A Time to Reflect

As I look back at the last few months as the public affairs intern for Come Recommended, I sit back in awe of how much I have been able to learn in such a short period of time. While I’ve been able to keep a keen eye on all matters pertaining to education, labor, and healthcare that have been put up for debate on Captiol Hill, I have been able to digest the tools essential to career success and job hunting.

Heather Huhman does not just provide a service with her knowledge and infinite wisdom about entry-level job seeking, but more so a gift for all those interested to be able to obtain, grasp and appreciate.

The closer I inch towards my graduation, the more I realize how tips and tricks learned through my fellow interns’ blog posts, daily tweets from Heather, and other outlets that have helped me secure my future endeavor I will be pursuing following my graduation.

The benefits of online internships have been explored on this blog, as has the importance of leadership ability as a member of a team such as one as unique as the one at Come Recommended. I’ve been blessed with a gracious opportunity to learn from each person’s strengths and find a way to advance the CR agenda.

So now as I look upon the future, I offer some words of wisdom for my fellow soon to be graduates: remember that we are who we are becomming. The choices we make and types of behavior we exhibit now, are the same in which we will likely be exhibit later in life.

Do you save any of your money now? Do you keep in touch with friends you haven’t seen in a while? Do you ever step outside your comfort zone in social situations? Well, then don’t expect to have a eiphany twenty years down the road, make the change today for tomorrow. I am thankful for the steps this internship has allowed me to take to better myself for life in the future, wherever I may end up.
