Network and Take Advantage of Your Resources

This being my 9th week here as an intern at Equity Trust, I've come to the realization through my various projects that it's so important and really pays off in the long run to set plans and due dates as soon as a project is being implemented. It takes both time and often preliminary research, but having something to look back on and reference for minor details makes everything easier. Some people might find project plans tedious but I actually enjoy putting them together and keeping up-to-date with them. This has lead me to an interest in some sort of project planning. Although I've already met with my mentor to talk about her role in the marketing department as a project specialist, I decided to seek out another employee here at ETC. I had the opportunity to meet with the project manager in our ETS (Equity Technical Services) department. Still having one more year of college, it's difficult to fully know yet specifically what I want to do after graduation. But he provided me with a lot of valuable information from his professional experiences that I wouldn't be able to fully understand from an ordinary job description. The employees here are always willing to help others out and the interns are never excluded from this. They want us to take advantage of the resources provided to us, and I really value this.
