Internship
The first steps that we take in our careers can have an enormous impact on the direction that our entire life will take, which means that we should choose our first positions carefully.

These were major projects and I spent a large amount of time and effort completing them. It was also a significant learning experience for me, since I was able to use the skills I learned during my college years and apply them to a real life situation. I therefore felt very satisfied with my work on a variety of levels, not least because I felt it was worked well
1.3 Reflection The skills that I took away from this experience were those of networking, and budgeting.
