New York City Department of Transportation

Bike Share Intern

June - August 2021 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I liked the ability to get acclimated to a professional environment and to be introduced to some of the tasks and responsibilities that will be expected of me in the future when I pursue a real full time job.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been more opportunities for me to work in person, as the majority of the internship happened remotely, and I believe I could have benefited greatly from an in person internship.

Advice

To not be afraid to ask questions of your supervisors because they are most likely more than happy to help you as this is primarily a learning experience and you are not expected to know everything right away.

Transportation Construction Inspector

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

The pay and the reimbursement for my travel expenses

What I wish was different

I wanted both office and field work.

Advice

Get an internship your sophomore and junior year so you know what you want to do specifically in your career. The more specific you are, the more you can narrow your job search and tailor it to the way you want.
