Sales Coordinator

May - September 2021 • Bellingham, WA

What I liked

I loved the people I worked with! The team there was very helpful and happy to answer any questions I had. I also loved the flexibility.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have had more time to be in the actual workspace and gotten to interact with my coworkers more. I really enjoyed the month or so that I got to spend in the office.

Advice

I'd recommend setting a consistent schedule for yourself and creating a sense of separation from online work time and online everything else time.

What I liked

Full time work. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Comprehensive training. Consistent feedback process and prioritization.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have started later in the day. 8 am start time plus a 30 minute drive meant I often got up at 6:30 to ensure I had enough time to eat breakfast, get ready, and make the commute.

Using resources and networking to find your summer job makes the process smooth and you are more likely to know people you are working with and have good expectations and a good experience.
