I really enjoyed the environment of the Talent Acquisition team and the flexibility with work. I did not feel micromanaged and I felt like I had the freedom to be creative with my work.
What I wish was different
I wish there was more structure surrounding the social media pages but it provided a nice challenge to work with and figure out over the summer.
Advice
Patience is a virtue and your best friend.

What I liked
The City of Detroit has a wealth of great opportunities for students in all fields. It is a very exciting time to be working for the city and they are very welcoming to new ideas and processes. I feel like I have gained invaluable experience and have been encouraged to take the lead on projects that interest me.
What I wish was different
I think the onboarding process is rocky. More support and preparation for incoming interns is needed.

What I liked
It’s a very fun job and I liked that got to interact with the community daily and teach many of the local kids how to swim.
