I have chosen these internships because they are all designed for a medical assistant. This profession is in demand in various fields of medical services. Each of the programs has different specifics of the main specialties of the paramedic. However, all of these subspecies of medical assistant activity are interesting to me. From the first internship, I want to get a medical unit practice at a large medical organization. For the second internship, I want to strengthen my examination skills. In the third internship, my goal is the practice establishing diagnoses. The fourth internship will allow me to conduct independent treatment. The benefit of the fifth internship for me will be that I will be able to learn how to work closely with a doctor.
I plan to apply for the first internship because it will satisfy my need in obtaining the missing knowledge. Applying for the second internship will allow me to obtain the skills that a medical assistant needs. I plan to apply for the third internship because this way I will be able to practically acquire the necessary manual skills. Applying for the fourth internship will allow me to master the officially approved standards of assistance volumes.
I plan to apply for the fifth internship because I will have the opportunity to try a wide range of interventions. The deadline for all internships except the third is two months (for the third one and a half months). The requirements for all internships are a certificate of proficiency in Spanish and a certificate of secondary medical education; I have both documents. My references will be my university professors (Benamrane et al., 2020). They should write me a letter of recommendation because they have the most accurate idea of my professional level.

Any student should gain work experience to know what to expect when searching for employment. This essay is devoted to my internship experience at Al Habtoor Motors, its perceived practical effectiveness, the degree to which my goals have been achieved, and success-related attitudes valued in this organization. In order to make the reflections more practically relevant, improvement strategies helping to upgrade performance in particular areas are defined.
Goals
The first goal that has been set is to gain knowledge of services, businesses, and operations at Al Habtoor Motors, one of the market leaders in the UAE ( About Al Habtoor Motors, n.d.). In reference to this goal, I would give myself an A since I have managed to get acquainted with a lot of materials and reports devoted to the organizations strategy and the way that its departments cooperate. In particular, the organization values teamwork, and I was welcome to communicate with department leaders in case of any questions. From confidentiality considerations, the information on the companys internal operations should not be discussed openly. In terms of the improvement strategy, it is possible to achieve greater results by researching the organizational structures of the key UAE automotive market players.
The next goal is related to the development of interpersonal skills. Frankly speaking, I would give myself a B because I still see important areas of improvement related to communication with clients. As for colleagues and managers, we all use the same terminology and can explain anything in great detail if necessary. In reference to customers, I do not have significant problems when talking to them and offering them the companys products since my communication and persuasion skills are quite good. However, I may need to gain more knowledge of automobile manufacturing processes because I feel that some clients pay attention to my automotive literacy when making decisions (for instance, they ask me about my personal experience with products). To sound more convincing, it can be necessary to start self-learning and communicate with technical specialists.
The third goal that I have set relates to the ability to apply theoretical knowledge and skills to practical situations. In general, I did not make any serious mistakes when carrying out my duties related to paperwork, filling invoices, and working with proposal documents. The ability to fulfill these and other tasks properly heavily depends on the degree to which the companys corporate culture is understood. I have managed to apply a range of concepts related to organizational behavior to understand my position in the hierarchy and accept constructive criticism peacefully. Thus, I would give myself an A, but it is possible to improve performance even more by becoming more innovative during further work. To me, introducing innovations requires a lot of practical experience.
The fourth goal that has been formulated involves improving technical business skills and gaining practical knowledge of tools helping to conduct market research. During the work, I actively use MS Excel and less popular applications to create spreadsheets and organize data, and this experience has helped me to discover new opportunities to produce statistical data and, therefore, generalize on the companys financial situation (Siegel, 2016). Given that I learn new practical skills quickly, I would give myself an A. However, considering the nature of my duties, I use only a limited number of business tools. To improve my knowledge, even more, it can be important to use new tools such as Google Analytics to better understand customers needs and reflect this information in business proposals.
Success-Related Attitudes
Observing the companys organizational culture and the work of my supervisors, I have singled out four success-related attitudes that employees are expected to have to grow professionally: integrity, emotional intelligence (EI), open-mindedness, and being open to continuous learning. As for the first pair of attitudes, I think that I deserve two As since I do not let my personal interests interfere with decision-making and manage to control my emotions to avoid work-related conflicts. In terms of integrity, I avoid making decisions when information is scarce to prevent negative outcomes for other employees, I would prefer to spend time conducting research. As for EI, I actively use these skills when working with clients because there are many concerns that they fear to express explicitly. A good strategy helping to improve integrity would involve reducing the impact of personal matters on job performance and using self-awareness exercises to discover harmful behaviors or mindsets. To improve EI, it is pivotal to strengthen social skills, criticize yourself, and become less susceptible to stress (Segon & Booth, 2015).
The second pair of attitudes, open-mindedness and the readiness to learn, is also extremely important for my job performance. As for open-mindedness, I would give myself a B because I overutilized my past experience at the very beginning of my internship. The strategy that I have used to become more open-minded involves learning more about the distinctive features of the organization and its unique values. In terms of the final attitude, I would give myself an A since I have demonstrated the readiness to acquire new knowledge on a daily basis. Frankly speaking, every day at Al Habtoor Motors is full of discoveries related to business documents and consumer communication, and I have to read a lot to acquire new practical skills. However, to become even closer to success, it is important to become more critical to ones knowledge, set clear expectations, and use mistakes as motivators.
Conclusion
In the end, this experience has been instrumental and helpful. The use of self-assessment practices has helped me to identify areas of improvement and well-developed skills. The conclusions that I provide in this essay will be extremely important in my further career development.
The internship took place in Etihad museum in Dubai, the UAE. This project included several major goals focusing on the issues of budgeting, meeting arrangement and facilitation, museum procedures, policy development, organizational improvement, the analysis of data and activities, and shadowing the museum director. The overall objective of the internship activities was directed at the development and practice of versatile leadership and administrational skills and abilities. The activities included in the internship program were based on different kinds of tasks of a museum leader that were designed to provide necessary and valuable experiences for the intern, and to allow practicing professional duties of various nature and degrees of complexity.
