Gaining Real-World Experience through Co-op!
What have you learned through your internship that will help you the most in your career?
"My internships have helped me to understand what I do and don't want in a work environment. I have learned that I do much better at a larger company, like a corporation, than a smaller company. I have learned that I am interested in music, fashion, and anything that combines the two. Most of all, I have learned that internships are a great way to try out different careers while I am still in college so that I don't feel as lost in the job search once I graduate."
What surprised you most about your internship experience?
"The biggest surprise that I have learned from my experiences in various internships is the level of hard work that has been required of me. After high school, I was somehow convinced that my hard work was done because I had gotten into college. Once in college, I thought my hard work would be done once I graduated. Now that I have had experiences in various fields, I realize that all of this hard work is just the beginning. Every day is a new chance to prove yourself in the work force. No one is going to pat you on your back for what you have accomplished in your life, that was what got you in the door. Every first day has been a challenge. Every work day has been a lesson. I am consistently surprised at how much is expected of me as an intern but more so surprised by how much more hard work I am willing to put into my work."
