Foster America

Operations and Financial Intern

May - August 2017 • Washington, DC

What I liked

A lot of autonomy and ability to work on and take ownership of large and important projects due to the small size of the company.

What I wish was different

More direction and evaluation of my own performance throughout the summer. Also, I reported to 3 different managers on different tasks simultaneously, so that was difficult to maintain. Finally, the staff worked in many different states, meaning that there were many weeks in which I had no face time with any full employees.

Advice

Advocate for projects you are interested in working on, and don't be afraid to share feedback with your managers on how they can best utilize your skills.
