I loved working with dedicated people who were passionate about helping others as much as I am. The supportive environment and collaborative team spirit made it a joy to come to work every day. I appreciated the opportunity to engage with clients and staff, and I gained valuable insights into how vocational rehabilitation services operate to make a positive impact on people's lives.
What I wish was different
My experience was wonderful, and I can't think of anything I would change about it. The internship provided a well-rounded introduction to office administration within a state agency, and I felt supported throughout my time there. The tasks were varied, and the staff were always willing to offer guidance and mentorship, which enriched my learning experience.
Advice
Attention to detail, adherence to privacy policies, effective communication, and handling client issues are crucial skills for this role. I recommend future interns focus on developing these skills to succeed in an office administration setting. Additionally, being proactive and taking the initiative to learn from every task will maximize the value of the internship and contribute significantly to professional growth.
