Software Development Intern

June - August 2021 • Basking Ridge, NJ

What I liked

Although the internship was fully virtual, I really enjoyed the transition into the experience and the work I got to do. I won’t disclose the exact project I got to work on, but I had the opportunity to integrate my knowledge and skill in front-end technologies to improve Verizon’s digital platform. I got to be a part of a team in an Agile environment and work on something meaningful - not a side project that would later be forgotten. It was a rewarding experience with lots if opportunities to learn.

What I wish was different

I wish I had a chance to visit the office in person! However, I understand the situation due to COVID-19.

Advice

In any internship, you are there to learn and experience what it’s like to be a part of a team at that company. Don’t be intimidated and simply be yourself.
