Product Management Intern

May - September 2019 • Riverton, UT

What I liked

Everyone was patient and helpful and would listen to my ideas.

What I wish was different

I wish I’d had more of a mentor I could go to for help and feedback. I had three different people that were there at different times so it was difficult to know who I reported to.

Advice

Be open to learning! I am not a technology kind of person at all and so I just took notes and looked up what I didn’t understand which helped me learn much faster and be able to contribute.

Take every day as a new adventure. Read your scriptures, follow the rules (they have them for a reason), and go work with everything you’ve got! And always communicate well with your companion. And don’t get mad at the crazies out there, just let them go.

Paid Intern

August 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

Working for the Church is an amazing opportunity to learn and to feel recognized. On my first day of work, I had the opportunity to meet amazing brothers and sisters, who treated me very well. Also, I had the opportunity to learn a lot of my direct leader, who taught me everything about my responsibilities. I love working for the Church and have the opportunity of helping in the Kingdom, with the company of the Holy Spirit.

What I wish was different

My integration day, the one before my first day of work, I felt a little bit lost, but maybe because I was a little bit nervous.

Advice

In my case, as an international student, with a high experience working in another companies, my advice is to be humble and faithful. Humble because been at the church is not the same as been in a traditional company, we don't need to be proud or worried of showing of our previous skills or experiences, because, in my opinion, at the church, we are all the same and what matter most is our faithful, and will of helping people and also, being nice to each other.

Health Coach

July - December 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

It was such a great environment to work in! You receive tons of training in nutrition, personal training/creating exercise plans for clients, and stress management. The supervisor is all about helping you grow and get as much experience as possible. The experience gave me a ton that I was able to put on my resume!

I wish there was an opportunity to turn it into a full time job but as of right now that isn’t an option.

Grounds Maintenance Worker

May - August 2019 • South Jordan, UT

What I liked

I liked the atmosphere of the place that I worked, it was inclusive and my coworkers were amazing. I also enjoyed the work that I did, being outside in the dirt and taking care of grounds can be hard, but very rewarding.

What I wish was different

Really the only thing I wish had been different was the hot temperatures. Working outside in the heat can be very exhausting, but we were given many breaks and opportunities to get out of the sun which helped.
