This week we welcomed 80 summer interns into our Capital Markets business, representing the top 1% selected from over 6,000 applicants! Some of my most valuable experiences came from my internships, shaping not only my professional life but also my personal journey. During my first one at Arthur Andersen (at the time part of the Big 5!), I discovered two things: that public accounting wasn't for me, but that I had a passion for client management. This realization allowed me to shift full focus to business and finance. The following summer, my interest in technology and finance was sparked during my Hewlett-Packard internship, but I realized I was seeking a more entrepreneurial environment. The final piece of the puzzle was my first job, a short run at tech start-up ReplayTV at the end of the tech boom in ‘99. This was followed by a great opportunity at a high growth start-up, Good Technology. However, I ultimately decided tech was not my passion and shifted my sights to commercial real estate. With the invaluable support of my mentors at Good Technology (thanks Danny Shader, Joel Jewitt), I wrapped up my role there and moved to Dallas to pursue CRE. Without these formative experiences, I wouldn't have discovered my passion, and it’s why I love welcoming new interns to our program at JLL. I hope this experience helps them find their passion and shapes their future as profoundly as my internships shaped mine. #jllcapitalmarkets #internship #future #personaldevelopment #passion

Are you too busy to hire interns and train them? You'll lose out in the long run. Ok, hear me out - interns are a future investment in your business. You are building a workforce that lives and breathes your brand. Remember the movie "The Intern" in which the lead character played by Anne Hathaway builds a business that fuels her fire due to an intern? It wasn't all wrong. Interns or apprentices are energetic and more inclined toward learning new things and if you invest your time in them now, you will reap the rewards later. Trust me on this. Do you have any interesting intern stories to share? Share them with me in the comments below. #interns #business #smallbusinesstips #financeops
