Evaluation
- I am really grateful for the opportunity that they gave me especially now that I know that they don't usually take people for internship.
- I realized that when you go work for someone the job isn't the only thing that matters, what also matters is your colleagues that you sit beside with every single day.
Other materials
I am truly grateful to doing my internship at Seawaves N.V. I learned allot at Seawaves N.V. and I hope that if they decide to accept another student from Colegio E.P.I. I really hope that the student does his best because I know that I did my best and I set a good example for the students of Colegio E.P.I.
A couple of tips are:
- Always on time
Communicate with your colleagues
Always have respect
Work hard on the work that they give you
