Important things from this internship

Where were the most important things you learned from this internship? Look back to your first blog. Did you meet your initial goals? Why or why not?

Learn stewardship from this internship:
    1. Integrity: need accurate number and careful with calculation.
    2. Produce: need to read 400 Arizona Revised Statues to find out which will impact the activities of office.
    3. Accountability: need to be accountable to understand the detail of every activity.

I think I already meet the initial goal and really satisfied with the internship experience.

What are the strengths of your organization



What are the strengths of your organization? If you were in charge of a similar organization, are there any thing you would do differently?
The strengths of my organization:

1.      There are six divisions of the office and the responsibility of each division is very clear.

2.      The SharePoint created by the IT division make the work much more efficient and easy for every managers to track their work process.

3.      Since one of my organization’s main tasks is collect property tax in the county, thus the quality of customer service is so important for the office. They have a detailed service manual to direct the cashiers how to offer a good service for the public.

If I was in charge of a similar organization, I don’t think I will do something differently. Since this is a government office, it is not easy to change the way they do or how they operate. But if that is possible, I may want to change the decoration of the office. I may let the office have more colors and make the office looks full of vitality if I have the budget…

Career Service


 

On May 25th, I attended the career conference hold by ASU in downtown phoenix.

The first thing I want to say is that I am so glad they had a photography service there and finally I got an professional photo for my LinkedIn, although I am not pretty in that photo.

There were almost 50 organizations in that conference and most of them were government and nonprofit organizations.  Since my major is public administration, it was really a good conference for me to have a talk with the recruiter of those organizations. But as an international student, I was a little disappointed because most of the organizations only open to U.S citizens.  

Anyway, this career service afforded me a lot of career information and I think I will definitely go again.

Jiuzhaigou Valley

Last summer, I went back to China and had a really good trip with my parents! There is a very famous valley, called Juizhagou Valley. The river and water can be six to seven colors.

This place actually full of the Tibetan nationality and I really like their own costumes!
