I loved getting to serve a church service mission doing technical theatre! I was able to use the skills I'm developing in college to serve the Lord. Not only did I learn more about the Gospel and my relationship with Christ, but I also learned more about technical theatre fields of lighting and sound.

Security Analyst
May - September 2019 • Riverton, UT
What I liked
It was really awesome job experience. They provided a lot of training one on one with senior analysts. I got to see a lot of different career opportunities and I got to network with a lot of professionals in the field. Also since it's a 24/7 facility, I worked three 12 hour shifts a week. That means I got four days off every week. They also offered really great health insurance. The social atmosphere at the church is really amazing and everyone is willing to help.
What I wish was different
It was kinda far from Provo to Riverton but my shift helped me to travel outside of traffic hours. Also since I worked 3 days a week it wasn't bad because I wasn't driving up every day.
Advice
Be prepared to learn a lot, it can be overwhelming at first but after a few weeks you get the hang of the daily routine and you have opportunities to expand your knowledge as much as you're welling to put the work into attaining.

Get in contact with mandarin speakers
What I wish was different
I really have no complain, if there is something, I would say I want the contract duration to be shorter.
Advice
I want to share my job seeking experience. I started looking for a job before coming since I've already known job seeking takes more time for international students. I got my handshake account in January, and started to apply for jobs. (3 months before I came in) and had friends who worked in career service center who introduced me to school jobs. He would take me to see the employers and introduced me. I had my resume and cover letter ready. I didn't get a job until the end of July. I want to tell people even though I didn't get my job through handshake, but the career service center helped me a lot in getting this offer. (and the activities on handshake helped a lot too)

What I liked
For anyone who has recently returned from serving a mission and wants the spirit of their missionary experience to continue, working at the MTC is the best way to do it. You can be involved with missionary work while readjusting to college life, and the people you'll work with are amazing.

April - September 2019 • Riverton, UT
What I liked
Great work environment with helpful coworkers. Nice benefits and opportunities to learn more.
What I wish was different
I'd hoped to have more of a mentor to walk me through new tasks. There was a lot of learning on my own, which is good but difficult when working with new software and sensitive material.
Advice
I recommend studying as much as possible on one's own time. Take advantage of time and resources given for free like Lynda.
