Summary of Internship
A typical day at the Japanese American Society of New Jersey starts with me setting up a classroom so that students who come in may learn Japanese or English. Additionally, I deliver great numbers of mail around the town of Fort Lee, New Jersey to neighboring businesses or companies that have ties to my mentor or the organization. Most of my efforts, however, are assisting my mentor frame or create binding contracts that she presents to her potential clients and coworkers. This is not a responsibility and privilege that I partook in in the first weeks of my internship During my early experiences at the office, my mentor had me analyze and understand the examples of a sufficient and effective contract, and from these I would learn the use of language, whether short or direct, she required In addition, I learned her formatting tendencies and how she liked to view certain pieces of information I mainly observed by scrutinizing my mentor’s activities and she would later include me in her work This required me to apply careful attention to detail and language.
