Computer Help Desk Specialist

May - August 2019 • Strongsville, OH

What I liked

I enjoyed all of the people I worked with. Everyone was very helpful when I asked questions. I also liked that there was constant communication between the IT teams with weekly meetings. This brought everyone in on the same page on what is being worked on. We also had meetings inside each team to talk about issues from the week.

What I wish was different

One thing I would have liked is a project for the IT interns to collectively work on. This would have allowed collaboration between the different teams. I also would have liked to explore the other teams of IT.

Advice

Ask as many questions as possible and take notes on what the answer is because the problem will come up again.

IT Data Analytics

May - August 2019 • Strongsville, OH

What I liked

The internship exceeded all of my expectations! The work that the departments have you do is actually really valuable to the company so you always feel like you are contributing to their success. The entire IT department as well as others were so welcoming to the interns and loved having us around. There are a bunch of shadowing opportunities throughout the company. Along with the work there are a bunch of events that the Campus Recruiters put together for the interns, including scavenger hunts, escape rooms, lunch and learns and more! You never get bored and are always fed!

What I wish was different

Honestly, nothing. If you were bored there was always room to help out different departments!

Advice

Take advantage of the Lunch and Learns and Corporate actives! It makes for a better experience and even better networking opportunities!

Human Resources Intern

May - August 2019 • Strongsville, OH

What I liked

I absolutely loved my experience with Union Home Mortgage and their L.E.A.D. Internship program. We were able to get hands-on, applicable experience throughout the summer all while having fun through events, such as food trucks, ice cream trucks, scavenger hunts, bowling, and Lunch & Learns with each department. One of the biggest things the UHM prides itself on is not shielding the interns from the real-life processes, we are here to learn what the industry and positions are like and they allow that to happen.

What I wish was different

Advice

If you're curious about the mortgage industry or you want to get experience in an atmosphere of transparency and knowledge, you should definitely consider the L.E.A.D Internship Program. IF you're unsure about what exactly you are interested in, this internship gives you flexibility across departments through shadowing opportunities and weekly department-specific seminars.

Marketing Intern

May - August 2019 • Strongsville, OH

What I liked

The work was very meaningful and fully applied to actual operations of the company. There were many opportunities for professional development and your presence at the company is felt immediately. You have unique opportunities to shadow board members from other departments and engage in executive meetings. Aside from this, there are many interactive events outside of work that involve all of the other interns. One of the best aspects of UHM is the company culture, which is very close-knit and lively.

What I wish was different

Overall, it is a world-class internship program!

Advice

Step out of your comfort zone, Get to know interns and full time employees in other departments, and honor the code of conduct.

The intern program here was extremely well-developed and they took great care of their interns! The industry is a fantastic one for students to learn in too because most people are going to buy a house one day!

What I wish was different
