Character, positivity, plus the willingness to work hard and learn – that should be the goal of every INTERN.
I believe that an expert in anything was once also just a beginner. Confidence on your first day as an intern, is not walking into a room thinking you are better than everyone else but seeing the opportunity that this is not just another day, but rather another chance at making your dreams come true.
Everything you do as an intern is for your future. Strive not to be just a success but rather to be of good value as well. Waking up early every morning as an intern, I adjusted my mindset to see new opportunities. To be the best coachable candidate possible, and to have the determination to learn something new each day.
The reality of working in an office environment, definitely exceeded my expectations. Yes, you will have difficult clients. Yes, you will work extra hours and have to put everything you have into a specific project. But, while doing everything in your power to provide good quality work, at the end of the day you will come out a better person. Why? because you learned, you conquered, you did what you loved most – and it probably made a difference in someone’s day.
I am so grateful for the opportunity that Fine Design Interiors gave me. I can confidently say I would not have grown and learned as much as I have these past 2 weeks without their constant guidance and mentorship. I especially enjoyed their warm and inviting atmosphere. Every morning when I walked into the office I was welcomed with heartwarming smiles and loads of laughter. At the end of everyday I walked away with valuable information that I learned while being in contact with this professional team. It truly was a pleasure working alongside them and seeing them in action. I look forward to taking what I have learned with me into my studies.
Whether you have been in the industry for 30 years or its your first day as in intern, I believe a beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. Learn something new each day, that will lead you to new horizons – MY best is yet to come. Adele Agenbag
