What I wish was different
I wish the job was more applicable to my major.

This was not the dream job that I had hoped for over the summer, however I chose to make the best out of it and use it as a learning experience. I think it is important to have the mindset that you can always get something out of what you are doing.

Packaging Associate
August - September 2018 • Portland, OR
What I liked
I enjoyed the professionalism and the contacts that I had made during the job. Specifically, the job gave me a valid understanding of what employment is like in the real world.
What I wish was different
I wish that the work that I was doing was more stimulating. At times, the job was fairly menial and I believed that my skills and my ability to learn was of a higher level than what the job entailed.
Advice
I would suggest that you talk and you share as much as you can with your co-workers. Not only will this make the day more enjoyable, but it will allow you to create a network that will support you if you encounter any issues with the work.
