My Internship at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP

Bridget Leslie, Western University

Abstract

In this presentation, I reflect on my experience as a Summer Student Administrator for Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP where I acquired skills such as proficiency in various software and data analysis as well as professional communication, confidence, and organization. I applied these skills daily to produce quality work, and I am still applying these skills to my academic and personal life almost a year later. The culminating experience of the summer was presenting my own data analysis to a group of executives, which helped me improve my presentation skills and foster confidence in my own abilities. In addition to making valuable connections, I became more comfortable with networking. Overall, I was able to acquire both hard and soft skills, as well as improve my confidence and communication abilities, which will be extremely valuable to my career pursuits.
