I loved the hands-on experience and my boss! She was great, relatable, and personable instead of just a boss. With each step of the process she showed me what she was doing and why. At the end of the summer she even helped me start a portfolio giving me anything she had saved from events to put in it!
What I wish was different
I think time management could have been better. I wasn't always working on something which was fine but sometimes we'd go almost all day without a project. A good part about this also was that my boss would have us do things related to our major/internship for other departments while she was working on things. Overall down time wasn't bad though because I either brainstormed/ researched for events and we a had a project due at the end of the summer which I worked on in my free time.
Advice
Open up! The Cincinnati Magazine office is full of friends and people who will help you out. People know so much and that will help you learn and figure out what's best for what you're working on. Hands down it is a great internship and I learned so much within different subjects of the field I am looking to go into!
