisse, each describing the wide spectrum of divisions and opportunities offered by the sector and the firms. The Investment Banking division was described to be fast paced, exciting and intellectually challenging thus appealing to me greatly. Networking with individuals such as Omri Lumbrosso and Andrew Burton, provided a window to the significant responsibilities given to intern analysts and how the skills I have collected can benefit the firm. This further fuelled my motivation to learn more about the industry, division and firm, thus leading me to take a finance module this year and become an avid reader of the Economist. My degree course has provided me with significant analytical...

Questions ending in : can be answered in a few words or as a bulleted list. 1. (6 pts) What key factors are important to you for selecting an internship? (for example: salary, duration, reputation, location close to significant others, specialization, etc.) For me, I want to be close to home, so probably near Chicago, but I am willing to go out to somewhere completely new. Also, an internship focusing on finance or trading is ideal, but I still want to do an internship. For duration wise, hopefully over the summer, thus I can gain more experience and do more. 2.

...May 1st, 2015 Michelle Kyriakides Career Services Director, Experimental Learning Saint John’s University 8000 Utopia Parkway Queens NY 11439 Dear Ms. Kyriakides, It is in the nature of Saint John’s University to always enhance, educate and strive for excellence in all aspects. Career Services is a vital department of the university that is not being used to its fullest potential. While a number of students are continuing to graduate with a diploma of academic success, many still are not prepared for the real world. Majority of students spending an entire semester absorbing lectures and solely taking notes, to simply be tested. This does not qualify as a complete educational experience. While learning through lectures and studying is important, it should not encompass a hundred percent of a college semester. This repetitive form of learning is not thoroughly benefiting students. There is a significant piece of the puzzle that is absent from the university: Experience. I am calling this issue to your attention because a project of this scale would need funding from the department. Using the program “Applied Education”, designed to combine coursework and fieldwork into a holistic educational experience could be a benefit to you. I understand that you assure SJU students are receiving the best advice to compete in today's global marketplace. It was through your innovative new model, that the university has significantly increased student engagement with Career...

...performance and high retention rate of interns. In this project, I will explore intern’s satisfaction with company’s internship training system as well as supervisor/manager’s satisfaction of intern’s performance. In particular, I will focus on how the training system influence the retention rate as well as the effectiveness of the program it self. Desired outcome from company’s perspective view would be higher satisfaction rate from both trainee and their supervisors and in the end, retaining successful trainees. Literature review [Train interns their first day on the job—and every day thereafter—to make them better employees.]. [Katie Willoughby spent the first four weeks of her internship last summer in Kansas City, Mo.-based Hallmark Cards Inc.’s marketing department accompanying her boss from one meeting to the next and gathering background information for her data analysis project. She loved every minute of it. Janell Rodriguez, a 2005 engineering intern at National Instruments in Austin, Texas, was able to field complex customer questions on the workings of her company’s data acquisition technology after spending two weeks learning the ins and outs of the intricate hardware. She spent another three days getting the hang of her company’s phone system and learning how to best answer callers’ questions by asking her own pointed questions.
