Work readiness skills

I am professional at my place of internship by being there five minutes before we are officially opened to get ready.

I learned that the supervisor really liked that by the time I had set up I was already to start doing my jobs by the time we opened.

I am not too professional due to my nails not being one hundred percent clean and calluses all over my palms. I should probably take care of how my hands look.

Positive:

Honest- Honesty has helped me at my internship in many ways. When I first started my internship, my supervisor asked me about background in baking and working with kids. I was honest and told her that I had no experience in baking, but working with children I did. This helped me because as days went along I was learning how to use the equipment more than handling kids. As a result, now I have experience in both areas. Additionally, I am honest with the hours I do in the internship even If it means more or less hours. 

Professional- Because I work with children, I am told to wear comfortable clothes in which i can move in. I cannot however wear flip flops and i must tie my hair. Ever since my supervisor told me this I have followed through. And I have realized how the choice in clothing can really effect the execution in your work.

Negative

Can communicate effectively- I feel like this area needs improvement because sometimes I'm to shy to ask the children if they need help. But I'll make sure to step out of my shyness and improve my communication skills because it will make me a better intern and a better future employee.
