Hello Fellow Students,
I am proud to introduce myself as the latest blogger to the CSPD site. I am currently a Business Law Major, and this is my third year attending Temple. I have prior work experience as a Manager for a local pharmacy, and also as an Aide in a Nursing Home. I decided that I wanted to get into Business because I wanted to help people, but through the business aspect of things. Furthermore, Law will strengthen my ability to help people.
I am just starting off in an internship search, and at first, found it overwhelming. However, now I feel more relaxed having been to some of the CSPD events, and some other workshops offered in the center. I was hired as an intern last summer, but sadly things fell through because my supervisor’s husband passed away shortly after my start date. I guess I would say that I may not have had the best of luck in internships thus far. However, I recently attended the Part-Time Job and Internship Fair today, at the Liacouras Center. There was a diverse mix of companies looking for anything from babysitters, to police officers, and Finance Interns. There was something for everyone. I am definitely interested in applying for internships I came across. I would definitely recommend that everyone check out the Fox School CSPD, to check for upcoming job opportunities, or events. And remember to its never too early to get CSPD’d. I would recommend to freshman and sophomores to attend the workshops now, this way you will be able to attend the Spring Reception. And make sure you look-out for my future posts. -Mike
