For my first blog post, I am going to combine two of the
topics given to us: why I decided to take this internship with Dwellworks and
my first impressions of the company.
When applying for internships in the spring, I became interested in this
position at Dwellworks after doing some research and learning that the company
is growing their global influence with recent acquisitions in the UK, Mexico,
Costa Rica and Luxembourg. Once offered
the internship, I accepted, despite not knowing anything about the relocation
industry, for a couple of reasons:
I read great things about their internship program, their
rapid global expansion (although I didn’t necessarily think that I would be
able to work and interact with the international offices as an intern), and
because the world headquarters are located in the downtown of the greatest city
in the world.
My first impressions of Dwellworks shattered all
expectations I had of internships in general and also of this specific
internship.
It is easy to write out values on the company website and
not actually follow them but in my short time here I’ve realized that these
values are a way of life here at Dwellworks which creates a very friendly and
encouraging atmosphere that I have never experienced before. I have been paired up with Max, the Director
of the Global Supply Chain, who firstly, shares many of the same values and
visions for the future in both life and business that I do and secondly, has
described the projects and initiatives we will be working on this summer, which
includes direct interaction and collaborationwith both the domestic and
international offices.
I am lucky to be a part of this company at a time of such
global growth and I look forward to working with and becoming friends with my
fellow interns and coworkers as well as contributing to the future success here
at Dwellworks.
