In my recent journeys, I had the privilege of meeting with high school students, sharing insights into the myriad of career options available in the tech industry. It was heartening to see the spark of curiosity in their eyes and even more gratifying to know some have chosen to follow my journey closely. I promised them to share and bubble up opportunities as I see. This opportunity from Microsoft that could be the turning point for many young aspirants - the Discovery Internship Program. This initiative is specifically designed for those standing at the crossroads of passion and curiosity in technology and STEM fields, offering a golden bridge to a career in tech, not just at Microsoft but beyond. I urge you to spread the word within your circles. Share this with young enthusiasts, educators, parents - anyone who stands to benefit or knows someone who will.

I don't know but keep looking out for one. #msfthiring #DiscoveryInternship #STEMEducation #CareerInTech #FutureInnovators

EDIT: My availability for March has totally filled up! Exciting that there's been so much interest. If you have a really specific question, feel free to send a DM and maybe I can answer it, but I'm not able to take any more 1:1s before the application deadline. Good luck to everyone applying! --------------- Spotify summer internships for students are open! We have two user research positions open, one in NYC and one in Stockholm, and several other research or data scientist roles that may be good fits for some of my followers. Feel free to get in touch with me if you have questions, keeping in mind that: --- the User Research roles are for current Bachelor's or Master's students, not PhD students; others may be PhD-level --- I'll only be able to consider providing a referral if I have *prior exposure to your work* or *already know you well* --- Referral or not, we can talk about general tips or your strategy, but I probably won't have time to review your application materials I encourage you to apply if you think you might even maybe be a fit! It's a great place to be an intern and a great opportunity to practice not self-rejecting. (And if you're reaching out to connect because you see this, please try to include a message with your request - it really helps!)

Last week, we welcomed this year's summer co-ops and interns to the Cineplex team! 🎉 Transitioning into the professional world can be both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you're diving into your first job or aiming to maximize your experience, remember that every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and make an impact. Here are my top 10 tips to to help you navigate your internship/co-op and make the most out of your summer position: 💼✨ 1. Show Initiative: Don't wait for instructions, seek out opportunities, and contribute ideas that add value to projects. 2. Stay Organized: Keep track of deadlines, meetings, and tasks to ensure you stay on top of your responsibilities. 3. Outline Your Goals: Set clear goals for what you want to achieve during your internship/co-op. Whether it's gaining specific skills or completing projects, having goals keeps you focused and motivated. 4. Be Professional: Represent the company with integrity. Dress appropriately, adhere to company policies, respect and address colleagues professionally. 5. Be Punctual: Time is valuable in the workplace, so always arrive on time for meetings, assignments, and deadlines. 6. Ask for Help: Don't hesitate to ask questions or seek guidance when you need it. Asking for help shows that you're proactive and committed to doing your best work. 7. Make Yourself Available and Be Hungry to Learn: Be open to new experiences and opportunities for growth. Volunteer for tasks outside your comfort zone and take advantage of learning opportunities. 8. Ask for Feedback: Solicit feedback from your supervisors and colleagues to identify areas for improvement and demonstrate your willingness to learn and grow. 9. Keep Track of Your Projects: Maintain a record of your projects, accomplishments, and challenges you've overcome. This documentation can be valuable for future reference and performance evaluations. 10. Make Connections: Build relationships with your colleagues, supervisors, and other professionals in your field. Networking can open doors to future opportunities and mentorship.

Internship opportunities

Here’s some valuable insights I’ve learned from my journey into the industry☺️.

Enhance your interns’ summer experience AND help improve their performance with an intern event designed to be fun and help build business skills. Scavenger hunts are perfect for groups with interns not local to Chicago. It gives them a chance to get out of the office and explore their new city. These programs also focus on strategic thinking, group problem solving and budgeting. Best of all, it’s a great way to get your interns out of their comfort zone and build memories with their peers! Team Challenges are another great option. Bring out their competitive spirit with head to head competitions. Each activity has takeaways related to different business skills for the ultimate win-win, fun and impactful! And last but not least, celebrate the end of their internship with a summer picnic! Any of these events would be a value add to any summer internship. Customize your intern events with WCF! #internevents #internshipprograms #teambuilding #scavengerhunts #internexperience #corporateevents
