RE: Giving Interns Meaningful Experience

As an intern across universities, what I enjoyed was getting a glimpse of what the real world would be like regarding workloads and projects. Each week involved the same primary responsibilities and meeting with the same people, but I received a new project from time to time that matched my skillset. ...

"ChatGPT and other text-generating bots aren't intended to be correct or honest about anything"?? That reminds me of how a version of ChatGPT designed for Snapchat is turning out: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tWDAmElb22Q I also think the squandering potential of this AI is a two-sided coin. Already, ...

While I was working on my Capstone Project, I was on a team of six, with only one girl throughout the entire year. We did not ever bring this up to each other, although the class did have a sufficient male-to-female ratio. Now that I'm working full-time, I am working between three projects involving ...

Hello everyone, I have followed several of these example preparations for interviews myself over the years, and I think they have been pretty helpful.

I'm using BST to log all my hours into, and I'm using mostly the same strategy you had as an intern. However, I reach the office slightly before 9:00 am so that I can go over emails and other concerns before I start tracking times on my Notepad. That way, I can focus one project or meeting at a time, ...

My most valuable lesson as an intern was how the transition from classes to work would focus on projects. While working as a Student Utilities Assistant, I was entrusted with various projects, like setting up light sensors around the office, and co-predicting energy usage for a year.

Hello Christopher, I have always thought of interviewing as the time to seek a job. Due to the time I have sent so far attending universities and career fairs, I have considered the last several years time to either work at a job, look for a job, or work as a full-time student. To that end, now ...
