Intern: Saad Munaf
While working on your college degree, internship can be an important
part of that journey. Internship is mostly a semester long, where you
work for a company and gain experience. I got an internship at Nextera energy/ FPL as a Business Management
Intern. I am assigned to work with the AMI(Advanced Metering Infrastructure) team, which is the latest
meter reader technology for houses, small business etc.
Day 1
I left my house at around 7, and thought that I would reach the office
easily since I had a GPS. Unfortunately, my GPS took me to a residence
community (I was pretty sure I wasn't going to work at a home office).
So I called up my manager, Mr Tony and he told me that I wasn't far away from
the place, but atleast 3 miles away. When I got to the office, my
manager told me that for some reason, the office does not show up on
google maps, GPS.
The rest of the day, I completed an online tour of the company,
completing my direct deposit and all that good stuff, then my manager
explained me the AMI technology, gave me an overview of the company,
told me about some assignments he had in mind for me, and sent me to
the General Office in Miami to take a picture for my employee ID. My
manager also told me that I am going to receive a laptop to do all my
work (Fortune 500 perks).
Day 2
Today, I found out that I am going to be working with the deployment team.
As me and my supervisor were having a conversation about the AMI, he
told me that one of the reasons I was selected as an intern, was
because during my interview I was prepared and did research on the AMI
technology (so guys make sure you do your research when you are going
for an interview). Also my manager told me that I will go check out
what happens on the field (how the technicians install the AMI meters) this Thursday or Friday, so I'm looking
forward to that.
