YOU INTERNED AT AN ACCOUNTING FERM It's time to think, reflect and take stock as things wind down. Think back to your objectives and expectations.  Essentially, was the internship what you thought it would be?  Think about your experiences and what you learned.  You might look at how your job changed over the weeks, if you progressed as an employee and/or as part of the organizational team, and if you developed in your intern role.  Whether you are excited or saddened to be ending your internship, you have experienced valuable lessons.