To be more precise, the first goal included in the internship program was focused on budgeting activities and included working with the organizational budget plans, a detailed overview of the existing and potential expenses, risks, and opportunities, and the prediction of possible development scenarios helping to address and manage the threats, monitor expenses, and reduce costs. This activity was quite complex and required the application of critical thinking, planning and forecasting skills, as well as the analytic skills helping to determine what kinds of changes were required in order to address the current and potential budgeting issues.
One of the most useful and valuable activities within the course was the one dedicated to the facilitation of meetings for the purpose of the establishment of a basis for collaboration between the museum and other organizations including the Ministry of Education. The activity showed that the arrangement of meetings is a complex and multifaceted procedure that involves a multitude of aspects and requires thorough planning, resources, and paper work. In that way, this internship activity provided a substantial amount of valuable professional practice. In addition, similarly to the activity reflected on previously, the one dedicated to the facilitation of meetings was directly related to the planning and forecasting skills as it was necessary to consider the course of the arranged meetings, their content, discussion questions, as well as their purpose and expected outcomes. These tasks also required appropriate time management and a deep understanding of different communication styles.
Just like in the facilitation of meetings, communication played an important role in the internship goal covering various museum procedures. To be more precise, such procedures included multiple groups of stakeholders and the application of versatile communication styles and strategies in order to establish trusting and positive relations with all of them. Also, the density of activities and tasks in this field called for careful time management so that versatile discussions and duties could be carried out on time. The use of technologies such as digital devices allowing fast communication with different people and groups helped to improve the productivity of interactions, as well as their effectiveness. All in all, museum procedures included a wide range of operations such as the cooperation with various interdisciplinary teams of professionals, the arrangement of exhibitions, the discussion of educational focuses and goals of different museum activities, the management of art pieces exhibited in the museum, as well as their storage and transportation.
One of the most interesting goals within the course of the internship was the one focused on the improvement of the museum. The activities included in this objective were versatile and covered the allocation of budget for renovation and change purposes that would help the museum function in a more effective manner and provide a better experience to its visitors. This activity was based on the evaluation of the importance and urgency of various needs of the museum and decision-making as to which needs are to be addressed primarily.
The goal that included most of the planning and evaluation was the one dedicated to the analysis of data and the alignment of the current action plan with the obtained information. This goal sounded like a general activity including the work with a bigger picture and long-term planning, projecting, and forecasting. In order to fulfil the tasks included in this goal, it was necessary to be able to draw connections between the present activities of the museum and its future projects and plans, assess their potential outcomes, required resources, and the current state of affairs with potential problems and challenges.
Overall, the internship showed that the leaders position in a museum is related to a broad range of responsibilities and tasks. Moreover, it also covers a very diverse set of duties from communication with stakeholder groups, to the management of art pieces, their transportation, storing, and the conditions in which they are kept, budget allocation, change, innovation, and organizational improvement. In addition, shadowing the museum director helped understand the work carried out in order to stimulate the collaboration with schools and the influence on students through the maintenance of effective communication with museum tour guides. In conclusion, the internship experience demonstrated how a very wide range of activities can come together in order to create the most productive educational impact while keeping the organization well-managed, developed, and connected to various stakeholder groups and partner establishments.
During summer and other vacations, students are expected to attend some internships and summer jobs preferable those that are in line with the courses they are studying in school. When in these vocational jobs, the students and the companies benefit from the short team contracts (Sides & Mrvica. 2007). This paper discusses the benefits that both students and the company get from internships and summer jobs.
The benefits to the company
The company stands to get a new source of labor that is mostly at a low cost than experienced employees; internships are loyal to the company and work for the good of the company. Despite the low cost, they need high supervision and ensuring that they perform their tasks diligently and effectively.
The need for high supervision can be used to the good of the organization as some low ranking officers can be given the role of monitoring the interns and in the process, they develop their supervisory and leadership skills. From that angle, when the interns are leaving an organization, they leave having assisted in the development of some skills in the employees.
Interns work hard to develop networking with the organization they practiced their internship, in this context, they are highly motivated and willing to create, innovate and invent new methods of doing business in the effort of leaving a land mark in the organisation.
When doing this, there are high chances they will come up with new systems of doing things that will benefit the organization in the future. During the course work, the intern might have learnt something that might assist him or she sees a strategic gap in an organization; when the management is advised on such areas, there are high chances of improving business processes.
In most cases, when an intern is leaving an organization, he or she is expected to give an analysis in the form of management report to the management that gauges the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes in the segment and probably any recommendation that can improve processes. The report can be of great assistance to the management as they can get an independent review of the processes for future improvements (Gareth & Jennifer, 2010).
The benefits to the students
Some subject demand that students should undertake some internship programs with a relevant company so when the students attend the internships, it is one way of fulfilling the demands of the course. When students are on the ground, they get a chance to connect what they studied in class with what is actually happening on the ground. They are thus able to appreciate and have deeper meaning on different causes and topics they study.
To some students, the internships and the vocational jobs give them the first experience in a working environment; they learn what transpires in an office in the move of preparing for future challenges of working environment. The finances they get can be used for personal projects or in some cases; it can be used to cater for fees.
When students are on the ground, they get a chance to network with people who are likely to offer them job chances when they have graduated; this assists them after they have completed their schooling. When students are given tasks and responsibilities, they are able to apply what they studied class to look for lasting solutions in the organization; in so doing, they feel their skills, talents, and professions have been utilized appropriately. When on the internship or vocational jobs, the student is able to develop social and professional links that can become very useful in the future career growth.
When a student is doing his or her internship, he get a chance to interact with diverse people in culture attitude and skills; to handle all these people the student needs to have some people skills, by the end of the attachment, he is able to appreciate diversity. Probably when he or she gets back to school, his or her attitude towards other students will have changed for the good.
