I will be a senior at Rockhurst next fall. This summer I
have the opportunity to work as an intern at Wells Fargo Advisors. I was very
much looking forward to this internship because I have a very keen interest in
finance, investing and I am thinking about pursuing a career in investment. The most amazing thing about the internship
is the amount of knowledge I have learned. My day starts at 9:00AM and ends at
3:30PM. I do a variety of things from answering calls, making appointments,
attending luncheons and meetings with other financial wholesalers or investment
firms, to market research and analysis. Usually, I ended up taking a portion of
research and work home with me. Although the amount of work is large, the
reward is incredible. I have learned so much about investing and the way
businesses are conducted. I would
encourage other finance students to take advantage of this opportunity and
apply for this internship. They would benefit a lot from being able to work and
learn from real and professional investors.
A tip I would provide to my peers is to start applying for these internships early. People always say the early bird gets the worm. Starting the application process early and then following up is the key. Besides the opportunity to apply what you have learned in finance in a real environment, this internship has provided me with great opportunity to meet people and start making connections. Those are also very important elements to getting a job.
One thing I learned about myself is that I need to balance my workload better. There are several occasions where I feel completely exhausted. That would have been avoided if I had paced myself and taken breaks between work and research. Three weeks in the internship, I have already had the opportunity to learn and formulate my own investment strategy. I am very excited to see how my theory will apply to the current market environment. The next 5 weeks will be very intense but I am very excited and look forward to it. - anonymous student

Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
