These first couple weeks have been very different from last years internship. My first day I was put to work immediately as if I had never left. It has been very busy in the office helping everyone out with different tasks. The World Cup win by the US and exit by France (I have a lot of French teammates) has put me in jubilant spirits so right now I am coming to work every day with a huge smile on my face.

Perhaps the 2010 GBS Intern’s parents have told them about The Mama’s and The Papa’s but this coming Monday – June 7th – is a big day for all of them, as they begin their nine-week journey with us. You will be hearing from the 11 first-year intern in the Western States as well as from Tony (in Sacramento) & Rick (in Seattle) who are back for the second year of the program. They will tell you about their experiences, their backgrounds, where they go to school, why they chose the Gallagher internship program and much more.

We hope that will interest you and perhaps get you or someone you know to apply for our 2011 program – it’s never too early to start planning!

One month has finished and it was a great experience. The best part of my month was definitely learning from everyone in the office and getting to know everyone a little more. I was given a nickname last week which is DJ Tony Muffins. That was pretty interesting. The office has been great. The best part of the day is when everyone goes to eat their lunch in the conference room together. I hope July is as much fun as June.

I am a student at the University of Nevada at Reno and I am working at the GBS Branch in Sacramento. Yesterday was my second day at work and so far it has been a great experience. Everyone has been extremely helpful in acclimating me to how things work in the office. There haven’t been any real surprises so far. Yesterday I pulled in my first lead so that was exciting. I am kind of disappointed that there aren’t any water cooler talks, but that is because our office is high tech and use yahoo messenger. Everyone here rocks.
