Entry 10: Being Independent

Majority of my internship, I was on my own at my desk doing my work. For me, having so much independence was a new experience. I normally always envisioned someone looking over my shoulder and constantly letting me know what needed to be done and by when. So when that wasn’t the case for this internship, I was honestly thrilled. I myself work better when I don’t have someone hovering over me because I tend to get nervous and make more mistakes then I usually would on my own. I found that I work very well in this type of independent environment. I understand what’s needed of me and I make sure to get it done in a timely manner to allow myself room for error and to make an necessary changes if necessary. When looking for more internship and jobs, I’m looking for the same work environment because I feel like that is where I thrive.
