As a parent, there are moments that fill your heart with pride and a touch of nostalgia. Today, I experienced one of those moments when I saw my son Jake Childers pop up on my LinkedIn feed, celebrating their internship Blue Trust. Watching them grow, learn, and now step into the professional world is incredibly rewarding. It feels like just yesterday they were taking their first steps, and now they’re making strides in their career. This journey has been filled with countless lessons, both for them and for me. Here are a few reflections: 1. Embrace Change: Seeing your child transition from the classroom to the workplace is a reminder that change is constant and growth is inevitable. Embrace it with open arms. 2. Celebrate Small Wins: Every accomplishment, no matter how small, is a step forward. Celebrate these moments to build confidence and momentum. 3. Mentorship Matters: Encourage them to seek mentors and also be one yourself. Sharing experiences and insights can make a significant difference in their journey. 4. Stay Curious: The world is evolving rapidly. Encourage them to stay curious and keep learning, adapting to new challenges and opportunities. 5. Support and Trust: As they embark on their career path, your support and trust in their abilities mean the world to them. Be their biggest cheerleader. To all the parents out there witnessing similar milestones, let’s cherish these moments and continue to guide our children as they make their mark in the world. And to Jake Childers, I couldn’t be prouder of you. Here’s to many more achievements and learning experiences ahead! 🌟 #ProudParent #NextGeneration #InternshipJourney #ProfessionalGrowth #Milestones

Now that the 3rd week of my Charles Schwab Client Services internship is wrapping up 👩💼, I can hardly believe how much I’ve learned in such a short time. 📚 Kudos to the Aspiring Talent Academy (ATA)—led by the supremely talented John Sullivan—for integrating me into Schwab so quickly! 🤩 From Friday to Tuesday, I took calls from Schwab clients 📞, delighting them with passion, integrity, and relevant information. 🤝 Every time I: 🔐 Reset a password, 📱 Navigate a client to the correct tab, 👋 Transfer them to the proper department, or 🗣️ Build rapport with them, I ensure that Schwab can help them build a brighter financial future. 🌄 After all, the foundation of every financial services company is trust. 🏦 If clients don’t trust you to authenticate everyone who attempts to access their account 😠, they likely won’t pay you for financial advice. 😴 Additionally, I began studying for the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam, my 1st step toward becoming a fully qualified broker. 💵 I’m grateful for Charles Schwab’s robust training program, which emphasizes real-world application and accountability. 🖥️ Finally, a very special thank you to the employees who guided me through my 3rd week: 🙏 Samuel Jackson: Thanks for all your fantastic suggestions during and after my calls – especially your tip about taking handwritten notes to fully comprehend the client’s situation. 🙏 Dalia Sabir: Thanks for letting me watch as you took calls! It was a great introduction to the immense impact that brokers have on Schwab clients. 🙏 Melissa Synowicki-Bruner: Thanks for leading the SIE certification program! Your emphasis on consistent, engaged learning empowers us to build solid career foundations. 🙏 Chelsey Sleator: Thanks for interviewing me about my LinkedIn activity! I’m thrilled that last week’s intern recap post engaged so many Schwab employees and bolstered its great brand. Stay tuned for next week’s intern update 📆 – and thank you for your authentic engagement! 😁 #Schwablife #OwnYourTomorrow #OneSchwab #Schwab4Good #Schwintern #ATA
We are excited to introduce the first edition of our intern spotlight series, where we will highlight a few of our wonderful interns. Today we spotlight Adam Messman from University of Nebraska-Lincoln who is a valuable member of our actuarial department this summer. We asked Adam a few questions about his journey with us: Q: What do you like the most about working at F&G? A: The people. From working with my manager to other interns to full-time employees, I have loved interacting with everyone that I have met, even if they were remote. Q: What is your favorite project you have been involved with so far this summer? A: My favorite project is working to test and review an actuarial assumption. Of course, this project had a steep learning curve, but I enjoy taking on challenges and seeing how the work I am doing will impact various aspects of the company in the future.
