Brigham Young University

Research Assistant

January 2018 • Provo, UT

What I liked

Well structured, well mentored position. Feedback available almost any time you need it. Supervisors are always super available, even during off hours.

What I wish was different

I wish there was a little more "teaching" involved; not just answers when you had questions, but proactive (perhaps on some regular schedule, e.g. weekly) attempts to present new information relevant to the field in which we do research.

Advice

This is a great opportunity to experiment and learn about a potential emphasis or field; however, know that your mentor will likely not want you job hopping or leaving right after becoming useful.

UX Researcher

April 2018 • Provo, UT

What I liked

There is always variety in what I do and I'm learning bucketloads about user experience design.

What I wish was different

Sometimes things can get a little political. But that just comes with the job.

Advice

Come with an open mind and lots of patience. What you think is good might not actually be so. Also, while the customer has the final say, try to inform (but not bias) their decision as much as possible.
