Hello everyone!
My name is Amanda Lindsey and I will be a Junior this Fall. I was interested in doing an internship this summer because my major is still somewhat "undecided" - I'm torn between Accounting and Finance. I wanted to gain some kind of business-related job experience as well as the opportunity to see what it would be like to work full-time in an office in my field of study. Luckily for me, the Accounts Payable office at Linfield hired me as their summer intern!
I've been interning at Accounts Payable for about a month now, doing basic clerical work, reconciling statements, vouchering invoices, processing check requests, etc. I think that these responsibilities have been helping me to gain a better understanding of what a basic, entry-level accounting position might be like and a better idea of what accounting is by being able to apply things I've learned in the classroom to an actual "real world" scenario. Although I've been doing similar things working in Accounts Payable during the school year, I've still got a lot of learning to do. I find myself learning more and more of less and less each and every day.
