Special Events Intern
May - August 2018 • Arlington County, VA
What I liked
I enjoyed learning the process of reading contracts and learning every step to planning an event.
What I wish was different
I wish there were more events to work on. There were only 3 events that I worked on.
Advice
During the first week get familiar with all aspects of the office. Therefore when you don’t have an assignment to work on you can find small projects to help the office.

Programs and Marketing Coordinator

What I liked
The opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives. The fulfilling nature of my work
What I wish was different
Lazy co workers make the work unbalanced. If you are motivated and believe in doing well, you carry a lot of the workload
Advice
It’s worth it. Long hours and exhausting. You live in a warzone but you get a chance to travel
