My Responsibilities

  • I worked Tuesday Thursday and Friday so I would always come in early and check emails and update whatever needs to be updated
  • I would then work on redesigning pages and try to get as much possible for each day
  • I help redesign most of the paperwork because my supervisor doesn’t like the way things are looking
  • I update customers on what stage their solar project is on, so that includes calling emailing and sending a text once a week
  • Update programs such as Pipedrive for new customers and such

My Experience

  • Finding an internship was stressful at first but thankfully I found one that was the right fit for me.
  • The work attire is business appropriate, not a strict dress code but appropriate
  • I enjoyed working in an office and meeting new people. Everyone was really friendly!
  • I also enjoy being able to do what I’ve been doing in college which is actually design and getting pretty free reign on what choices I want to make.
