Showing initiative in the workplace

Showing initiative in the workplace is a prime reason why people receive promotions, get raises, and, in the case of interns, receive offers of full-time employment. In a 2-3 page APA-style paper, address the following. Support your work as appropriate with citations and references. 

Describe 2-3 actions that you have taken in your internship workplace that demonstrated your initiative.  
Have you offered to do something above and beyond your normal duties? Have you figured out a better way to do a common task? How did your supervisor or coworkers respond to your effort?  
If you have difficulty identifying ways in which you have shown initiative, you may instead describe the performance of a co-worker or supervisor in your workplace who is a good example of a person who shows initiative and puts forth extra effort.
Identify some extra ways you might do your job more efficiently. These suggestions could be tasks that require higher-level skills than your job description requires.

Please plan to turn in your work ahead of time to avoid any technical issues or high volumes of online and TurnItIn traffic.
