Oceanview!
Fruit Bar Everyday!
Unlimited drinks! Celebrity
Sightings!
Although this sounds like an amazing vacation, these are
just some of the perks provided at my internship this summer!
I am currently interning at a mid-market accounting firm
Berkowitz Pollack Brant in Miami, Florida. This internship is a 7-week rotational internship, in which
I spend 2 weeks in each of the 3 accounting departments- tax, audit, and
forensics. This week wraps up the
end of my time in the tax department.
All of the firm members have been so welcoming and answered all of my
ridiculous questions.
Just in these last three weeks as an intern I have learned a
lot. Some of the most important
lessons I have learned are:
1. Ask Questions
a.
As an intern, the staff does not expect you to
know everything. This is a
learning experience for you.
2. Work Hard
a.
All employers are looking for employees with
strong work ethics.
b.
Always ask if there is something extra you can
work on or help with.
3. Laugh at Your Mistakes
a.
All
employers are looking for employees with strong work ethics. Always ask if there is something extra
you can work on or help with.
b.
It is inevitable that you are going to make
mistakes. So relax and don’t put more pressure on yourself.
4. Learn from your mistakes
a.
The worst thing to do is make the same mistake
over and over again.
Finally,
5. Have fun!
a.
Enjoy the moment and the opportunity provided to
you! Take advantage of everything
that the company has to offer. Go
out to eat lunch with employees.
Meet people from other departments.
I hope you all are having a great summer! I can’t wait to be
back for the fall!
*And to clarify…
- The office does have an oceanview from the main meeting room for the firm. The office is located along Biscayne Blvd.

- The fruit bar is part of the firm’s wellness program. There is always fresh fruit in the
kitchen to promote healthier eating.
And the unlimited drinks are limited to water and coffee. Haha
- The celebrity sightings were during my lunch break on
Monday when I stepped outside our building and watched the Miami Heat
Championship Parade along Biscayne Blvd.
I watched the floats roll by full of family and friends of the oh so
talented Miami Heat players!
