Recruitment Intern

June - August 2019 • Flushing, NY

What I liked

This was an amazing experience. I was the recruitment intern which meant that I called people and invited them to our events. I also had a lot to do with the logistics of the actual events. This was through the Jaggar Program at Adelphi. The people I worked with have become a second family and were extremely welcoming.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been engaging in something that had to do with my major of English Teaching.

Advice

I would advise that you find a placement that will give you skills needed in your career and take every opportunity to network.

What I wish was different

I wish I personally asked more questions; I can assume things at times.

Advice

Take advantage of each opportunity and step up when you can!
