The team atmosphere and hands on experience

What I wish was different

Advice

Students should always apply to positions that interest them/offer experience in their desired career field because if they don’t get the job then they learn more about what traits are desirable for those positions and if they do get the job they will have an amazing opportunity to live life in their dream job and start to create a network that will be so valuable later on.

CPI

I got to work for what I was trying to learn on my own.

What I wish was different

I wish I could learn more, and have a larger pay, so this could make more motivated to work more.

Advice

This is a great experience as I am working on my interested field which would help me in the future. This makes it easier, because I don't have to other work while learning my interest, as I am getting paid to work on my own field that I have interest, so finding some work of your interest is like killing two birds with one stone.
