Major Long Snapper on Football team Currently working 2nd internship with Citi Smith Barney Excerpt from Work Report
After working with Citi Smith Barney, it made me realize that this could be the perfect fit for me. As a financial adviser/broker, you get to work hand in hand with you clients building relationships and gaining trust of individuals. It is a lot more personable than I first thought. It helped me realize what I want to do for a career and the steps it takes to get there.
Andrew Gause Management Major Baseball player Interned twice with US General Services Administration Excerpt from Work Report
I was a realty service student trainee who worked directly with a Realty Specialist. I worked on leases in the North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee territories. This internship has given me insight on dealing with leases. I want to go into property management, and this is giving me a head start.
Ryan Tinkoff Management Major Baseball player Interned with GT Baseball Team Excerpt from Work Report
I am interested in entering a sports field and this is definitely the right path to that. Being able to see the operations that go on behind the scenes for sports camps and for a golf outing were very helpful.
