Communications Intern

September 2017 • Milwaukee, WI

What I liked

Being the only intern, I was sort of forced to teach myself a lot of things and it really helped me grow and know what to do if ever I don't know something. It really increased my sense of independence.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had the opportunity to be mentored by someone who was in the field that I plan to be in so that I could learn more from someone else in a more direct manner.

Advice

Be an active listener, always ask how you can help out especially if you've finished all of your work that was assigned - be proactive, it's a good look.
