I enjoyed the opportunity to see how a multinational business handles large amounts of data.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been able to do a little more data analysis in addition to learning SQL.
Advice
This internship includes extensive training in T-SQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and the Star Schema. Those interested in a career that includes these skills will find great value in this internship experience.

What I liked
Professional team of workers who have high standards secularly and spiritually.

Done more Project Coordinating and cost management

This is a great place for anyone to see if IT is a place for them or not. Plus, working for the Church is indeed more than a job as Elder Bednar put it.

Project Management Intern
May - August 2019 • Riverton, UT
What I liked
I enjoyed the environment. You work with a lot of really good people that are just doing their best, and that is rewarding.
What I wish was different
I wish that the training was more formalized. A lot of what I did was on the fly, things that I just came up with to learn.
Advice
Be a self starter - they aren't looking for someone to teach every second, they want you to own projects and make the most of your circumstances.

I was called to serve in the temple and I worked as voluntary in the open house until the dedication of the Port-auPrince Haiti Temple during the Summer. It was a wonderful experience to me because I serve in the house of God.

Material Handler
June - August 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT

Advice
Choose a job environment that you feel comfortable working in. If you plan for this, then you’ll enjoy the job atmosphere a lot more and be more likely / willing to stay!

Security Analyst
May - September 2019 • Riverton, UT
What I liked
It was really awesome job experience. They provided a lot of training one on one with senior analysts. I got to see a lot of different career opportunities and I got to network with a lot of professionals in the field. Also since it's a 24/7 facility, I worked three 12 hour shifts a week. That means I got four days off every week. They also offered really great health insurance. The social atmosphere at the church is really amazing and everyone is willing to help.
What I wish was different
It was kinda far from Provo to Riverton but my shift helped me to travel outside of traffic hours. Also since I worked 3 days a week it wasn't bad because I wasn't driving up every day.
Advice
Be prepared to learn a lot, it can be overwhelming at first but after a few weeks you get the hang of the daily routine and you have opportunities to expand your knowledge as much as you're welling to put the work into attaining.

What I liked
Working hours are flexible
Get in contact with mandarin speakers
What I wish was different
I really have no complain, if there is something, I would say I want the contract duration to be shorter.
Advice
I want to share my job seeking experience. I started looking for a job before coming since I've already known job seeking takes more time for international students. I got my handshake account in January, and started to apply for jobs. (3 months before I came in) and had friends who worked in career service center who introduced me to school jobs. He would take me to see the employers and introduced me. I had my resume and cover letter ready. I didn't get a job until the end of July. I want to tell people even though I didn't get my job through handshake, but the career service center helped me a lot in getting this offer. (and the activities on handshake helped a lot too)

Missionary Training Center Teacher
April 2019 • Provo, UT
What I liked
For anyone who has recently returned from serving a mission and wants the spirit of their missionary experience to continue, working at the MTC is the best way to do it. You can be involved with missionary work while readjusting to college life, and the people you'll work with are amazing.
