What did a typical day at your internship look like?
What was your favorite part of the internship?
Do you feel that your internship has helped you obtain a better understanding of future jobs/internships?
What advice do you have for someone who does not know what to look for in an internship/site?
Keep trying to find something that fits for you! It’s really important to learn about the company culture because that shows what you’ll get out of the internship. I felt that my bosses respected my ideas and cared about my learning. Also, apply to opportunities even if you think it’s a reach or you’re not qualified. This specific position applied to a graduate position, but I ended up getting it.
