Web Developer Intern

January - May 2019 • Riverton, UT

What I liked

I liked how I was able to get real-world experience that increased my skills and knowledge. There were great resources available to me, including high level engineers that were willing to help me with all my questions. Another aspect I liked was that the employees all have the same values, it helps promote a healthy work environment. One of the best things though was doing work that mattered and aligned with my personal values and beliefs. The skills I gained here helped me get two high-paying job offers directly after the internship while still being a junior. Working here for those 5 months was the best professional decision I've ever made, and really helped set up and propel my career.

What I wish was different

Honestly, I really liked every aspect of the work during my internship. I would say an area I would have liked to get more experience in was group collaboration. I worked with a mentor most of the time, but never did much collaboration with the team.

Advice

If you are thinking of interning at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, definitely apply and try to get in. It is a great experience and you'll learn so much valuable information that you will actually use in your career. It is also a great work environment.

Director of Public Affairs, Apex Stake

May 2017 • Apex, NC

What I liked

I love being able to interact with the community leaders and volunteers and get to know others and the great work the do in my community.

What I wish was different

There were a lot of big events and I felt like an event planner much of the time, which was not what I most wanted to be doing. The events were wonderful and I was able to interact with, meet and interview some amazing people, but I would prefer that aspect were less of my time.

Advice

Public Affairs is a vast and wonderful experience that requires a great deal of flexibility and to do it effectively, it should be a full time position. I went into the assignment hoping to devote 10-20 hours per week on the position, but due to planning 3 large events in a 3 month span, my time commitment was typically 20-40 hours per week with a few weeks over 50 hours. That big time commitment made it difficult to keep up on my school assignments.
