Human Resources Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I enjoyed the location of where I was working and the people I worked with the most.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been given more important work to do, other than clerical work. However, I understand that that type of work is the usual work of an intern.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share about this experience is to always be asking questions. The only way you learn is if you are asking people what they are doing and how they got into the position they are in. I found that those two questions were the most important because they lead to amazing conversations.
