Interns urge applicants to be open-minded, manage time and engage coworkers
Summary
Participants advised future applicants to be flexible about department placements, learn time management, engage colleagues and treat the month as an opportunity to grow professionally and socially.
Near the episode's close, interns offered practical advice to future applicants for the mayor's summer job program: be open to different department placements, use time efficiently and engage with coworkers.
Allison encouraged applicants to be open to placements that may not match initial preferences, saying returning for a second year broadened her view. Taylor emphasized time management across rotating duties at multiple offices. Gabriela urged interns to connect with coworkers and not be isolated: “One simple good morning can go a long way,” she said.
Other tips included not being nervous about IT work, having fun during the month, and being open to professional criticism in finance work, as Rahima put it. The host closed by thanking the interns and directing listeners to cityoflaurel.org for program details.
