I anticipate that my ability to take notes will be key to my
success at Atlassian. I‘ve met with my team already and based on what has been outlined
to me, I will be training for the first 3 weeks of my internship. Right now the
biggest thing on my mind is “how I can get hired”. Atlassian is a largely
successful company with offices all over the world. Last year Atlassian grossed
over 100 million dollars in revenue, and even though Atlassian is so success
full it still has a start-up feel, that certain Je ne sais pas. I know that working in a contemporary environment
like Atlassian will have a lot of temptations, free alcohol, casual dress
codes, and a predominantly young group of colleague’s. I will be relying on my pros
kills to keep myself in check. I have committed to not wearing jeans,
continuing to wear ties, and meticulously grooming for the duration of my
internship. I know that one can only stand out in a good way for dressing up in
a manner that is greater than expected. I have become accustomed to dressing professionally,
it is a reflection of who I have become, and I like it.
Hey Virgil. Congratulations on your internship. You are going to do well.
ReplyDeleteRemember to keep the professional attitude and your knowledge of tech up to date.
It has been a pleasure having you in my classes. Please let me know if you have any questions, I am always online to help you out if I get the chance, (When I'm not playing World of Warcraft., on second thought, if you did roll a character on my server I could probably help you while doing quests..haha)
Keep me up to date on your progress.
Good luck!
P.S. Don't join on all the social committees at your internship site....just yet....:)
