Previously when I watched movies, read books, or heard stories from workers, the term "internship" was vague. As far as I was concerned, it meant that we would work at a certain company, complete the tasks assigned, and achieve the set goals in a given time. And then, after so many years of trying on the education path, I finally understood and experienced the feeling of becoming a trainee as a senior. This is not only a memory but also an experience that I think everyone should have once in their life because it's agreeably.
The internship at AKT Company took place in parallel with the Corona pandemic, so the total working time at the company was only four weeks, and I worked at home to ensure community health for the remaining time. Because the time is limited for me to meet and interact with my colleagues, I don't have much connection with them. On the other hand, I found myself extremely fortunate as my best friend at university also worked here. That was the reason why I was no longer scared and worried about my timid temper.
Most of the tasks which we were assigned did not require a lot of teamwork skills, but instead, the capacity of individual would be promoted because each person assumed responsibility for searching different topics or translating vlogs with completely different content. Even so, we discussed sentences which were quite abstract in a video context to find out the most accurate way to translation; or sometimes we exchanged topics with each other because the other could know better.
It was not too long for me to immediately complete myself, but I thought I was helpful and gave the company a hand when we stayed together. Although I still made mistakes and misunderstandings in the last week, I realized that my internship would be incomplete if I just received all praise and lacked comments and lessons which I learned from those mistakes. At last, I would like to send a deep thanks to my instructor Miss Phuong Thao for giving me sincere advice on the difficulties I faced.
I believe that when the internship ends, it is time for career opportunities in the future to be opened only if we can grasp them.
