This week marks the beginning of my first official day as an intern! We are assigned to shadow Site Managers and Help Desk Technologists for two hours each, respectively. For the Site Managers, I shadowed Victoria and Jim, and for the Help Desk Technologists, I shadow Jasmine for two hours. Instantly, I felt connected with these three Senior Consultants. They were all so equally friendly and ready to teach me! I never worked with Jim or Jasmine before, so getting to know them, and their quirky little details made me feel like this internship wouldn’t be so terrible after all!
We went over the similarities and differences of Site Managers and a Help Desk Technologists, and gave me a general idea of what I would become at the end of this internship. It gave me a good understanding of what I would like to become, what to expect for and from myself. We went over the general routine of what each Senior Consultant should do, such as opening Velaro at Help Desk, and SBConnect and attendance checks at the Main Library. We went over many different SINC Sites, respective Site managers, and each of the special unique qualities of each site. I realized that although I haven’t officially met most of these Senior Consultants, I’ve seen most of them around and look forward to meeting them this semester!
