Before starting my internship at Brickley DeLong, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Like many other students, I’ve heard of the typical internship stereotypes; that interns only do busywork, spend their days getting coffee for the office, or simply watching from afar just to be able to add experience to their resume. I assumed it would be somewhat of the same here.
Those expectations changed my very first week.
Instead of being on the sidelines, I was immediately involved in hands on activities and working on real audits throughout Oceana County. I became part of a team that trusted me with meaningful work while providing me with the guidance I needed to learn and grow.
What stood out the most was the people. Whenever I had a question or a concern, someone was always willing to take the time to help me understand not only what to do, but why it mattered.
As time went on, I realized that I wasn’t counting the days until I had to go back to school. Instead, I was wishing the internship would continue. Brickley DeLong quickly became a place where I genuinely enjoyed coming to work, learning from those around me, and being part of the team.
Before this internship, I wondered whether accounting was the career I wanted to pursue long term. Classroom experiences can only partially answer that question. Working alongside the professionals at Brickley DeLong gave me the answer I was looking for. This internship not only strengthened my accounting skills, but also confirmed that accounting is the career I want to pursue.
If you are considering an internship, don’t underestimate how much the right place can shape your confidence, skills, and career path.
