Advice
While gaining good experience is important, the connections you make are the ones that will stand the test of time - longer than the skills you develop. The experience of proving your worth among professionals is invaluable and can provide amazing opportunities later down the road.

Interior Designer Intern
June - August 2019 • San Francisco, CA
What I liked
Gensler encourages lifelong development and satisfaction of their employees. There were abundant opportunities to learn more about the field, experience the city culture, and bond with my colleagues. Also, wine on tap!
What I wish was different
I wish my husband and dog could have joined me! It was a long 11 weeks without them.
Advice
Apply for jobs and internships that seem out of your league. Be confident in your abilities. Build credentials and experiences you’re proud of and remember to put them on your CV!

Personal network beats conventional employment resources any day. UM should continue their great work on networking events and training students to improve their professional skills.
