Guest Advocate

May - August 2019 • Coralville, IA

What I liked

I enjoyed the people I got to meet from the experience and the opportunity to learn what it meant to work for a larger company

What I wish was different

Communication was very hard because there were so many advisors. Also, at the time of my employment, the computer system for their workers were down. It was very hard to communicate when I needed time off or the dates I could work.

Advice

If you need a summer job and a little more bang for your buck, it is worth it. You just have to be ready to be busy. Also, Iowa City traffic was a struggle for me.

Assistant Store Manager

July 2020 • Los Angeles, CA

What I liked

I liked the opportunity that I had to learn from all my mentors that taught me how to be an effective executive and strong leader. My HR rep taught me how to be a professional in the workplace and how to lead my team.

What I wish was different

I wish my internship would have been longer. It was supposed to be 10 weeks but was postponed by 4 weeks because of the pandemic. However, they did offer me an extended internship for the holiday break and a full-time offer for after college. I am super thankful for everything that I experienced in this program.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share about this experience is learn to think high scope and understand the extensive purpose of the decisions you make in the workplace. That helped my professional development tremendously.
