I’m excited for the upcoming months following this week and the next; I’ll be starting my internship with one of Year Up’s corporate partners. I have just found out where I’ll be going as well. I’ve been able to see the campus of where I’ll be working, and, though I’m nervous about messing up, I would like to jump right into things.
I’m not exactly sure as to what I’ll be doing. From the meet and greet I’ve had with the desktop support manager, it sounds like there will be quite a lot of trouble shooting and imaging. I feel really confident with my skills in imaging and hardware trouble shooting, but I fear that my software troubleshooting will be rather lacking. I hope there will be some opportunities for me to try my hand at networking, since that is something I really enjoy doing and have had experience with through the Reserves.
Though this is a chance for me to show off what I have learned, it is also a time for me to learn. I feel that I really need to develop my soft skills a little bit more, especially with networking with people. I’m not the best conversationalist and I hope that will change once I get comfortable in the environment. I’m also not too sure how I should go about asking for more work when I finish with my assigned tasks and have down time.
Hopefully I will get a job from this internship, but if that doesn’t happen then I plan to go to college to at least get an associate’s degree in computer sciences.
