Thank you

While in my couple of weeks at ON Semiconductor as a CSR intern, I wanted to say the following to my supervisor:

I wanted to thank my supervisor for providing me the invaluable opportunity of interning at ON Semiconductor as a CSR intern since May, 2015. While I had dreamed of landing a CSR role within a company, I never initially thought I had the right type of experience or credentials for the position. Luckily, my supervisor saw something in me when first reviewing my resume and finally speaking with me during the interview.

My supervisor has not only been a manager who I have reported to but also a mentor who I've learnt a great deal from. One thing I am most thankful for is the encouragement and confidence that my supervisor has provided me. Through the opportunities afforded, I've become a much more confident and effective public speaker. Prior to this May, I used to be terrified of speaking to both smaller and larger groups of people, especially if those in the audience were more experienced. My supervisor, however, allowed me to present in front of various other employees within the company including the CEO. Knowing how nervous I was, though, she spent about an hour with me prior to the presentation just so I could rehearse.

Besides building my confidence, my supervisor has also allowed me learn so much about the CSR field. I've been placed on several different projects involving sustainability reporting, volunteer time off, and corporate giving. In regards to corporate giving, rather than just facilitating a program that she designed, I was provided the independence to both create and run the programs myself. This shows the level of trust my supervisor has in me, and I am thankful for that.

Lastly, I am extremely grateful for the full time position I will be starting at ON Semiconductor in January, 2016. I am glad that my supervisor saw the potential in me to grow from an intern to a full time staff. I look forward to continuing to work within a CSR capacity at ON Semiconductor and hope that I can add significant value to the company.
