I recently went to a Rose Cafe hosted by Mary Opperman about succeeding in the workplace. She listed a many pet peeves that supervisors have about the people who work under them, as well as the ways we could avoid or solve those problems. One of the topics that she recommended that we do was to check up with our supervisors if we had a project in order to make sure that were going in the correct direction. These tips were really informative as I begin applying to internships this year.

Another point that she discussed was that an individual should enjoy and be interested in what they’re working on. She explained that many people in the workforce are not satisfied with their jobs, as they aren’t doing what they like doing. Through this experience, I have learned a lot about what not do to do annoy my future supervisors, as well as how to resolve conflicts that will inevitably come up as I enter the workforce.
