Internship For The Summer
April 18, 2010
It has been relatively crazy in the past month or so trying to figure out all of the arrangements regarding my trip, but it all worked out as I booked my flight recently and made some living arrangements for my upcoming stay in Israel. I now have a few loose ends such as perhaps getting a cell phone and figuring out the best way to get to work as well as a few other things, but these are minor and I’ll just deal with all of it when I’ll get to Israel.
I am really excited for my internship at Thomson Reuters this summer, which is as stated by the company’s website: “The world’s leading source of intelligent information for business and professionals”. Thomson Reuters provides industry expertise combined with innovative technology in order to provide critical information which is then used by ‘decision makers’ in the financial, legal, tax and accounting, healthcare, science and media markets.
I can’t wait to start my internship at the company’s main office in Tel-Aviv, Israel. I am mainly excited about the fact that I will be given a rare opportunity as I will be able to be a part of a company which is known worldwide and in many aspects sets the bar for many of its competitors.
I also recently had a conversation with Mr. Yosef Kaplan, which is the VP of Corporate Sales in Israel, Greece, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania & Macedonia at Thomson Reuters Markets. After talking to Mr. Kaplan, which is also going to be my boss, my role at Thomson Reuters will include a collection of different tasks, which will cover many business related aspects, mainly involving research and financial analysis, resource management as well as sales. I am very excited for the summer as the job sounds like one that I would really benefit a lot from.
Also, one last thing for which I am really excited about is the fact that I get to go back home after two years (since I arrived to Michigan) that I have not seen my family.
