Why I Liked my Internship

See what the 2007 interns had to say.

"The internship exceeded what I expected. Being educated first hand about how the AKC works was really valuable, plus I feel like I am walking away with 4 new friendships which is very valuable to me too."

"There's much more at the AKC than I realized! From this internship I gained an understanding of the connectedness of every undertaking. It's given me a better big-picture perspective on business, which will help me be more effective as an employee wherever I end up working."

"The welcome I received was very friendly. And the projects assigned to me allowed me to really reach my personal goals for the internship, and allowed me to feel I was really contributing something rather than just performing "busy work"."

"The internship appealed to me because of the connection to the sport, the Raleigh location, and the 8 week time period. A lot of my projects were open ended and I was able to be creative. Everyone was so nice and very helpful - it was a great internship!"

"Most beneficial was getting to work with my whole department and learn how it runs and operates. Being able to do multi-projects with everyone on the team was very valuable. I learned a wide array of different skills that will be beneficial to me in my profession."

"Getting to experience something different and work on types of projects that I had never worked on before was very beneficial. Getting to experience the culture of the AKC and making new friends was the best for me."

"It was great to get to know the other interns as well as past interns and other employees. I will always be involved in the sport and the experience that I have had as an intern will influence me in all of the aspects of my life in the dog world."
