A few weeks ago, I concluded a brief yet enlightening internship at Deloitte. This internship took place in a field that was relatively unfamiliar to me. To be honest, before joining, I held doubts about my capacity to perform well in the role due to my limited prior knowledge. I'd like to share a couple of insights I gained, which might prove beneficial for people in a similar situation.
Firstly, the initial days always involve a set of mandatory courses or training sessions. There's no need to be anxious about lacking an extensive background, as they cover all the necessary information to ensure a comfortable experience.
Secondly, I discovered the value of asking clarifying questions. At the start, I hesitated to raise queries, fearing that my superiors might perceive me less favorably. However, this concern was merely an overthought. My reluctance to ask questions had negative consequences initially, but as I persisted in my internship and began to seek clarity, my overall experience became much smoother.
Thirdly, it's crucial to maintain a passion for learning new things. My colleagues often used industry-specific jargon and terminology that I couldn't initially grasp, given my non-specialized background. Nevertheless, I made an effort to jot down these terms and research them later. With time, I gained confidence in using these terms effectively.
I'd like to thank Abdelrazig M and Pascale Nasr Gemayel for all the support and encouragement that they had offered me throughout, I will always be grateful. I'd also like to thank Ali Wehbi for always offering me assistance whenever I needed.
