Work Readiness Skills used at my Internship
Week 2- Work Readiness Skills
Examples of work readiness skills during my internship:
I was tolerant and respectful- From the first day of my internship, I have been exceptionally respectful and tolerant toward everyone that I have had to work with at any time. I have especially been patient with the kids that I have been working with these past days. I have found that with being patient, I am able to have the children listen to me more, and have them follow directions prominently. It also allows me to be receptive to things that need to be done or what I can do better. This has led to more productive and useful time during my internship.
I was professional- So far, for everyday of my internship, I have arrived not only on time, but about 10 minutes or so earlier. I have also been dressed professionally, in clothes that are comfortable, however, at the same time are appropriate and pertinent to my internship.
Work readiness skills to improve during my internship:
Can communicate effectively- I think that I wasn't communicating as much as I could have with the instructors present at my internship. I believe that although I did communicate and interact with them, I can improve by talking to them even more and letting them be aware of other things that could hellp all us improve at what we do.

Its good that you are able to be patient with kids. That is something that is pretty hard for me.
ReplyDeleteBeing respectful of others is a work readiness skill that EVERYONE must have. It is really good that you have already achieved that skill. Children irritate me, so I am already very in awe of your tolerance level with dealing with them at all.
ReplyDeleteI think it's really great that you are patient with kids. It's always a good quality to have with any internship. For example, at Kaiser, I have to be patient with patients and nurses who can't speak with me right away, or with irritated family members. Also, it's a really good that you've been arriving 10 minutes earlier to your internship. It gives you extra time in case there's traffic. On Thursday, because of the Marin County Fair, I got stuck in traffic and was late to my internship. I should have left earlier and considered potential traffic.
