Mentor and Messaging Intern

April - August 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

The environment was very uplifting and friendly. Plus, I always felt like I was learning and growing a lot everyday.

What I wish was different

There's not really anything I would have changed about the experience. When I was in the middle of the internship, I wanted more direction on how to do things, but looking back that minimal direction is what helped me grow the most.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions, and don't be afraid to make decisions. I found that I did my best work when I made decisions about how I was going to spend my time, and then I'd ask my supervisors questions about how my work was going and that helped me get more done than waiting for something to do.

Curriculum Analyst

January 2020 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

I was thrown right into the work to help make a difference in the company. I wasn’t used to run errands, but I was seen as a co-worker and given real responsibility to make a change in the course outcomes. They liked me enough to extend my internship twice.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have continued to work in office. With Covid, we all ended up working remotely with sometimes made me feel a little out of the loop. This was in no fault of Pathway though!

Advice

Don’t be afraid to offer suggestions or your input. If it is good, it could truly impact the work positively.

I do wish that I had been able to spend more time in the office as it was remote and sometimes it was a bit slow.

One thing that I like to be a volunteer is the opportunity that we have to meet new people. So if a person is shy, it can be a great opportunity to develop a skill to be more communicative.

Training Development Intern

May - September 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

I really liked the environment at BYU-Pathway. It is a church organization and relatively new, so there are lots of opportunities for growth in the company and lots of change going on. It is exciting and ever-changing to be there and every day is different.

What I wish was different

I wish we didn't have such fluctuation in how busy we were. I would have times that were super busy with deadlines to complete projects, and then other times that were quite slow and I had to ask for things to do.

Advice

Be open to new experiences and be willing to learn and help wherever you are needed; even if it isn't in your job description.

Academic Adviser

July - September 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

I enjoyed the atmosphere of community and friendship that I had with those that I worked with. I liked the sense of purpose I had when I was helping students plan their degrees as they progressed towards graduation.

What I wish was different

As an academic adviser, there is a lot of information that you need to know in order to help students more fully. I wish that I had been more prepared for some of the questions that I was asked by studying the resources that I had available more often than I did. In doing this, I would have been a better help to students , and a better asset to my employers.

Advice

As an employee, you need to be willing to continue learning and be able to be humble in the feedback that you receive in order to make you better at your job.
