Career Prep 2009 Summer Blog

Bahirah Adewunmi of Cornell University writes that you should stick it out and try your hardest to find the positive things in your job. Become buddies with one of your co-workers. It makes every day easier. Marcus Jones of Temple University writes that you should try to make the best of it and learn as much as you can. If you don’t like what you are doing in your internship simply ensure the work you do is excellent, and also see if you can get an idea of what other interns are doing in case you may like what they are doing. Don't let your managers or superiors see that you do not like what you are doing. Adrianna Samaniego says that even if you do not like the department or company you should always still continue to give your best and try hard. Someone may not like that particular department and if you still try and do well, then you may be able to transfer. If you express to your manager that you enjoy your job, but would like to explore other avenues most people will respect that. As long as you continue to stay positive and do exceptionally well, no matter if you dislike it then there will be other opportunities for you.
