My “Engage-ful” Experience


                Being a student who is fresh out of high school with limited professional work experience let alone HR experience, it is safe to say that I was terrified coming to ENGAGE as a summer student. However, I was lucky enough that I had the opportunity to work with extremely accomplished, talented, and funny people.  Over the last two months, each day has been a learning experience for me. I have learned that there is much more to the HR field than what is defined in the textbooks.  
Client satisfaction is ultimately put first at ENGAGE, even if that means staying in the office past 6:00 pm, the ENGAGE team works with extreme dedication and commitment to their work.  Even while working with such accomplished people I was always included in all the activities that went around the office and I was always given updates about the projects.  I was treated with respect and everyone had an open mind to my questions and opinions.  Regardless of knowing that I am a complete amateur, my seniors put a lot of trust and confidence in me and I truly appreciated that. It was because of this trust and confidence that I took each very day seriously and worked to my absolute best.  One of the best things about ENGAGE is that the team cares. This created more of a team feeling rather than a competition or race.  
Now that my time has come to an end, it is more of a bitter feeling than it is sweet.  Two months later I have come out of ENGAGE with priceless knowledge, an unforgettable experience and valuable relations with a group of amazing individuals and I cannot wait until I am back at ENGAGE!