Internships are used for reinforcing ones curriculum vitae, a person who has undertaken an internship is more likely to be considered in a job vacancy than a person who has no clue of what transpires in a formalized organization.
In some situations, the environment that a student is getting his summer job or internship may not be favorable, they may be hostile in one way or another; the hostility makes someone mature, independent, and more tolerant and understanding, when faced with limited funds, the student learns on self-finance management skills. The interaction with the outside world makes a student better offer in social, economical, cultural, and sometimes-political skills (Gareth & Jennifer, 2007).
Conclusion
Summer jobs and internships have mutual benefits to both the student and the company offering the internship. The student develops employment networks, social skills, and gets a chance to learn more on his area of specialization. On the other hand, the company gets new ideas and an independent review of internal processes.

This company started at low levels and ascended to been a reputable security company in America (Blue Steel Security Inc, n.d)
For my intern program, I have managed to attain an intern position at Blue Steel Security Company at its headquarters in Brooklyn. The position I am attached to is file clerk working in a family oriented environment. The main incentive for working in the Blue Steel Security Company as an intern is the fact that there is a high chance of attaining an employment opportunity in the Company.
Job description
File clerks in the Blue Steel Security Company are regarded as the guardians of the company. This is because the main part of their job description entails handling important files and documents. The filing system of the company is part and parcel of the responsibility of Blue Steel Security Companys file clerk. Responsibilities in the filing system entailed maintaining and organizing the companys files.
In addition to this, collecting of documents and materials from the various companies departments, assessing and sorting it out and arranging the materials is also part of my internship responsibility as a clerk intern. The incorporation of modern technology by the company made my responsibility as a file clerk easier as files data and information is easily fed in to the computer electronically. This in turn eases the burden of retrieving the information when need arises.
The files are arranged alphabetically and numerically according to their years of storage. These files are also kept up to date. In the case of electronically stored files, scanners are used to convert the hard copy file into soft copy file. Counter checking the files for proper documentation is a regular practice. Working as a file clerk in Blue Steel Security Company incorporates handling the responsibilities of a receptionist.
This therefore indicates that the responsibility duties of a file clerk are vast. Working as a receptionist, the responsibilities include answering of clients phone calls, explaining the companys services to potential clients and booking of appointment for the various clients. In addition to this, as a receptionist, part of my responsibilities is connecting the telephone calls between the various companys departments and ensuring that all the mails addressed to the company land on the appropriate departments desk.
Experience attained
Working in Blue Steel Security Company is an eye opening opportunity as the company deals with security matters, which happen to be a major issue in Americas public domain. As an intern in the file clerk department/receptionist department, I am attaining a lot of experience on how to relate with the various kinds of people. This is particularly evident while working as a receptionist where I tend to meet different kinds of people who have different attitudes. Working as a receptionist, it is the companys policy to ensure the clients are served to their satisfaction. This ensures that the receptionist attains crucial qualities of attracting potential clients and hence increasing the market base of the company.
As file clerk, I am also attaining vast wealth of experience in the filing systems using both manually and electronically methods of filing. Collecting of the material from the different departments of the company that are meant to be file is also a new experience that am attaining as the process indicates the type of relationship that should exist between the various department of a company. Booking of appointments is a process that indicates the importance of time cautious while working in a business premise.
Hindrances
Despite the vast amount of experience that am attaining while working as an intern in the Blue Steel Security Company, a number of hindrances are also encountered in the course of my internship program. As a receptionist, not all clients are friendly especially those that have arrived late for their appointment only be told to reschedule for another appointment. In the file clerk section, hindrances crop up especially while trying to identify files information that is filed without electronically filing a similar copy. In this case, different files have to be perused in order to attain the intended file.
Conclusion
The whole internship program is a success in the making despite the few hindrances experienced while working as a file clerk/receptionist in the Blue Steel Security Company. A vast amount of experience is continually been attained as working in an intern capacity.
The experience that is been attained ranges from public relations to systematic record keeping. The vast amount of responsibilities undertaken by the file clerk is an indication of the importance of a file clerk in a company. On completion of my attachment, a vast amount of experience will be achieved. The only goal and objective left will be attaining the golden job opportunity, to work with one of the reputable security company, the Blue Steel Security Company.

This report presents the results of an internship in the Accounting Department of Aal Mir Group of Companies. Four specific learning objectives were determined for the internship: to study general accounting principles applied in the company; to learn accounting methods of analyzing financial data; to practice in preparing financial statements, and to learn how to use personal judgment regarding the application of accounting principles. Aal Mir Group is a leader among distributing companies in the United Arab Emirates, and it specializes in importing and exporting confectionery products. The company has several associates and many partners. In the organizational structure, the Accounting Department holds one of the key positions.
During the internship, I worked under the supervision of the Junior Accountants leader. I was responsible for studying accounting principles, guidelines, and techniques, as well as reorganizing databases and entering financial data. I also helped junior accountants in preparing regular financial reports and payment records, and I participated in preparing the companys financial statements. As a result of the internship, I have improved my knowledge regarding working with financial statements, data analysis, and preparation of accounting records. I have enhanced my skills in working with databases and accounting software, as well as in applying accounting frameworks and theories in practice. Areas that need improvement include my knowledge regarding the auditing process and the application of advanced formulas. Suggestions for the company are related to the necessity of improving the list of objectives and tasks that students can complete during their internship.
Introduction
Accounting theory should be actively applied to practice. In order to develop practical skills in using accounting principles and methods of financial analysis while preparing reports and statements, it is necessary to create specific conditions for learners. An internship can be viewed as an effective opportunity to enhance professional capacities in the sphere of accounting. Therefore, the main motivation to participate in an internship project is based on the intent to apply the individuals theoretical knowledge and learn specifics of using studied accounting methods and techniques in practice. This report provides details regarding the results of my internship in the Accounting Department of Aal Mir Group of Companies in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The focus of the report is on presenting my learning objectives, describing the companys profile and its organizational structure, discussing the work setting and job details, analyzing the work experience and achievements, and providing suggestions and conclusions.
