Human Resources Intern
May 2018 • Kalamazoo, MI
What I liked
That it was 100% directly related to my major. I'm doing the work people usually don't do until the 2-3 years into their careers. I'm also learning more things about HR than I've learned in a regular classroom setting.
What I wish was different
Nothing, I am absolutely blessed to have gotten the chance to do an internship at this level so early on in my college career.
Advice
People think they have to "wait" until their junior or senior year of college to start looking for an internship but that isn't true. The earlier you get your foot in the door the better. That means applying to any and all opportunities that come your way. I was a freshman who stumbled upon a job posting on handshake that "preferred" applicants that were rising juniors or seniors. I ended up being the first freshman in that particular internship program to receive an offer and accept it. Anything is possible, regardless of your academic standing, age, etc.
