Internship Coming to an End

So far, I feel like I’ve gained a lot of useful skills from my internship. I will be finishing my last week very soon and I have enjoyed working at the Gresham Belson Hotel for the past 5 weeks and it has taught me some helpful lessons in business and also some things I didn’t expect. I have gotten the chance to work with computers the majority of the time and this has helped me both with my analytical skills as well as my research skills. I have been working on the sales department’s database while at the hotel and my main task has been to acquire various types of information from past customers to create a library of names and companies that other employees can refer to. Through my work I have learned how to dial a phone very well and navigate through websites where English is not available for reading. Those were 2 things that I hadn't really thought about when I first got to my internship but I had to learn as I went through my tasks each day. Of course this work has come with frustrations from my lack of skills in other languages but I have been able to make my abilities fit my tasks where necessary. It has been a huge learning experience for me and I have enjoyed working with my coworkers at the hotel. I wish that I could stay longer to go to all of the different departments; the time here went by very fast and I will definitely miss it.