Objectives
Before starting the internship, I chose to identify some areas of interest on which I planned to focus during my practice. These areas included general accounting principles, the application of accounting theory to practice, and the professional use of financial analysis methods and techniques. Four main learning objectives were identified for my internship, according to the universitys requirements. I formulated the objectives as follows:
During the internship period, I will study the general accounting principles that are applied in the company.
During the internship period, I will learn accounting methods for analyzing financial data with a focus on differences in these methods.
During the internship period, I will improve my practical skills in preparing financial statements, including income statements, cash flows, and balance sheets, in accordance with accounting principles.
By the end of the internship period, I will be able to use my judgment regarding the application of accounting principles and rules with regard to tasks, circumstances, and policies adopted in the company.
Therefore, during my internship, I was focused on completing the stated objectives and achieving general practical goals. They included the improvement of my knowledge and experience regarding the use of accounting principles and methods, the application of financial analysis techniques, and improvement in decision making based on accounting theory and practice.
Company Profile
Aal Mir Group of Companies was founded by Mr. Motalleb Vakhshouri in the 1980s. The company became one of the most successful corporations in Dubai, the UAE. In the 1980s-1990s, Aal Mir Group grew in the field of trading and distributing confectionery products ( About Us: Who We Are ). However, changes in the market caused the companys leaders to focus on importing a variety of products and food lines, not only in the UAE but also in Oman ( About Us: Who We Are ). Currently, Aal Mir Group has many brands, and it is one of the leading marketing companies in the UAE in particular and the Middle Eastern region in general.
It is important to note that Aal Mir Groups vision is based on the companys intention to address quality standards and meet customers expectations and requirements. As a result, the company is focused on continuous improvement to contribute to the progress of its employees, as well as to add to the development of the community and environment. The companys mission is to distribute high-quality products to address the needs of the supply chain and consumers ( About Us: Who We Are ). Thus, the focus is on improving the companys accountability, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency. Furthermore, Aal Mir Groups mission is also aimed at reducing any negative impact on the environment and toward developing investment opportunities ( Core Business Activities ). The company has also been successful in developing strong management and marketing policies with a focus on addressing consumers needs in the Middle Eastern region along with the Gulf Cooperation Council countries market ( Core Business Activities ). Much attention is paid to guaranteeing environment-friendly operations, beneficial relationships with suppliers, and on-time deliveries to partners and consumers.
Organizational Hierarchy
Aal Mir Group of Companies is a large distributor in Dubai, with several associates and subsidiaries that focus on promoting different brands. The company is headed by Mr. Mir Motalleb Vakhshouri, the president. The other executives who organize and monitor the strategic development of the company include two vice presidents and the Managing Director. The legal advisor, the secretary, the internal auditor, and the head of the IT Department directly report to the Managing Director and vice presidents ( Aal Mir Group of Companies Management Chart ). The key departments in Aal Mir Group are the Sales and Marketing Department, the Logistics Department, the Accounting Department, and the Commercial Department. Aal Mir Groups organizational chart that demonstrates the structure of the company is presented in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Aal Mir Groups Organizational Chart ( Aal Mir Group of Companies Management Chart ).
The Commercial Department controls the Groups trading and non-trading activities. Commercial executives report to the Group Commercial Director. Group managers in this department control several branches of import and export activities. The Group Manager is responsible for the Groups export sales reports to the Group Commercial Director. This department has direct contacts with the Sales and Marketing Department that is divided into Van Sales, Showroom Sales, and Outdoor units ( Aal Mir Group of Companies Management Chart ). The work of these units depends on the activities of the unit managers and their teams including high-class specialists in their areas. The Logistics Department is headed by the Group Manager in Logistics, and it is divided into Warehouse and Maintenance units headed by managers who work as team leaders. The Accounting Department operates in connection with the Human Resources (HR) Management Department because leaders of these units report to the companys Finance Manager ( Aal Mir Group of Companies Management Chart ). Specialists within the Accounting Department collect data that is related to the operations of all units in Aal Mir Group.
Work Setting
The Accounting Department in Aal Mir Group is headed by the Chief Accountant, who reports to the Finance Manager. In his turn, the Finance Manager controls the financial activities of the company and reports to vice presidents and the Managing Director. The main positions in the Accounting Department are as follows: Senior Accountants and Junior Accountants. Teams of senior and junior accountants are led by supervisors ( Aal Mir Group of Companies Management Chart ). Senior and junior accountants are responsible for the continuous analysis of financial documents related to the companys operations, including its subsidiaries and associates. Accounting records, reports, financial documentation, and results of financial analysis or forecasting are usually approved by the Chief Accountant and reported to the Finance Manager in order to inform the executives decision-making.
Therefore, to receive detailed financial data regarding the companys operations, those specialists who work in the Accounting Department have direct contacts with representatives of the Sales and Marketing Department, the Logistics Department, and the Commercial Department ( Aal Mir Group of Companies Management Chart ). The reason for this is the necessity to receive detailed financial information regarding operations and to collect background data to complete reports and prepare balance sheets. I should state that during my internship, I mostly interacted with the leader of the Junior Accountants group, who was assigned as a supervisor to coordinate my work in the Accounting Department. As a result, I was able to study how junior accountants complete their regular tasks while learning the principles of the Accounting Departments work.
Job Description and Project Details
My job responsibilities during the internship were determined by the supervisor, who asked me to cooperate with the group of junior accountants. Thus, I was assigned different tasks depending on the time frame working as an intern, and my responsibilities were associated with performing the following activities:
Week 1. I was to develop working relationships with junior accountants, review the documentation and guidelines used, study accounting principles and techniques, and help in reorganizing databases.
Week 2. I was responsible for assisting junior accountants in reorganizing electronic databases and entering financial data into the computerized system. My responsibilities also included the preparation of regular financial reports and payment records.
Week 3. I was responsible for assisting in developing financial statements, including income statements, cash flows, and balance sheets. My responsibilities also involved working with the accounting software to enter data.
