Hello
Everyone!
My name is Payton Reardon, and I am the summer intern for the
Indiana State Personnel Department (SPD). I am from Avon, Indiana and have
lived in Indiana for about 13
years. I will be a junior at Indiana University this coming fall, majoring in
Human Resource Management with a minor in Business. I plan to graduate May of 2018 and pursue a career
in Human Resources. After I finally locked down my major in HR, this past year
was when I really grew a passion for HR and started searching for internships.
I found this summer internship opportunity through the School of Public and
Environmental Affair’s career website. What really attracted me to this
internship was all the different projects and departments in HR I would be
exposed to. During my interview I learned more about the projects I would be doing and the culture I
would be exposed to, and I decided it was the perfect summer job for me.
Looking back at my first two weeks I
am amazed at how much I have already learned. Within the first week of this
internship I had the opportunity to have multiple meet and greets with the
different directors within SPD
and learn about what they do. By the second day I already had my first recruiting
project in the Talent Acquisition division. During the first two weeks, I also
had the opportunity to job shadow the Employee Relations and Benefits division,
and through that I was able to meet their teams and learn about their
day-to-day schedules.
In the two weeks I have been
interning at SPD, I already feel like I have learned so much. It has been
satisfying to be able to use what I have learned in classes and bring that
knowledge into a real world experience. I am beyond excited to see what other
opportunities I will have throughout the summer as I continue with my internship.
