I can't believe this internship is already over, time has just flown by. In my time here though I learned so much and gained so much knowledge.There is a lot of behind the scenes
work that the Human Resource department is responsible for, that most people
probably never realize- some that I never realized until I got here. Things
such as managing employee files, keeping everything up to date, dealing with
issues throughout the company, rolling out learning and development programs,
setting up webinars for continuing education, 401k processes, benefit
administration, parts of payroll, hiring, firing and everything in between.
This internship has given me a great
perspective on what Human Resources is all about. You can learn about it all
you want in class, but until you really experience it for yourself, you don’t
have a full understanding. I have got to experience a lot this summer. I was
lucky enough to have a team that included me in whatever they did. I got to
travel to the Detroit office, attend important meetings, go to HR conferences
and much more. This internship has just
reassured me that I made the right decision in switching my major to Human
Resources. It is something I really enjoy and can see myself doing for the rest
of my life.
Dwellworks has shown me that not
every business job has to be a boring 9-5, hate coming into work kind of job.
Here at Dwellworks I looked forward to coming in everyday- the friendly people,
strong values and just the open environment is what differentiates Dwellworks
from any other business. I have learned so much in my short time here that will
really give me an advantage when I go back to school, or when I go out to apply
for jobs.
I really do feel like I have become
a contributing member to the team here at Dwellworks and I will be sad to say
goodbye, but I know that I have gained a network of not only business
professionals, but lasting friendships.
Good luck to all of my fellow interns,
it has been a pleasure working with each and every one of you. If you ever find
yourself in Columbus be sure to visit! :)
