Treatment Process Intern

May - August 2018 • Centreville, VA

What I liked

I liked the company's culture. Everyone treated you as an equal, not as `the new person`. I learned a lot and it was great to see my major come into play in the real world industry.

What I wish was different

I wished the location would have been closer to school because I would have loved to keep working with them while in school.

Advice

Don't be scared away because it is a wastewater industry or any other industry that you might not know a lot about. Any industry that you go to will provide a lot of experience for your future career.