Weeks 46. I was responsible for working as an assistant for the supervisor and junior accountants. Moreover, I was responsible for entering financial data, processing information with the help of accounting software, preparing spreadsheets, and using functions and formulas.
Work Experience
In order to describe my work experience in detail, it is important to explain my interactions and activities, which were associated with a list of the responsibilities that I had in the Accounting Department of Aal Mir Group. During the first week of my internship, I communicated with my supervisor and worked with the documentation that was used in the department. My task was to study accounting principles as applied in the company, examine non-confidential financial documents for the years 20142016, and complete assigned tasks regarding the reorganization of documents. I was asked to help junior accountants systematize files and enter data into the companys computerized system. I was able to examine the information provided in the companys accounting guidelines. Moreover, I communicated with the junior accountants, and we worked together to organize the schedule for my internship and assistance in the Accounting Department.
During the second week of my work as an intern, I assisted a group of junior accountants in entering and storing financial data. I was responsible for organizing the companys folders and databases in an electronic form. This experience was oriented to help me apply in practical use my theoretical knowledge regarding accounting documents and records. I was also responsible for preparing daily reports and records for sharing in the Accounting Department. Thus, I improved my skills in using Excel. The supervisor also asked me to help in preparing payment records. In so doing, I needed to coordinate with representatives of other departments, as well as suppliers and partners, to resolve some issues. The results of my work were monitored by the supervisor.
During the third week, I had a task to assist the leader of Junior Accountants in preparing financial statements, including income statements, cash flows, and balance sheets. I was asked to learn how to use the accounting software and apply accounting principles and methods as well as financial analysis techniques. I was responsible for preparing the primary data for further analysis by accountants. I was also responsible for entering the data into the accounting program under the supervision of the team leader in order to generate financial statements. It is also important to state that during the third week, I interacted with the supervisor and some junior accountants to obtain advice on how to work with the specific accounting program.
After receiving the full orientation regarding the work with financial documents and statements during the first three weeks of my internship, I was assigned to assist the junior accountants in their routine work on a regular basis. My responsibilities included entering financial data, working with the accounting software and computerized spreadsheets, and the application of functions and formulas under the supervision of junior accountants. As a result, I was able to learn the key principles of creating financial statements and making judgments regarding observed trends. It is important to note that I was also responsible for helping junior accountants in preparing supporting documents and providing justification for reports depending on cases, circumstances, and policies. It was valuable to work as a part of the team to provide junior accountants with the required assistance. During the last week of the internship, I was focused on getting feedback from the supervisor regarding my achievements with an eye to identifying gaps in my theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Achievements
It is possible to analyze my personal and professional achievements associated with working in the Aal Mir Group with reference to the learning objectives that were set for my internship. First, I needed to study general accounting principles as applied in Aal Mir Group of Companies. I completed this objective during the first and second weeks of the internship when I reviewed general documents and guidelines applied in the company. I can state that I have coped with this task successfully because I was able to study principles declared in the companys documents in the context of accounting theories, guidelines, and standards learned during my studies. As a result, I now understand the difference between various accounting standards, realize the principles of their application, and differentiate situations for using this or that technique. Therefore, I can note that I have also achieved the second goal of my internship. I received complete information regarding the practical application of different accounting methods and frameworks to financial data.
Much attention was paid to completing the third objective, according to which I was to practice in preparing different types of financial statements while applying specific accounting principles and techniques. This task can be described as challenging, and I am satisfied with my results in developing my skills in this area. Thus, I have improved my knowledge and capacities related to entering and storing financial data, applying formulas and functions, using spreadsheets, and preparing income statements, cash flows, and balance sheets. It was important to learn how to work with the accounting software used in the company and what types of data and formulas should be entered to generate reports. I can state that now I can be described as an advanced user of the accounting program applied in Aal Mir Group. To achieve high results, I had to communicate a great deal with the supervisor and junior accountants in order to receive the required consultation and advice. This type of experience is important for me because I was able to work with different examples of reports and financial records during my internship.
I have also completed my last objective, associated with using judgment while applying accounting principles and rules with reference to certain tasks, circumstances, and policies adopted in Aal Mir Group. When I helped junior accountants to process different types of data and generate reports and statements, I was able to observe how team leaders and experienced accountants justified their use of various formulas, functions, and algorithms. When I did not understand the principle of this or that decision, I had an opportunity to ask for clarification and receive comments regarding the issue. Therefore, it is possible to state that I have improved my skills in making judgments and forming justification to support certain decisions. Furthermore, during the internship, I developed my communication and cooperation skills because I was able to work as a member of a team to achieve collective results.
Suggestions
Although my experience associated with my internship in Aal Mir Group was positive, it is possible to propose some recommendations to advance internship programs used in the company and the university. To improve the experience of interns and guarantee their involvement in a working process, it is necessary to provide the management of companies where interns plan to work with lists of tasks that can be assigned to young specialists. Therefore, it is important to determine, for all interns, a list of objectives that are expected to be completed during the internship. These objectives should be correlated with the list of activities and responsibilities that can be performed by interns in different types of organizations.
Such lists with general objectives are proposed within the university, but it is important to expand upon and improve them in order to provide interns with more options to choose from. Furthermore, it is necessary to note that each organization has specific requirements regarding interns performance, and it is essential to state what specific tasks can be performed by interns in concrete working environments in order to adjust their lists of objectives to these requirements as well as employers expectations. In addition, it is important to systematize the universitys requirements regarding the improvement of interns skills in such fields as communication, ethics, and leadership in order to guarantee higher results.
Conclusion
While evaluating the internship experience, I can state that I was able to develop my understanding of accounting principles and apply my knowledge to practice. However, it is necessary to focus on some specific conclusions that are important to take into account while assessing my internship. There are four main conclusions to mention:
The internship has helped me improve my knowledge in such areas as the creation of financial statements, analysis of data, and preparation of accounting reports and records.
