Below is an article written by a former intern, Lorri Drazen. Congratulations to Lorri for her successful completion of her HR
internship and graduation from McCoy College.
My Human Resources Internship
Experience By: Lorri Drazan, B.BA. Texas State University 2016, MLEIP 2016
Before starting with the Human Resources division at the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), I thought my resume
revealed to employers that I was a candidate with “experience.” I
later discovered that I was grossly uninformed of the fact that a
“job” does not equate to “experience.” Since the day I applied to
the Mickey Leland Environmental Internship Program at the TCEQ, I
have accelerated through the recent college grad learning curve. My
goal in securing an internship at the TCEQ was to receive credit for
an elective internship course at Texas State University. What I did
not realize was that I would be mentored and guided through an eye
-opening experience where I would have opportunities to network
with professionals in fields of interest to me, work on projects that
had real impact on the agency and its stakeholders, and develop my
marketable skills.
In addition to professional development and networking
experience, I acquired experiential knowledge that only comes from
hands-on work on real projects and assignments. For instance, while
working closely with TCEQ recruitment and internship coordinator
Juanita Baldwin, I had a leadership role in planning program events
and promoting the Mickey Leland Environmental Internship Program
through information sessions and social media.
My resume reveals that I have professional experience working
in a “real-world” environment. In addition, I am also entering the
working world with marketable skills such as public speaking,
creativity, and problem solving. Not bad for a millennial, huh? Well
no matter what generation you belong to, securing an internship
before, or soon after, obtaining a college degree is tremendously
beneficial to your potential success as an entry-level job seeker and
will help you launch your career.
