Marketing Intern

August 2019 • Spartanburg, SC

What I liked

I liked the experience, and the connections I made over the summer.

No complaints.

I would say to someone that an internship is a place to explore what you like. Do not get disappointed if you do not Luke what you are doing, it’s only for the summer.

Maintenance

June - August 2019 • Spartanburg, SC

What I liked

Personally I was grateful for the opportunity to have a job on the campus I attend. This job really helped me out through summer training sessions for the football team because the job did not keep from missing any training sessions. Looking back at the experience I found a great appreciation for the workers that keep Wofford's campus together and I always speak to my old coworkers when I see them around campus.

What I wish was different

Honestly, my plan for this past summer was to work for an internship but things did not work the way I wanted it to. Despite the lost opportunity of working for an internship this past summer, I was still able to make enough to pay for the summer payments required when staying on campus.

Advice

The piece of advice I have to say is, regardless of the job others work never judge people by their job titles because you might learn more about life from a maintenance worker than a college professor.
