This week of the internship is “midpoint” week. That is what the talent team here at Miller has deemed it. Basically a week when all the other interns from the various branches came back here to Jacksonville for a check up of how the internship was going so far. It followed a similar flow to the orientation week.
We got to hear again from our executives and the CEO himself Henry Brown. The presentations during this week mostly revolved around resilience and more self reflection tools to help further our communication and collaboration skills. Along with presentations we got to tour and see the new Jacksonville Jaguars stadium that will be dawned Miller Electric Center when it is completed! Being a football player, this was definitely a highlight of my week. Miller is doing all the electrical work for the stadium and has been a great partner with the Jags for along time. Being apart of a company that has ties to an NFL team is something I find truly remarkable. I never knew how many different and niche things the world of electrical was apart of.
The second highlight of the week came when my do it all manager Megan Wilber came up to me and asked to do some small detailing to help out. It really made me feel like I was apart of the team and could add value to the company. She knew I was involved with a lot of the midpoint events but still wanted me to come and work. Which I was more than willing and excited to do.
The midpoint week was fun and filled with some pretty mem experiences, but I am very much ready to get back into modeling and the normal work schedule!
It’s great to see evidence of impact by your company in the community. It certainly helps develop a sense of pride in the work you do.
Wonderful that you were asked to help with a small side project. This also shows that your manager has confidence in your abilities. Be sure to document these for your portfolio with some screenshots.
