Classroom Support Technician
August 2017 • Logan, UT
What I liked
The schedule was predictable but flexible - the shift was every weekday from 8am to 5pm, but I could take as many days off as I wanted. In addition, it was the place I had been working all school year, so I knew how the job worked, I knew all the people, but I did get to learn a little more about the technology and installation.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have been paid more, besides the increase in hours. I felt like the things I did most days were worth more than $9/hr.
Advice
I'm not sure I need to share any advice. Working the summer did end up giving me a raise for this semester, but I don't think I really have any advice.

Irrigation Technician
April 2018 - August 2019 • Kaysville, UT
What I liked
My boss was wonderful! Great at teaching me the skills I needed to perform exceptionally. I loved that work was close to home. It allowed me an easy commute. Another great factor was the flexibility of the job. I did not have to have a set schedule, I was allowed flexible time and only had to meet my hours each week. Lastly, I loved the people and work environment. It's located in a botanical gardens center and the other workers there really wanted to be there. It made a huge difference on my attitude every day.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have had more say on certain things regarding decisions made at the botanical center. I was not a manager though so it was not surprising.
Advice
Do not be afraid to get your hands dirty and always work hard. It's a fun place to see the fruit of your labor.

I love the flexibility of my summer internship. I loved that I was able to work up to 40 hours one week and 29 the next week and that I could choose the hours I worked. The laxity in my schedule made for a very enjoyable and memorable summer while still being able to hold a good job and earn some great money.
