I loved the way they treated me. They gave me real work to solve real problems. To them I wasn’t an intern, but rather an equal employee.
What I wish was different
Nothing. This internship was life-changing for me. I wish I put more hours that I did.
Advice
Go above and beyond. Come earlier than others and leave later than others. Show your boss that you love this internship more than anyone and that you’re willing to work harder than the actual employees.

Door to Door Sales Representative
May - July 2019 • Miami, FL
What I liked
Consulting new people all the time. Gathering people skills while also working for this company that was apparently disconnected to the Medical Field. This is completely conducive to my patient care and public persona an this was like sharpening the saw and identifying my personal flaws. Oh and working commission based.
What I wish was different
The hours and living quarters.
Advice

What I wish was different
I wish they had included me in other jobs rather than keeping me on the phones all day long. A little more variety would have helped me.

Customers react according to the way you react most times. Treat them all in a calm manner and if they do get worked up stay confident in helping them.

Sales Rep
May - July 2019 • Indianapolis, IN
What I liked
I liked the experience of doing something completely different and really pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. It was a door to door sales job which was something I had never done before. It gave me a lot of experience of talking with people and learning basic sales techniques.
What I wish was different
While there was a part of me that enjoyed it being door to door, there was also a part of me that hated it. Door to door sales is very hard in today's society and it often lead to people yelling at me and slamming the door in my face.
Advice
Make sure you really want it. If you don't you will find your quitting halfway through like I did.
