Welcome to Becoming someone useful (internship edition)

This is where my internship story begins. On this professional and personal blog, I share my experiences, insights, and projects during my internship period. Follow my journey as I learn, grow, and develop myself in practice. I am excited to share this adventure with you.

My 10th week as an intern

This week was a pretty good one overall! Monday was a check-in day, but it wasn't too busy, which meant we had enough time to help guests without feeling rushed. During my shift, I also delivered a few missing items to one of the bungalows, making sure the guests had everything they needed for a comfortable stay.

My 9th week as an intern

This week was full of memorable moments. One of the most special things that happened was that a guest went into labor while staying at the park. To congratulate the family, we sent them a maternity gift, which was a lovely gesture from the team.

My 8th week as an intern

This week at my internship was another valuable learning experience. Throughout the week I continued to improve my confidence at the reception by answering guests' questions and helping them as best as I could. Every day I answered questions, I asked questions and that is how you grow.

My 7th week as an intern

This week was a nice mix of quiet moments and busier days, with a few unexpected challenges along the way. Monday was surprisingly calm, which doesn't happen very often. It gave us the opportunity to catch up on a few tasks and enjoy a slower pace before the rest of the week picked up. Sometimes those quieter days are just what you need to reset and prepare for what's ahead.

my 6th week as an intern

This week was one of the busiest weeks of my internship so far. In total, I worked 40.5 hours, which made it a long but very educational week. Because it was such a busy period, I had the opportunity to gain a lot of experience and become more confident in my role at the front and back office.

My 5th week as an intern

This week was a bit shorter and less busy than usual, but I still learned a lot and had some very enjoyable experiences. One of the assignments I received was to prepare and give a tour. To get ready for this, I drove around the park by myself in a golf cart and took a closer look at the different bungalows. This helped me become more familiar with the park and gave me confidence for the tour.

My 2nd week as an intern

This week at my internship was actually really interesting and I learned a lot of new things. Monday and Tuesday were mostly about getting used to everything at the reception. I spent most of the time checking guests in, answering their questions, and helping them when they needed something. Sometimes guests asked easy questions, but other times I had to think a bit more before answering. It was a good way to get more comfortable speaking to people.

My first week as an Intern

This week during my internship was full of new experiences, learning moments, and a lot of fun. One of my main tasks was helping with checking guests in and out. I really enjoy these moments because I get to meet different people every day and help them start or end their stay in a positive way. It has helped me become more confident in communicating with guests and staying organized during busy moments.

About this blog

This blog was created from the assignment to document my internship experiences in a structured and creative way. It is a platform where I can showcase my professional development, while also giving insight into my personal journey. My goal is to find a balance between professionalism and authenticity, so that both my supervisors and other interested readers can gain a clear understanding of my progress and personality. Be aware it will be fun, chaotic but also (hopefully) full of my personal development.
