William Parkinson

Majored in Physics
Knox College, Class of 2020
From Glencoe, IL
I hold the personal belief that (due to the relatively privileged circumstances I was born into) there is not excuse for me not to be a success. My current purpose is to invest my time into learning skills and knowledge that will help me in my future career. I am looking for a summer internship to prove my worth and gain hands-on experience. I strive to become an asset to any company that hires me. My philosophy is that no matter what I am doing, I might as well work to be the best that I can be at that position. When I work as a waiter, despite it not exactly being related to my field of interest, I strive to be the best waiter. Due to my interest in both Art and Science, and my liberal arts education, I possess various lenses in which to see the world. This facilitates originality in my ideas and problem-solving solutions. I also have been in multiple leadership roles and am comfortable speaking with larger groups and individuals. Besides the obvious rewards that come with an internship, (i.e: gain experience, connections, and knowledge) I hope to become an integral part of whatever the company is working on and have my presence add something.

Server at Skokie Country Club
For a summer job I worked as a server at Skokie Country Club. My job mainly consisted of the traditional tasks of a waiter. I served powerful and successful people and obtained seeds wisdom from some of these individuals. During my time at the Club I learned from numerous members about their origins and was inspired by their successes.
