Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy

State of Michigan EGLE intern

May - August 2019 • Lansing, MI

What I liked

I loved the atmosphere, the interaction with professionals within fields that are of interest with m, and the engaging projects that I was given to complete.

What I wish was different

Pay of course would have been nice, however I feel that the relationships and contact which I have made were just as valuable.

Advice

Be ready to work, days are sometimes long, and the projects test you. You need to show that you are ready to apply things you should have taken classes on and impress people. They do a good amount of pairing you with jobs and individuals that give you a great experience in fields you may move into.

May - August 2019 • Lansing, MI

What I liked

I had a lot of independence and it had the feel of an actual job.

What I wish was different

There were too few things to do and the projects I did get to work on weren’t substantial or challenging.

Advice

Make sure to be persistent in seeking opportunities and making them for yourself.
