UW Credit Union

Talent Acquisition Intern

January - September 2022 • Madison, WI

What I liked

The people at the Credit Union were great, I was able to get a lot of hands-on experience with recruiting, conducting exit interviews, being exposed to the compensation system, the diversity initiatives that were going on, and the community giving with United Way. I loved their flexibility with work hours, the type of work that I was doing, and being able to learn about different jobs within the financial industry and a credit union. I really loved the focus on the members and employees.

What I wish was different

I wish that I would have gotten to interact more with other interns, I was able to connect with those in the Human Resource department but would have to personally reach out to other interns if that is what I wanted.

Advice

Make sure to always advocate for yourself first and don't take on more than you can handle because it can result in it being too much to handle (from experience).

Good people and an organization that aligns with my values.

What I wish was different

The application process was long and daunting.

Advice

Be open and honest in your interview, be well-prepared, and find a place that aligns with your values and ideas. That makes interviewing much, much easier and makes the likelihood you'll get hired higher.

What I liked

I am able to interact with people and help them with their finances. I also am able to suggest accounts to them that can possibly help them save money in the long run. I balance my draw and some times the vault. I like that I am able to help people and the company.
