Data Research Analyst Intern

May - August 2024 • Bensenville, IL

What I liked

It was a really good environment where they allowed me to apply the skills I've honed inro a business environment. It was very collaborative and they continuously invited new ideas. I like that our data analysis projects held weight and contributed to their company's decisions moving forward, making our work meaningful. Cooledtured allowed individual growth and the superiors were there to help but at the same time held me accountable and treated me like a true professional.

What I wish was different

I would've liked to partake in a project that involved the entire team and work in a big team dynamic.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions, they are there to help you.

UI/UX Designer Intern

April - August 2024 • Bloomingdale, IL

What I liked

What I liked was the experience and knowledge I could gain. I could apply skills and communicate within a team to accomplish weekly tasks.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have made more designs more crisper then having to go for a basic look with no special effects.

Advice

If you like pop culture and like designing or have experience with art then this is a poison for you that will help you improve many skills.

Data Research Analyst Intern

May - August 2024 • Bensenville, IL

What I liked

This position grants you the freedom to research whatever you like as long as it's deemed useful to the organization. If you're looking to boost your portfolio with more projects, or are looking to try something new and learn, this position gives you the opportunity to manage the work you do to fit your needs.

What I wish was different

On occasion, especially if you feel stuck with a project you're working on, the lack of direction and clear objectives (outside of just generally bringing something useful to cooledtured) can make it difficult to complete larger projects that reach a dead-end, as you're unsure of exactly what the other teams in cooledtured need.

Advice

Research the company and look through their website before starting this position, as having a rough idea of what you believe could be impactful and useful for cooledtured before beginning any project gives you the advantage to start early and remain focused with your research, ensuring that all your work is useful.

Data Analyst Intern

May - August 2024 • Pleasanton, CA

What I liked

Cooledtured provided numerous datasets and encouraged us to choose our own projects, helping me discover the work I enjoy most. I appreciated the community of data interns Cooledtured brought together. Since some of us were new to data analysis, it was beneficial to learn and solve problems collaboratively rather than working alone. During the internship, I completed three different data-related projects, giving me a clearer idea of my future career path. If anyone is new and interested in Data Analysis, this would be a great place to dip your toes in.

What I wish was different

Advice

I have a background in coding, which made analyzing data in Python straightforward for me. Mentorship on coding isn't provided, so be prepared to watch tutorials and learn independently.

Project Coordinator Internship

March - May 2024 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

I am grateful for the support I received during my time here. The flexible work hours allowed me to effectively manage the social media team, where I gained invaluable experience. This experience deepened my understanding of management and highlighted the significance of cultivating strong relationships and fostering a positive team environment. Cooledtured provided an excellent platform for professional growth through their internship programs, always ready to offer assistance and guidance.

What I wish was different

I believe open communication channels are essential, especially during intern on-boarding, where detailed information about their tasks would have been beneficial. But everything else, besides this, was spot-on, and I would not change a thing about it.

Advice

As an intern, we often create barriers for ourselves, including self-imposed fears. My advice to anyone joining as a project coordinator intern is to prioritize open communication channels. Don't hesitate to take the initiative and reach out first if needed. Remember, people notice and appreciate small gestures. It is important to make connections with your team from the beginning to make sure that they know you and you know them. Establishing these connections is a way to build your team and subsequently to lead them.

Content Creator

March - July 2024 • Irvington, NJ

What I liked

In my role I would write articles on topics that I was passionate about and create promos in order to attract readers. Through my experience here I gained a better understanding of how to write to keep my audience engaged as well as how to attract an audience. As a game designer these skills will serve me well in creating games that players will get lost in.

What I wish was different

Everything was perfect.

Advice

Make you set out time to do your work. You will likely need more time than you actually think.

Law Assistant Intern

January - April 2024 • Bayonne, NJ

What I liked

Working with Cooltured was one of the best experiences I've had in an internship. The company's culture and environment were incredibly welcoming and my supervisors were always very supportive, kind, and easy to talk to. What I especially like about Cooltured is how much they value their interns and foster a positive relationship with them. The internship was flexible and they allowed interns to monitor their own schedule. This allowed me to focus on school-related matters while working on the internship. My supervisor, Ms. Chole, would also take the time to review my work with me and suggest where I needed room for improvement or what I did well. At Cooltured, I really felt my work was appreciated and that I made a worthwhile contribution to the site, as well as feeling that I made a great connection with my supervisors, which is something that I don't often find with a lot of student internships. The online resources they give to work with are very accessible and easy to use, and the tasks provided are tailored to an intern's educational pursuits. Throughout the internship, I learn new terminology and current law necessary to my higher educational goals. Overall, I am incredibly grateful that I had a chance to work with Cooltured. I hope they continue to expand and improve upon their internship program and I look forward to seeing how the company grows and innovates in the future.

What I wish was different

Advice

Communication is key! If you are unsure or confused about your assignment, let your supervisor know right away. They are very understanding and more than willing to help you out. Additionally, Cooltured is not like other internships where they provide a set schedule to work with. Interns are responsible for making up their schedule and acculmating and accounting for their necessary hour requirements. In other words, use your time wisely!

Web Development Intern

November 2023 - March 2024 • Austin, TX

What I liked

This was a great experience for an internship. My superiors were always friendly, communicative, and understanding of my college responsibilities. I learned so many new technologies and techniques working here that I wouldn't have otherwise.

What I wish was different

I would have liked to see more mentoring/help in finding a career. Maybe some help perfecting my resume or more guidance would have been appreciated.

Advice

You just have to be communicative. If you can't get an assignment done in time, speak up when there is still time. Other than that, ask for help but do your best first!

E-Commerce Operations Specialist

September - December 2023 • Bensenville, IL

What I liked

My experience at Cooledtured is unbelievably valuable to me. I found the whole experience to be like a college course. I was able to learn new things, practice what I learned, and gain a complete understanding of my tasks. This opportunity introduced me to a wonderful mentor, Chloe. She gave me a lot of career and personal development advice. She and the whole organization always emphasized education is the most important and priority, and that the organization’s internship program’s main goal is to help prepare students to enter the work force. Cooledtured should not change their program’s goal. It is a wonderful organization that focuses on interns. I do not think I could have gotten such an internship experience that is so personal and tailored to me at another organization. This experience is unique to Cooledtured.
