Human Resources Intern
May 2020 • East Aurora, NY

I didn't have any poor experiences throughout the summer. Although I would have preferred to be working in-person with my coworkers, rather than online, I really enjoyed my experience and the knowledge I gained.
Advice
I would encourage others to not be afraid to step out of their comfort zone and to make the most of opportunities that present themselves.

Risk Management Co-Op
May 2019 • Elma, NY
What I liked
The people treat you like a real employee, not just another intern. I'm given real projects often times instead of typical things interns would be given. They give you independence, and rely on you to get all of your work done.

Human Resources Intern
June 2018 • East Aurora, NY
What I liked
All of my coworkers are very open to helping me with any questions that I have on while working. My boss is also very understanding of my busy schedule as I am currently continuing my internship while in classes. This is very helpful as it allows me to continue my experience while attending college.

I encourage all business students to apply for an internship over the summer. They are a great way to learn more about a field and to find out whether you enjoy a specific career path or not.

Mechaniccal Engineering Intern

What I liked
Everything. The job was great and they had me doing real engineering work. Everyone was very willing to help with any questions that I had.
What I wish was different
I wish that my laptop had been ready to go when I got there so I didn't have to wait a week or two for software to be ready.
Advice
Take the chance on moving across the country for a little. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. Working in the smaller office allowed me to work on more projects and be more involved than I ever though I could be.

Human Resources Intern
June - August 2019 • Torrance, CA
What I liked
This internship was an overall amazing experience. The valuable skills that I gained from this experience are some that I could have never learned in a classroom. Having the chance to work in California was incredible and my co-workers made everyday so amazing.
What I wish was different
The only thing that I would have changed about my internship was the timing. I wish I would have had more time to work with all of my co-workers because once I started getting real close with all of them, it was time to leave.
Advice
Don’t be afraid to speak your mind. Just because you are an intern doesn’t mean you don’t have great ideas! People may be hesitant to change but once they see your idea/hard work pay off it will make a world of a difference!

HR Intern
May - August 2019 • West Valley City, UT
What I liked
I was able to work under the HR business partner on my learning objectives. I worked independently to come up with proposals that I thought would be best to complete a project. Felt that my contributions were valued and the hand off for my projects when I left went smoothly.
What I wish was different
A longer internship to continue working on my projects within the company.
Advice
The one piece of advice that I would share about this experience is to take advantage of internships. It is a great way to get exposure to projects that will boost your resume and grow your network of connections.
