FROM THE COEDITORS: Many MSHROD students are seeking learning experiences through internships. We appreciate Ernie’s willingness to share his experiences with you and hope that this encourages everyone to consider such opportunities. Opportunities come when you least expect them! My internship with Kestly Development, working under Mike Kestly, began in just that way as I networked at the annual College of Business Alumni Conference. Kestly Development is a 16yearold Organizational Development and Human Resource information, assessment and training company. Kestly Development helps organizations increase retention of key people, prepare succession plans, enhance engagement, improve customer service, increase sales and help managers develop their skills. Winter 2016 MSHROD Newsletter Page 17 of 20 In the past 18 months, my work with Mr. Kestly has been a neverending learning adventure. My very first work experience involved attending the annual MiSHRM Conference as an exhibitor. Running a booth and networking with fellow HR professionals who worked in various fields helped to clarify the direction I wanted to pursue within the MSHROD program. Active job shadowing opportunities with Kestly Development clients allowed for firsthand experience in examining, interpreting and applying assessment tools while searching for the best job candidates for varyious positions. Previously I had envisioned a traditional focus of HR and the administrative work that accompanies it. Yet through interactions with several professional consultants, I have reimagined my future career path to find a direction that may better fit my interests. I believe that my internship was unique. Kestly Development sponsors and works with two educational workshops in Washtenaw County: Executive Briefings and the Leadership A2Y 2.0. Executive Briefings take place on a bimonthly basis, covering a wide range of topics from succession planning to retaining millennials. Leadership 2.0, run by the Chamber of Commerce, conducts assessments and brings in successful professionals to discuss topics such as Crisis and Change Management. Even with minimal professional experience, I was able to participate in each of these lectures based on my MSHROD program coursework. During one lecture on job descriptions, for example, I applied the fundamentals of job analysis from Staffing taught by Dr. Camp, leading to constructive and productive breakout sessions in the leadership program. These lectures also covered topics that have been relevant to core class requirements in the MSHROD program. Sometimes a different perspective is necessary to fully understand course material; having the opportunity to apply what I learned in class through this internship strengthened that understanding. Training and development of employees is something that I have identified as my passion through these internship experiences. My internship with Mike Kestly has helped to solidify my career goals and expanded my own interests within the MSHROD program. Through the experience gained from my internship, I was able to select electives that would benefit my future career options. If not for this symbiotic relationship between my education and internship, I would not have refined my aspirations to those that I have today. It has been a lifechanging experience that I will always treasure. The Award Winning EMU SHRM student chapter has been very busy with planning program meetings, workshops, tours and giving back to the community.
