Technician Intern
May - August 2019 • Corpus Christi, TX
What I liked
I got the whole experience of working here and I was able to gain so much hands-on experience. The staff was very informative and helpful and I learned all the ins and outs of the field.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have been there longer!
Advice
This job is very hands-on, you will get dirty and sweaty and be on the move constantly so if you are interested just be ready to work hard! But expect to gain a lot of experience as well. I recommend these internships to anyone interested because you get the feel of working in the department.
