Yesterday we had an all day training session for Civil Treatment of Employees. The program introduced all the new interns to Verizon Wireless. The session also presented some current figures about Verizon Wireless and its competitors on where they stand as the top wireless provider on the market right now. This training session also provided a clear understanding on what to do in multiple situations in a corporate environment. We interacted with the given situations at hand to determine what was the right and wrong way of taking action.
Today was our official welcome into the Verizon Wireless Internship Program which was entitled “You Make the Call…” The morning session consisted of an introduction and welcoming into the program. Then, followed several speakers who explained how they built their careers and goals up while working for Verizon Wireless. The speakers were inspirational in their words and gave a positive attitude towards being part of a team here at Verizon Wireless. That was the one promising thing that I noted throughout this entire morning.
Being that we are only interns does not mean we are just getting coffee for others or making copies. We are treated as part of the team. The next 3 months will be a challenge not only individually, but as a team working towards a common goal. Our contributions will add value to Verizon Wireless as a business to prosper and grow. Our actions will be recognized and we will experience real life situations that will make a difference.
The closing statements were then made to sum everything up. The woman who spoke, which recruited most of us in that conference room, made a final remark. She said that everyone in the room was put her for a reason. We were placed here because we attended great schools and excelled in our achievements. But more importantly we were all joined in that room today because we had something special about us that put us above the rest. They knew that we would be the ones to focus and contribute our knowledge to Verizon Wireless. We would be presenting our innovative ideas not only for next 12 weeks, but to come back and continue to bring fresh new inspiration for years to come.
