Accounting Intern
September 2022 - May 2023 • Brownsville, TX
What I liked
I liked how I started with no experience to gaining a much better knowledge of what accounting is. This internship allowed me to apply what I learned to the real world where I learned how to better track my expenses for my business.
What I wish was different
Honestly I would say I would've wanted the internship to last longer. But because I got offered a job right after within the same department, I wouldn't want it any other way.
Advice
I would say to go for it! If you see a position for an internship but aren't sure, just apply! Who knows? You might've found your dream job.
