What I liked
I liked how I could choose what days I wanted to work and not only did I make money, I have grown a network of very successful people over the last 9 years. I spend four hours a day with executive, entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors, etc. Over the course of 9 years I have built relationships with hundreds of different members which will benefit me once I start applying for jobs.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have caddied for a larger variety of people this summer. I got blessed to have a few regular members request me and built very close relationships but as I am growing closer to graduation a even larger network of people will be more beneficial when I am searching for a job.
Advice
Don't pretend to be someone you are not because they will see right through it. Always try to keep conversations going and don't be afraid to talk about yourself. With that being said make sure you listen to them and learn about them and always remember small things that they have said because that will leave them with a good impression for next time.
