Retail Salesperson
May 2015 • Redding, CA
What I liked
Fun coworkers, fast paced.
What I wish was different
No upward mobility, and not in my career field.
Advice
Do what you have to do to finish school! Getting a job or internship in your field is ideal and valuable experience, but if nothing else, just having a job will help ease the financial struggle.
Even if you don't need the money now, it might provide a cushion for something unexpected later. Even if the job isn't in your field, there is always valuable experiences to be gained (teamwork, conflict resolution, how to act professional, etc.)
Don't spend your summers idle. After you graduate, some employers WILL ask.

Information Services Intern
May - August 2019 • San Antonio, TX
What I liked
I loved the people and how well the company integrates you with activities and work together.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had more insight from managers on paths to take and more technical knowledge.
Advice
I would say always meet with your manager when you can and give them updates. You should always be curious and wanting to learn new things.