As a result of the internship, I have enhanced my skills in working with databases and specific accounting software. I recognize all the main processes associated with preparing financial statements, and I can perform tasks required to complete financial analysis at basic and advanced levels.
The internship has helped me demonstrate and improve my abilities in applying accounting frameworks and theories, processing financial data, and making judgments and conclusions under different circumstances.
As a result of my work in Aal Mir Group, I can identify some personal and professional areas that need improvement in relation to my practical skills: working with auditing standards, risk analysis, and the application of advanced formulas, functions, and algorithms to conduct financial analysis according to cost accounting methods.
The conclusions are important in developing my practical skills as a qualified accountant. In spite of the fact that the internship has helped me develop my capacities and professional skills, there are still areas that need further improvement. I should state that the reason is in the fact that an auditing process was not covered as a part of my internship, and I was not able to apply complex formulas to financial analysis. However, I have received a good opportunity to work as an accountant in a large organization.

The SWOT analysis for Saudi Aramco is constructed based on personal perceptions and judgments it represents the current state of the organization and its future evolvements. It should be noted that Saudi Aramco is a major company that is often mentioned as one of the leading businesses in Saudi Arabia and the world (Gharamah, Noordin, Ali, & Brohi, 2018). Therefore, its strong and weak sides also have a global impact and shape its future opportunities along with world-wide trends.
Strengths
One of the major Saudi Aramcos strong sides is its size of production. Furthermore, the company has a wide reach of its projects which directly affect the situation not only on the local but also on the global market. The organizations academic and technological advancements are also among its strengths. Saudi Aramco shows that scholarly research is vital is creating a new path for the business. Finally, the promotion of sustainable practices has to be mentioned as well. Saudi Aramcos focus on the environment allows it to become more reliable, future-oriented, and stable than its competitors.
Weaknesses
While the companys impact on the market is substantial, its reliance on crude oil sales highly affects the profitability of Saudi Aramco. If the importance of the oil market decreases, the business earnings will fall drastically, virtually rendering Saudi Aramcos efforts insignificant. Although this scenario is highly unlikely, the organization should not ignore the problem of dependency of one product. The second possible weakness lies in the low level of transparency of all operations due to the corporate governance structure established in the business. The framework may become a barrier for future collaborations with other companies which demand higher levels of transparency from their partners.
Opportunities
With its current and future resources and technological advancements, Saudi Aramco has many opportunities for growth. First of all, its place in the international market can be strengthened with the rising demand and energy consumption levels. Oil production is one of the pillars of the global economy. Thus, Saudi Aramco can use its position to shape the future of this sector. Secondly, the companys focus on the environment can help it lead others in pursuing sustainable initiatives. Practices can be improved and changed to ensure that Saudi Aramco stays the leader in the field of innovation.
Threats
The main threat to the business current and future endeavors is the rising interest in renewable energy. If the market changes with the introduction of new affordable renewable sources, Saudi Aramcos position may be devalued. While this shift may not occur quickly, it should not be disregarded as impossible. Rising population levels and depleting reserves of the planet can explain the need for renewable energy sources. Moreover, other countries pursuits to compete in the market of crude oil sales can also decrease the global market share of Saudi Aramco. While this issue is not as significant, it can become a substantial problem in a short period of time if left unacknowledged.
Organizational Marketing Strategy
According to the companys reports, the strategy that Saudi Aramco pursues is based on five main pillars. The first lies in the need to reinforce Saudi Aramcos place in the market for oil and gas production (Saudi Aramco, 2017). Although it is currently considered to be at the top, Saudi Aramco realizes that this position should be maintained (Gharamah et al., 2018). Second, Saudi Aramco aims to diversify their operations and collaborate with other global firms to improve its supply and value chains. It also focuses on sustainable development practices. For instance, the organization contributes to public projects and infrastructure development. Furthermore, it continuously participates in research and technology development to promote innovation. Finally, Saudi Aramco wants to create more jobs and attract more specialists to the sphere of oil development.
Organizational Competitive Strategy
The competitiveness of Saudi Aramco is founded on its strengths and strategies. The company is interested in sustainable practices not only because of their impact on the environment but also their effect on communities and the global market. For instance, its contributions to state-wide initiatives improve the countrys infrastructure and raise the level of Saudi Aramcos trustworthiness and reliability. The organization creates a foundation for other citizens and ensures that its place in the market is secured by both profits and image. Moreover, the contribution of Saudi Aramco in research and development projects also benefits its processes and internal changes (Gharamah et al., 2018). The focus on innovation helps Saudi Aramco to be one step ahead of other firms and present products that correspond with the latest environmentally-friendly mindsets.
Conceptual Framework
One of the main problems the reliance on crude oil is the issue that Saudi Aramco has to address to stay relevant in the market. According to Krane (2015), the company acknowledges its threats and works towards developing this sector into a refining one, thus aiming to change the focus towards less insecure patterns of collaboration with other countries. This strategy, however, is hindered by the fact that oil remains the only possible product that Saudi Aramco can present. The mentioned above threat of the changing market is closely connected to this issue. Nevertheless, as Krane (2015) notes, Saudi Aramcos choice to lower their reliance on crude oil sales is directly influenced by geopolitical effects. Currently, the organization considers the changing market and works to improve its economic strategy.

This past February, I was lucky enough to get selected as a data science intern. It was my first internship experience. I was so excited to experience the professional world, eager to learn new things that will prepare me to become a successful data scientist, but also worried about a few things. Now, after my internship, I felt that It was the best decision I have made. I felt grateful for the ways this internship opportunity expanded my learnings, enhanced my personal and professional skills, and facilitated me to apply my academic knowledge, ideas, and theories to solve real-world problems. This essay reflects the abundance of learning opportunities, skills acquired, and experiences gained throughout my internship.
