2nd Act

Development Intern

January - May 2020 • Watertown, MA

What I liked

I got to work remotely and participate in weekly staff meetings.

What I wish was different

I wish I had gotten to learn more skills but the time just went so fast.

Advice

Even if internship is unpaid and just for school credit, still make the most of it and take advantage of the opportunities and resources that it provides.

Administrative Assistant Intern

May - August 2019 • Watertown, MA

What I liked

The environment and who I worked with. Everyone was great at collaborating and getting everyone on board with a project. The projects that you work on will help a lot of students and it is truly good work. I learned a lot about how student theatre works, how to work with schools and talk with businesses, and researching into areas to help develop a small tour to bring the work to more areas.

What I wish was different

Transportation costs for me got a little pricey and there wasn't really money for a stipend, and as an unpaid intern it was difficult at times - though overall it is not that difficult especially if you live closer to (or in) the city.

Advice

The office is not close to a T station - but there are buses that are fairly reliable that you can use to get there.
