If I had to do the whole experience again, I would go into the internship more confident in my abilities. I have discovered that most of the time, I do know what I’m doing. I would recommend this internship experience to other students. It was fun, beneficial, and the people I networked with and became friends with were a huge part of why this internship was a success.
Gained A LOT of self-confidence and learned many things about myself. I am going to be the CEO of the SMIF class at UCM for the coming semester and I wasn’t sure if I was good enough to handle that but I sure feel ready now.
My favorite part was being given responsibilities and having trust put in me to produce real content that would actually be used. I wasn’t expected to run errands and fetch coffee, I worked on important projects, some of which I worked on independently and others as a team effort. It made me feel like I had a purpose and really helped me gain skills, learn how to receive feedback, and give me confidence in my abilities.
Personally, I felt very prepared for the internship because of my classes and previous experience at UCM.
I have benefited most from this internship by gaining the experience I need to start up in this industry so that once I do graduate, I will be able to have the experience to jump right in.
