What I did: I performed audits and prepared taxes. What I liked:
What I did: I revamped the entire website to include things that I would like to see on the website of a childcare center if I was looking for daycare for my daughter. I also asked current clients what they wanted out of our website, including snow day notifications, a yearly calendar, and access to the monthly newsletters. I created a sign-up for monthly emails and made it possible for prospective families to schedule tours on the website. The website traffic has increased by over 300% (which seems high, but they were getting almost no traffic before). The number of tours scheduled has increased quite a bit as well. I also was able to get into the payroll/tuition part of the center. This was quite eye- opening for me, as I did not realize how thin the margins were with everything. It was an interesting time to be doing this, as I was also witness to how the owner dealt with PPP loans and other COVID grants. I was also able to expand my current staff duties into hiring and on-boarding new staff. I really, really enjoyed this aspect of the job. What I liked: My favorite part was the hiring and on-boarding part. I liked making a genuine connection with new staff members before I placed them in the classroom. It was also nice to be on the interviewer side, rather than the interviewee. Future Dream Job: I would like to be the HR director of a hospital, school system or a DCF organization (Department of Children and Families). It’s a few steps up the ladder, but I’m getting a better grasp on things through my classes this semester and this internship.
I really liked performing audits as it was so cool to view the financial position of each business and corporation. I also loved communicating and working with clients to accurately represent how the business is operating. Future Dream Job: My dream job is a controller for a local municipality.
