The office is close to campus, making it very convenient and accessible for Chapman students. Additionally, there was no formal hierarchy, so I was able to directly work with and learn from the executives.
What I wish was different
While I was assigned tangible projects where my research would be utilized in proposals, there was a lot of down time where I felt like they did not know how to best utilize their interns.
Advice
This was an amazing first internship experience and it is ideal for someone who wants to learn more about the marketing agency without needing to commute too far.

Research Intern
October - December 2020 • Orange, CA
What I liked
I like the school set up the career fair and mock interviews which gave me the chance to meet my employer and build a relationship before being offered a position. My employees have communicated well with me and have made sure that I understand what is expected of me.
What I wish was different
I wish there was more time to go through the training process and have more instruction. Sometimes I am given a task and I don't know how to start and it's hard to ask questions since we are virtual.
Advice
There are so many career opportunities out there, and Chapman has an awesome network that connects you to employers. I would say don't be afraid to take an unpaid internship and see where it leads.
