It was great to read about your experience at Penn Community Bank, and I really resonated with it because of all the similarities it shares with my internship. The experiences at my internship and all the things I have learned, will all prepare me for the outside world and my future positions. I have come to really embrace hybrid schedules; It used to be that I wanted to be fully in- person 100%. Now of course there is nothing wrong with that in the slightest. I have come to find out that my personal style pairs well with hybrid working. Some in-person and some online/ virtual brings out the best of my work ethic, it holds me accountable for my work and still gives me that in-person/ sociable feel that I think most of us enjoy.
You also spoke of learning in a trial and error environment, I really relate to that as well. I worked at my internship, not in fear that I might make a mistake so grave that I would get kicked out. Instead, it was a vert nurturing environment that helped me grow and learn from any mistakes.
Just like you, I am very grateful for the opportunity and experiences I’ve gained at my internship with Omm Media. It has taught me so much and given me the confidence to pursue my professional career after I graduate wherever I may go.
