Software Developer Intern

July 2021 • Rexburg, ID

What I liked

This internship was the challenge I needed to stretch myself into a professional mindset for my career. I realized that if anything is ever going to happen in my company or my career it is because I put in the hard work to make it happen. This has been a grand opportunity to rise up, which I have done my best to do.

What I wish was different

I wish I was paid, had a proper mentor, had benefits, and that the internship had better structure to support my learning. Any progress made was entirely dependent on the heroic, unpaid efforts of the interns working together with the company owner. In short, although this was an experience I sorely needed, I will never take an unpaid internship again. I am worth more.

Advice

Work hard so that your merits reflect your abilities. In other words, make sure that you can prove your ability in anything you put on your resume. That preparation will take thousands of hours of difficult training, but after all that work you will not be afraid because you know you are ready. Even if you fail, you learn what you lack. So do your best and fail forward. That is a great way to succeed in any endeavor.
