I wish I could have completed the internship in-person, but with COVID-19 I had to complete it remotely.

Field Sales Intern
May - August 2020 • Fairfield, OH
What I liked
I appreciated that I was trusted with a lot of autonomy to complete my work and sell like a full-time rep would. This helped me to gain time management skills that will help me to effectively achieve my sales goals in my future career. Also, I liked the exposure to lead sources and the ability to develop relationships with my assigned rep's business partners.
What I wish was different
One thing that I wish could have been different would have been to be in-person and not virtual as a result of corona virus. Obviously this was out of the control of local management but it would have improved the experience.
Advice
One piece of advice I would share about this experience would be to take note of each sales rep's approach to selling because you can learn at least one thing from every rep that you can apply to your strategy.

Insurance Claims Intern
June - August 2020 • Plano, TX
What I liked
I really enjoyed learning about insurance and about Liberty Mutual as a whole. As an accounting major, I wasn't too familiar with insurance but during my time at Liberty I was able to learn a lot! I was also able to learn about the culture at Liberty. Liberty Mutual really puts their employees first, they have a great amount of diversity, and have several career opportunities within the firm that I was not aware about until now. The firm is overall a great place for anyone to start a career at!
What I wish was different
I would've liked to have experienced this internship in person, which is no one's fault due to the global pandemic. The reason I say I would've liked to experience the internship in person is because I would have been able to have had more in person interaction and experience the overall lifestyle of working in a corporate position.
Advice
One piece of advice I would share is working during a global pandemic or a virtual internship would be to create a routine to stay on track. Working from home is something I have never done especially as a full time intern, so in order for me to stay engaged I had to create a routine that was easy to follow while working from home.

Real Estate Transactions Intern
May - August 2020 • Boston, MA
What I liked
How multifaceted the internship was. I was able to meet and worth with brokers, analyst, lease administration people. My managers gave me so much freedom in finding the avenues I liked and let me dive deep into. My managers were all incredibly flexible as well which made the experience amazing.
What I wish was different
Obviously having it be in person would have been great, besides that I have no other wishes.
Advice
The internship wasn't in a field I was particularly interested in. However just having that internship and being able to build that network allowed me to find aspects of that field that I found interested and lined up closer to my interests, eventually leading to me landing a full time job in my field of choice.

Software Engineering Intern
May - August 2020 • Dover, NH
What I liked
The Pay
I was treated as a junior engineer; there were two full-time new hires, and the treatment was essentially the same.
Work was interesting and relevant to my studies
Able to work from home during COVID pandemic.
I was hired pretty early; got the offer in November for an internship starting in May.
What I wish was different
Getting started working from home was a little rough, but honestly went better than expected.
Advice
Take a deep breath and take your time in technical interviews; they're more interested in your process than your results.
Be ready for anything; I was in a hosting role, equal parts software engineering and system administration.

Workers Compensation Claims Intern
June 2021 • Indianapolis, IN
What I liked
I liked the availability to transition to a virtual work environment. Having a virtual experience was new for me, and I think I enjoyed it.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have had the chance to go into the office on a hybrid schedule. While I enjoyed the virtual experience, I also enjoy working in an organized space, not just a kitchen table.
Advice
I would encourage others to seek out the opportunity themselves. I did a random Google search to find this opportunity, not on any other website.

Gained a lot of good experience. Learned how to use multiple new analytical programs and improved communication skills.

Talent Delivery Team Intern
June - August 2021 • Boston, MA
What I liked
I really liked the opportunity to pick my own projects and got to learn more about the different career options. The intern programming was also well planned out and engaging! Attending the events was fun and allowed me to connect with other interns while learning more about the company. Overall, it was a great experience for my future career and increased my skills and connections.
What I wish was different
I wished the experience was in person. This internship was fully remote and individuals were working from all areas. I wanted the experience of interning in a physical office, but that was not the case. Even with the remote component, the programing and involvement of the program still left me feeling connected and engaged with the company and internship.
Advice
Definitely ask questions and learn about the company/department. They are so welcoming and everyone is willing to meet with interns to provide any advice or expertise. Take the initiative to speak up and it's okay to make mistakes, the internship is meant to be a learning curve.
