Key data<\/h4>\n

Job description:<\/strong> Dietician
\nCompany:<\/strong> Styrian health insurance organisation (StGkk)
\nOrt:<\/strong> Graz, Austria
\nI did my internship from 26 May to 26 June 2015. <\/p>\n

What I did:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Giving and documenting nutritional advice about weight reduction, diabetes, high blood pressure and food intolerances<\/li>\n
  • Holding talks and workshops (internal\/external) such as training diabetic patients, workshops at kindergartens and secondary schools across Styria (classes 1\/2), workshops as part of the ‘Eating right from the start’ (REVAN) campaign about pregnancy\/breast-feeding\/supplements and help with preparations<\/li>\n
  • Research activities<\/li>\n
  • Listening in during consultations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Why I enjoyed my internship:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • The extremely wide range of activities – every day was different and exciting. The best part of the internship were the school lessons. <\/li>\n
    • Fantastic team – I have rarely(!) experienced anything like it before. I felt valued and integrated well into the team.<\/li>\n
    • I was allowed to do whatever I wanted (consultations, independently running workshops, accompanying colleagues to school\/kindergarten)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What I learned:<\/h4>\n
        \n
      • How to develop workshops for the target group of children\/young people<\/li>\n
      • How to handle difficult personalities, whether during the consultation or during talks<\/li>\n
      • 150 % preparation – to be equipped to handle all questions<\/li>\n
      • I experienced how challenging ‘teaching’ can be. I was drained after a four hour workshop. I have great respect for teachers now!<\/li>\n
      • I learned where my own boundaries lie and now I know better what to expect of myself. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        My biggest success\/My greatest experience:<\/h4>\n

        Every day was a great experience – the ‘REVAN’ workshops were very valuable and it was great to visit the kindergarten and school.<\/p>\n

        How I secured the internship:<\/h4>\n

        Ms Carstensen and Ms Klampfl from the StGkk health insurance organisation gave a talk on the REVAN workshops. It was there that I asked Ms Carstensen directly about an internship – and that’s how I got on board. <\/p>\n

        What I want to do in the future:<\/h4>\n

        I would like my future workplace to be like this one – I can totally recommend this internship to anyone.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
