The purpose and significance of college students’ summer paid internship in the United States

The senior is very simple. The purpose of my going there is to enrich my social practice experience and earn some internship salary. Moreover, America! Go to the United States for internship!! I watched the spicy American drama, why? Do you want to go to the United States to see all these things? After going there, I think the first time I felt the pressure of independence and growth was when I went to the United States for a paid internship. Later, I learned that it was really not easy for my parents to make money and raise us up, because --- the work is really hard! Very hard!?

After I actually went to the United States, I discovered that the real internship work is more stressful than I imagined. The middle is bigger! What my colleagues and leaders ask of me is to be an independent, multi-faceted leader who can make his own decisions and face each customer head-on. I always felt wronged at first! I always want someone to teach me step by step! I always feel that I can't do a lot of things, but I can't help but ask, and I feel angry why the old bird won't help? I almost fainted several times! Especially once I lost the key to the hotel, and my African boss looked at me from the side without saying anything, making me anxious...but he saw me looking for it. After a while, he smiled and took out my lost key from behind, saying that he wanted me to remember this lesson! So my seniors have actually been taking care of me, but I only looked at myself and didn’t work carefully and carefully... I don’t know why. From then on, I seemed to get along with my colleagues and seniors, and I got more tips. Maybe the seniors think I'm qualified enough to be a member of the team? :D

Of course, during the internship, I still complained in my heart: Why are Americans so realistic? Later, when I went to other companies for internships, I discovered that this is the environment we will face in the future work environment. My African seniors actually did more and took better care of me than many Chinese people.

I originally thought that working in the service industry was like a lower-level internship, because having to serve others seemed like groveling, but my aunt later made me think differently. My aunt has been an executive in a foreign company for more than 10 years. She asked me what kind of internship I wanted to do in the United States. I said hotel internship, and she immediately said that this position is great! My aunt also worked in a hotel for a long time when she was studying in the United States, so she became familiar with the Western system and culture, which helped her a lot when she later worked in a foreign company.

The seniors’ personal internship experience in the hotel is that this is the position where we can best feel the opinions of our guests. We know best what our guests think, need, and what they are dissatisfied with. Even the general manager often comes down to talk to us. People in the lobby chatted and asked our guests what they were thinking about and what services they needed. They were very down-to-earth and not arrogant like senior executives.

Entrepreneurship is popular nowadays. I think the feelings and thoughts of customers should be the information that entrepreneurial companies want to know most. With the experience of internship in the United States, I have accumulated professional experience from the grassroots level and become more down-to-earth. I will not be like the business class in school that talks about strategies every day, but does not serve the customers in a down-to-earth manner.

I think the paid internship in the United States is very helpful for our Chinese students' English speaking, but the article is already so long... If you want to read it, please answer it in the next article.
