It's Time to BLOOM!!!!
My overall experience has been awesome! I will be going out with a bang on March 10th to Chicago! My applied study site has asked me to assist with their corporate meeting planning and onsite. I am very excited! I have learned a lot about the hospitality industry during my internship. Before my sales and marketing internship I never thought I would do well as a sales associate. I was wrong because I ROCK! This position has helped me grow in many ways. I now know that I would like to do sales in a hotel. Before the internship I was strictly meetings and incentive programs. My internship has opened my eyes to other career paths in the industry and that I am thankful for!
I gained many sales, marketing and communication skills during my internship. I also learn many different terms that are used in the hotel industry. This will help me understand the hotel system a lot better and also give me chance to show off my skills during my interviews. Without a doubt my experience was positive! I met a lot of great people and I now have a seed planted; now I am waiting for my career to blossom. . I also believe that by choosing my applied study site at HPN I will never look back and have a bad experience. I will always remember that working at HPN I was able to find a career that I love and fit in completely. Now if the economy would pick back up I can find a great job in a HOTEL hopefully not in AZ!!
