![]() ![]() You go first," he said, "Then you can tell me if it's worth it." Not wanting to seem a coward, the father accepted. "There's no way I'm getting on that thing. ![]() The son quickly rescinded his consent and turned you guys father. It had loops, helixes, corkscrews and drops more terrifying than anything they'd ridden back home. When they arrived at the roller coaster, they were amazed to behold the giant steel skeleton of the most intricate ride they'd ever seen. "Trust me," he told them, "It's guaranteed or your money back." Having no plans and now both understandably intrigued, the pair agreed. The driver interjected, "Well, if you're not natives, I'd suggest the roller coaster that teaches your or language." Confused, the father and son look at one another then back at their guide. "What should we do on our first day here," the father asked his son, excitedly. Most importantly, this internship has given me a glimpse into what the future holds for me.When they arrived, a cab driver greeted them at the airport. The tasks I’ve completed so far have really allowed me to tie all of my knowledge together and create an overall view of what I know. ![]() This enabled me to provide better advice to clients seeking to invest in the businesses. Even my accountancy knowledge has helped me develop a deeper understanding into the business plans we were given to analyse. For example, I have extensively used legal research techniques such as critiquing sources before using the information they include in research reports. Whilst work so far hasn’t directly related to what I have learnt in my university career, I have found myself using many skills I’ve learnt through class. This internship has allowed me to put all of the things I have learnt into practice. So in this way, I am definitely suited to the workplace! Every day is different different disciplines, different classes, different times. Uni life really has no routine to it whatsoever. I love the pattern that I’ve suddenly found myself in and even though there’s always a new adventure every day, the basic outline is the same. I am a person who loves routine, so the 5 day working week suits me so well. But afterwards, I really feel like it was a rewarding process! We can say that developed a document that will be sent to clients worldwide and in the process of doing so, my proof reading skills vastly improved! This task took us two whole days to complete and by the end we were really starting to lose our marbles. So when Danii and I were given a 90 page English translation of a Chinese document to review for any errors, you could say that I was a little scared. Whilst I love researching and delving into new unknown worlds, proofreading really isn’t my forte. Whilst this makes it a lot harder to complete tasks as expected of me, it is so rewarding when I get it right. I have to work all of that out for myself. In the workforce however, I’ll be given a broad area to research and formulate a report, with no further guidance given. At uni we’re usually given an exact topic to argue or a pin pointed area to research. Whilst I use both of these skills extensively in university life, I have never quite used them the same. My main tasks at my internship so far have involved a lot of research and proof reading. However, even with all of the practical, hands-on experience I’ve had throughout my two years at uni, I still found myself a little bit lost when I reached the office! I’m privileged enough to go to a university that prides itself on having a ‘real world’ focus. Life in the office is really quite different to life in the lecture theatre. With one week left in this incredible city, it’s time to begin to reflect on what my taste at real world experience has been like. As uni is beginning to taunt me from its hiding place just around the corner, I’m starting to realise that my time as an intern is drawing to a close. ![]()
