What I liked

I enjoyed the responsibility that was put on my right from the beginning. I was given my own desk and computer and my own little projects to work on.

What I wish was different

I wish I had a better understanding of Auto CAD and Micro-station going into the internship.

Advice

Show them that your a hard worker and they won't mind if you don't understand everything. As long as you're willing to learn.

Civil Engineering Intern

May - August 2019 • Herndon, VA

Advice

One piece of advice I can share about my summer internship is to be social and never hesitate to ask questions. Aside from asking questions related to work or assignments, chat with coworkers and ask about their experience in their career. Find out what they enjoy about their career and what struggles they had to overcome to get where they are. Engaging in conversation with coworkers helps provide valuable insight into the career field and can make you a likable person at the same time!
