Camp Counselor

June - August 2019 • Tempe, AZ

What I liked

I enjoyed being able to interact with prospective high school students on a more personal level. As a tour guide, I'm used to communicating with students and parents on a regular basis, but I have time constraints in which I'm supposed to say very specific things. My job as a camp counselor removed those constraints and allowed me to share experiences and random tidbits of information to help these students decide where they want to end up in the next couple of years.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more time for the students to relax. From the moment the students woke up they were always on their feet. Whether it be walking, completing an activity, or even talking to professors, there was never a dull moment for them to sit and absorb all of the information and ask questions.

Advice

To roll with the punches. My camp followed a strict schedule and the students had to be at a certain place by a certain time. Many of the presenters were not as punctual as the schedule. Sometimes there were empty time slots in which I filled with random games and entertainment whilst other times I had to stop the presenter as they were running over. It was difficult at the beginning as I didn't want to seem rude, but I have a job to do and that's what I'll end up doing.

Student Leader

January 2019 • Mesa, AZ

What I liked

I love the people I work with as well as learning the ins and outs of how the university works.

What I wish was different

Communication between the four campuses is difficult and I wish for something that will allow this to get better.

Advice

Always ask for help when you don't know what to do. Its better to work with someone for a longer amount of time because you need to ask your supervisors questions rather than having a quick talk with someone and give out wrong information.

Software Developer

October 2018 • Gilbert, AZ

What I liked

I am gaining real industry experience by applying what I have learned in my classes. This helped me gain an advantage in my senior-level class because I have prior knowledge of what is being taught.

What I wish was different

I would like to have more developers in my team because currently there are only two of us. This would allow me to gain more team engaging experience.

Advice

I think it is important to find a job that relates to your degree while you are attending school. This will help solidify your understanding of the material and help you grow as a professional before graduation. Even if it's a part-time job, having a mentor teach you can be extremely beneficial in your future success.

I enjoyed learning new skills to add to my resume. The experience I had utilizing my resources here as a student enabled me to help me obtain this position.

What I wish was different

Advice

One piece of advice would be to tell others that handshake really is a useful tool that is offered for students. It helped me get started navigating my online professional presence to later start joining platforms like Linkedin.
