I have worked as a front desk agent of a hotel for about three years and I really like what I do. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I get along really well with my boss and the owners always have really great incentive programs. They are the type of people who just make you want to work hard at your job.

Last month, we had a staff promotion that everyone got really excited about. The staff member that could book the most honeymoon packages that month would get a free weekend trip to Las Vegas. We sure all worked hard trying to promote the hotel.

I did not win, but I am still proud of the number I sold. We tripled the number of packages sold from the month before and, since we all tried hard, we all got gift certificates to a great restaurant in town. All of us, that is, except for Brandy, who will be going to Vegas very soon.

Instead of going to school next fall, I’ve decided that I’m going to get into an internship program and get a year of work experience in the field of computer science.  In some respects, the selection of internship positions for my type of degree revolve around programming.  Even though I do alright at programming, my real passion is human computer interaction and I’m hoping to get into an internship program that focuses on design.

Looking through companies that offer internship programs, I was able to find a New York web designer that was looking for someone to work on their team in creating outstanding websites.  I feel that that would be the perfect internship for me, and I made the point of going there in person to talk to him face to face.

I think my actions spoke louder than any other application that was submitted and I have been assured that I will be able to do my internship there.  It starts in a few short weeks and I just can’t wait to have a different pace compared to my current college life.
