Love this self-reflection prompt from Chick-fil-A Corporate Support Center. Sharing my thoughts below, and would love to hear yours! --- In my first job, a skill I learned that still serves me today is... the value of adaptability. Early in my career, interning with eSports & convention marketing campaigns, I quickly realized that no event or project ever goes exactly as planned. Whether it was resolving unexpected issues like a tardy vendor or finding creative solutions on the fly, expecting the unexpected made all the difference. The fast-paced environment and long hours of the event world have taught me that success often times comes from anticipating needs and taking decisive action quickly. How you react to the curveballs thrown your way is a critical aspect of quality success and leadership. These lessons in adaptability and proactive problem-solving have not only shaped my professional journey but also enriched my personal life. Despite all our planning, we never 100% know what’s coming next - and that unpredictability is what makes the journey exciting! Remember to embrace change with an open mindset and take initiative where you can today! #EarlyCareer #SkillDevelopment #Adaptability #InternshipSeason

Interesting WSJ article about the value of internships. My UCSC Silicon Valley Extension course will explore the Compensation Value of various internships from the employee and employer perspective.

How many internships did you do? My 16 year old son will be doing 10-12 mini internships this school year. They are called "Schnupperwochen" and I'm in love with the idea. The Swiss school system has its flaws. One of which is they push kids very young to decide what they want to do as careers. But if you aren't sure at 16, they have this option: Half school, half internships. It should be amazing, and American school and businesses should consider the option. Maybe not as dramatic as a whole school year worth of them, but facilitating mini internships with high school students. It would benefit everyone. https://lnkd.in/g9y2pr8y

Interesting insights with Washington Post Live regarding internships. Too often we only look at a junior in college to hire for an intern. With higher education's journey changing so much, so too should company's strategy when it comes to hiring interns. If you're waiting until they are a junior in college - we say that's too late.