Data science is one of the most evolving fields of the 21st century. The advancement in technology led to producing a massive amount of data. Data is present everywhere and is the most valuable asset to an organization. As data-driven decisions enable businesses and organizations to increase their profitability, improve their operational efficiency, enhance performance, resolve future challenges, and derive several ways for future development. The numerous application of the data science field made it the demand of every small and big organization. The growing demand produces an abundance of job opportunities in multiple sectors and presents a way to work with different organizations such as the Retail industry, Health sector, Banking, E-commerce, Airline industry, etc. Data Science also requires strong expertise in domain knowledge, programming skills, and mathematics that produced a considerable gap between the demand and supply of data scientists. Data scientist knowing these various disciplines has a lot of opportunities. The ease of hunting jobs, growing demand, highly paid career, and competitive field attracted me towards the field of Data Science.
I was always enthralled with the range of data science real-world applications. I wanted to acquire skills and knowledge that led me towards a successful data scientist. I got admitted as a Master of Data Science student at the University of Melbourne after completing my undergrad in Computer Science. As I was from a computer science background, I had extensive knowledge about different programming languages, but to gain knowledge of the statistical and mathematical concepts, I entered into this course. As data science is a multidisciplinary field that requires expertise in various disciplines such as mathematics, computer science, and statistics. Being a data science student, I studied various subjects such as Statistical machine learning, advanced database management system, knowledge technologies, and various statistical subjects that build my statistical foundation as well as enhanced my programming skills for this field. After one year of my course, I wanted to get hands-on experience on a real-time project, to apply my academic knowledge in a real work environment, analyze my strength and weakness, and to get learn how data science fits into the real world. To get exposure to the corporate world, I started applying for an internship via my university portal and got a wonderful opportunity at Doherty institute.
Working at Doherty institute was an inspiring and rich experience. This organization is a joint venture between The University of Melbourne and The Royal Melbourne hospital. The vision of the Doherty Institute is to improve health globally through discovery research and the prevention, treatment, and cure of infectious diseases. I worked under the department of epidemiology. Organization’s easy-going culture, commitment towards work, and how people were enjoying and involved in their work amazed me the most. Reflecting on the first day of the internship, my supervisor introduced me to the different members of the department, gave me a brief overview of the project, different tasks, and the timeline to complete the project. I also had a workplace tour on the first day. My supervisor was happy for me to contribute as much as I can and was open to any ideas and suggestions. This made me feel more comfortable at work.
The best part of my internship was the project I worked upon, it was an ongoing research project that explores the veterinary practice, diagnosis, and treatment prescription in Bhutan. The goal of this project was to analyze how each syndrome is treated differently in different hospitals. I was intended to work with data from one of the Bhutanese District Veterinary Hospitals and performed various tasks such as data entry, data cleaning, data exploration, data analysis, and data visualization. The thing that excited me most about this project was that it relates to the healthcare sector that was completely a new area, I would get a chance to explore.
To produce great data insights every data science project requires the expertise of the domain knowledge. As I was not familiar with the healthcare sector, asking questions from my supervisor, reading relevant literature from online portals helped me to achieve a clear understanding of the domain and the business problem. The first phase of the project was boring data entry, but it made me familiar with various terms of veterinary infections, diagnosis, and treatments. It also enhanced my excel skills that I rarely worked upon in the university. After having a deep understanding of the domain and completing the data entry part, the next step was the pre-processing of data. Data pre-processing is a data mining technique that is used to transform the raw data into an understandable format. As incorrect and inconsistent data result in producing wrong data insights. I have applied various statistical methods that I have learned in university to identify the missing values, outliers, and duplicates to increase the correctness and consistency of the data. The next step was to aggregate the data based on certain families of the treatments. My supervisor provided me with the list of families and treatments that come under it. To accomplish this, I wrote a lot of regular expressions. Regular expression was used to extract meaningful information from the data by using the string-matching pattern. I have learned the theoretical concept of regular expressions in my knowledge technologies subjects and applying them here helped me to complete this task efficiently and also enhanced my skills.
After the data entry and data cleaning the next step was to explore the data, perform statistical analysis, and visualize the data. I was introduced to a completely new package in R Studio that is tidyverse. Tidyverse package provides various functionalities such as dplyr, ggplot2 for visualization, filter() to filter the data, summarise() to summarize data based on different groups for example summarizing data based on different species. The data was then visualized by using the ggplot2 functionality of the tidyverse and the results were being reported to my supervisor. I enjoyed the initial days as applying what I learned in the university to this real-world project boost up my confidence. Furthermore, the knowledge I gained at the university such as statistical methods, visualization techniques, and different libraries I have worked upon, helped me to produce better results. Over the course of my internship, I have also learned new libraries such as tidyverse in R and became familiar with data visualization software such as Tableau that enhanced my skills for my career.
I have also learned about another important aspect that is data privacy, and how it plays a vital role in the field of data science. As data is a core component of industry and used to produce various meaningful insights but it can be misused hence it is important to protect it. As the clients provide data with certain terms and conditions. I have to delete all the data from the system at the end of the day. I cannot transfer the dataset to my system because of data privacy issues. This made me realize the importance of data more. It became a problem when the COVID-19 happened, and I was asked to work from home due to lockdown, so I took the partial data over the home for further reporting.
Some of the challenges I faced during the internship was to make reasoned judgments and find solutions daily independently. At the start of my internship, I face some challenges with problem-solving like whenever I was unable to implement a method, I always tempted to ask questions rather than solving it by myself, working more on the problem and going through each line of code increased my understanding and with the time problem-solving became more enjoyable. I also learned that a positive attitude towards facing challenges and a keenness to take personal responsibility when seeking a way around the problem is the best way to solve it.
