10/13 assignment

When I am doing what I love, working around airplanes, I see no boring parts to the internship, but there are slow days when we do not have planes to do any work on. There are always areas you can learn in the maintenance arena. Whether it involves stocking the shelves with new supplies, putting inventory into the system, cleaning the oil, or taking the trash out, you still learn how to do all these things through the slow days at the office. You have to know it all, so learning all the aspects of maintenance comes in handy when straightening up.

Social Intelligence

Through reading this article, The First Soft Skill To Develop In Students, you gain the knowledge of what someone is looking for in a first impression meeting. This article also provides you with the definition of social intelligence, and how this can improve relationships with others in the workplace. When you are mentoring somewhere, there are always jobs that you do not like to do, but you are there to work and learn. You may perceive the "dirty work" as punishment from your mentor and have a bad attitude about it, but he can pick this attitude up. We will all face this challenge, but we have to stay positive and willing to do the work. Social intelligence can make or break a working relationship with anyone. It is defined as the ability to negotiate or talk with other co-workers in the work place to solve problems. If you do not with hold this trait a work environment will be very hard dealing for the rest of your life. Your relationships with other workers will be much stronger, and you will be more willing to ask questions about the project you were assigned. The main thing that spoke to me in this article is social intelligence. If you have a problem working on something in the workplace, all of you can bring your ideas together to solve the problem working together. Teamwork is a key term when on the job with others.
