Business Development Intern

June - August 2018 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

I thoroughly enjoyed the group atmosphere of my program. I spent most of the summer collaborating with the entire office on projects, rather than just being resigned to my desk all day to do meaningless tasks. They trusted myself and other interns with working on actual things that are affecting their business.

What I wish was different

The only problem was that it was unpaid, and I had to spend the majority of my weekends working in order to have some money, leaving me with minimal free time. However, they are a small agency, so I understand the reason for making the program unpaid. I also feel that the experience and knowledge I gained was more valuable to my future than a paid program at another company designed to groom you to work there.

Advice

Go into the intern program with a very open mind - I was assigned a role however I worked a lot outside of it. I had to prepared to utilize all of my skills on any given day.
