Flexibility and effective use of
communication are important les
sons an accounting internship can
teach students, sev eral former interns
interns from the Colege of Business
Administration said Tuesday.
Three students and two faculty
members talked to about 30 people
on the value and methods of obtain
ing business internships in a panel
discussion.
Terri Svoboda, senior accounting
major, spent January through August
in San Jose, Calif., as an intern for
IBM. She said that the one thing she
learned during her internship was
how to be flexible under minimal
management. She said, however,
that even before being selected as
an intern, she learned not to fear
rejection. She said that even if a
person isn't hired, there is still a lot
to learn from interview, letters and
phone calls with companies as a
person goes through the interview
process.
Business graduate student Mike
Roe worked as an intern for Amoco
Oil Company in Tulsa, Okla. Roe
said living on his own and living in
the real world for a while were two
valuable experiences. Also, he said,
he learned a different perspective
on business communication.
"I felt that I even had to prepare
myself thoroughly for just a tele
phone conversation," he said.
Presenting a more local aspect of
an internship, Paul Becker, a senior
accounting major, worked for one of
the eight largest accounting firms
in the United States Deloitte,
Haskins and Sells of Omaha. Becker
said he shared Roe's view that busi
ness communication was a lot more
important than he thought before
doing his internship.
"I learned just how important it
is to know when to talk sports or
when to talk about the business,"
he said.
With both state and national
intern opportunities available, Mil
dred Katz, UNL coordinator of exper
imental education, said that there
has been good feedback from busi
nesses who have had interns.
"About 90 percent of those stu
dents who intern for a business are
asked to come back to be hired full
time," she said.