In addition to technical skills, I have significantly developed other soft skills such as communication, time management, networking, and self-discipline. Communication plays a vital role in the professional world. Client meetings, Everyday meeting with the supervisor, small talk with people from different departments enhanced my verbal communication skills. Along with this, I have also analyzed how crucial is non-verbal communication, for example how body language, eye contact matter while communicating at the workplace. Communicating with different people in the workplace helped me to build the connections. Firstly, I was unable to interact more with different people but over the time I learned to start a conversation with small talk, and then asking questions helped me to know more about their interests and work they were doing. I have also added some of them on my LinkedIn that expanded my network. Having lunch and attending seminars helped me to build a network with other people in the workplace. As I was doing the internship in between the semester, planning, and organizing helped me to manage the workload with my ongoing university subjects and projects. Earlier I just had to attend the lectures and work on assignments but with the internship, I have to go to the workplace. In the first week, it was not hectic but with the time it became hectic. As the workload increased, I managed my priorities by dividing the tasks into different categories and then completing tasks based on their priorities. In this way, I did not miss the deadlines and also delivered the project within the deadline. Sometimes some tasks are more time consuming, to complete them, I dropped the tasks that have low priority. Planning and organizing also helped me to keep a balance between my studies, internship, and personal life.
My experience at the Doherty Institute was phenomenal. Began as a newbie to the corporate world of data science. I was excited to learn new things. I discovered a lot about myself that is how to be patient, stay positive, on what skills I have to work more upon, and also about how data science principles can be applied to solve healthcare challenges. It was a different experience from being a student to working as a professional in the industry. Applying what I learned in university increased my confidence and the skills I acquired at the and knowledge I gained at workplace complimented my learnings and enhanced my skills.
I couldn’t have asked for a better internship experience. Working on M.J. Papers helped me to explore real job life and how Corporate HR operates. This has been by far the most interesting and cherished worthy experience of my life.
Identified/Observed in the Organization
This internship has provided me with a wonderful opportunity to acquire practical knowledge, communication skills, negotiation skills, and technical skills. Though it may take some time to polish those skills, at this moment I am confident I to improve them in the future.
First I face some difficulties to match up with the corporate environment and punctuality. But with the dedication of my spirit, I overcome this.
During my internship, I have learned how to write a business letter, how deal with business persons, convincing buyers & sellers. It is difficult to handle so many works in a short span of time. In the beginning, I felt difficulties. But with time and effort now I can compare which solution is suitable for which type of problem. Every tool has some good sides and some drawbacks. We need to choose according to our preferences.
Academic Preparation
In my academics, I have completed several business case studies successfully. But the real-world metaphor is quite different from those scenarios. I obviously have to mention that our honorable faculties have taught us that well based on that we can adapt to any kind of situation. Our academic knowledge mainly helped me to adapt to the situation. In times of case study work I have learned so many new things by myself and obviously from the team.
In my academic program at the university, I have learned the lessons as per the course curriculum. In my university program, there are some courses which were Organizational Behavior, Financial Management, Financial Institutions and Markets, and so on. And from these courses, I can relate some of the things to my internship program.
Personal/Professional
No one can learn professional skills in an academy. When I first started my work, I had no professional skills. I had to face many problems with how to do the work professionally. But the day passes by and I gathered skills and was able to perform the task smoothly. I faced a lot of challenges because of the new environment. But in the end by the grace of Allah, I made it. I must have to mention that our seniors helped a lot in this.
The official time was from 9 AM to 6 PM. My working day was Saturday to Thursday. Everyone has to be very disciplined about time whether it was the question of work completion or starting time or lunchtime. This thing will surely help me in the future.
Lessons learned
When I started my internship at M.J. Papers I was totally new to the environment. But I was enthusiastic to learn about new things. As a fresher, I felt challenges in how this huge chain of client & customer communication is maintained and kept all documentation updated. But day by day I was habituated and felt self-confident. Therefore, it was hard and challenging for me to adapt to this daily routine. Although it is always difficult and challenging to learn new things I think that, I was able to cope with those challenges.
Competencies acquired from the organization
From the learning and experiencing point of view, I can say that I really enjoyed my internship period. From the very first day, I am confident that these 3 months internship program will definitely help me to realize my further career in the job market. All is not so sufficient to measure and express perfectly within this short time of my internship period. But it is a great opportunity for me to get used to real-world job life. I have tried my soul to incorporate the necessary relevant information in my report. During the period of internship, I have tried to learn the art of learning and deliver the knowledge that I have gathered.
My first exposure to professional life through internship has benefited me mostly in strengthening my personal skills. I have developed a positive attitude, and a strong sense of responsibility, being innovative, resourceful, open, and responsive to changes. It has created in me an interest in lifelong learning. M.J. Papers place was very new to me and I have learned different aspects of professionalism from my work experience, greeting clients cordially, smiling, and behaving myself even when I am annoyed or upset.
An individual must know how to behave in the workplace. There is a huge difference between university life and professional life. Everyone should be disciplined in the workplace. There are so many do’s and don’ts at the workplace. This experience is helping me to learn those manners that I can implement in my future career.
Competencies acquired from the University’s internship Program
I would like to express my gratitude to the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) to keep internship credit in the curriculum of the graduation program and give me a scope of tasting the flavor of industry-oriented tasks and the field of work with my interest. I am also grateful to the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) & Office of Placement & Alumni, AIUB to arrange an opportunity for choosing my own interested organization and completing an internship there.
During my academic learning, I learn how to make presentations, lead and manage teams and cooperate with team members, apply research skills, and some knowledge about the software. During our academic program, we get some basic knowledge about this software. So that’s the academic lessons an intern can use in his professional life.
Taking responsibility is another vital lesson that I learned that all liability goes to one person and that person is responsible for that job. So, in my internship program, I learned how to perform my duty with proper responsibility. And it was very much challenging because any fault makes me accept the penalty.
Changes can make humans either immortal or ordinary. In my case, there occurred a radical change in me too. Somehow, I have the power of learning to work exceptionally well. The initiative is one of the most important characteristics. In a company, everybody works in a group, and in each group, every person has his own responsibilities. There is no culture to push anybody to do his or her responsibilities. M.J. Papers is like a family. Whenever I have done any work, I tried to do it with my full efforts. When I faced any problem, I tried to solve them myself and proceed well on my own. I hope that this sort of attitude of mine will help me in the end.
