Starting my second quarter of my DAC internship is polar opposite from last quarter. Instead of doing ten credits, I am only doing five and instead of shadowing William, I am doing a lot more office work. It's nice actually because the lawyers in the office leave me a list of things to do and I do them, without having to report to them. It's nice to have the trust in the office to just get things done on my time and it helps me feel more productive. The work load is important because I am updating contact information, that will make things run more smoothly in the future. It also allows clients who are not contacted on a regular basis to get some attention.
One instance when I talked to let me know that their social worker had not been very helpful in letting them know about their services. After I talked to them, I contacted their social worker and the social worker let me know that they did not have any contact information for them and I was able to relay that to them. This internship has been teaching me how to keep good records and how to communicate with people to help make things more productive in the work place.
