Accounting and Finance Intern
What I did: I learned a lot about human resource systems and functions during my internship. I learned about payroll, hiring and firing, maintaining files, and I learned how to do a lot of calculations by hand that are normally done by a computer. What I liked: I liked it all; I liked the whole aspect of being in human resources in general. Future Dream Job: My dream job is human resources for Ghirardelli.
What I did: I assisted with their overall bookkeeping systems and assisted in running projects and jobs. I helped keep costs down and even did a little marketing by finding new clients and landing new jobs. What I liked: I really liked working with this small business, rather than just an employee or a number I felt more like a truly important part of the system. Working with the accounting software made it a breeze and the tax prep was much easier than I expected it to be. I hope to stick with this company long-term and be able to keep helping it grow as a business. Future Dream Job: My absolute dream job would be something in the finance world that makes a decent bit of money, but has a good work-life balance. I know that type of situation is not quite realistic, but it’s the dream. Or a career that allows me to travel the world as travel is an important part of my life.
