Museum Education Intern

March - August 2018 • Pocatello, ID

What I liked

I loved working with the kids and giving them tours of the museum. It was so fun to teach them about Idaho’s Natural History!

What I wish was different

I wish the internship could have been closer related to my future field of art education.

Advice

Always be patient with kids. Biology says kids don’t sit still and be quiet for very long. This is a fact that needs to be accepted, not resisted. Do what you can to help kids learn, and make sure they respect you. However, don’t set unrealistic expectations.

Landscape Assistant

April - August 2018 • Pocatello, ID

What I liked

Flexibility in schedule when I needed time off. One learns life skills for their future house / lawn care in the days to come. Great facilities "Grounds Dept." team! You feel like you're part of a family. I enjoyed making friendships.

What I wish was different

Better pay for the required tasks at hand. It is very demanding of one's body. More hours available to work throughout the day. It is either from 6:00am - 2:30pm or 7:00am to 3:30pm, depending on the time of year one is employed.
