Undergraduate Researcher
June - August 2018 • Ogallala, NE
What I liked
I enjoyed collecting data and being in the field most of every day. I also love the fact that my research will help a Nebraska at-risk species. It was amazing to be able to work in the field, quite literally, as I was working on the prairie.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have had more prior knowledge on soil and plants to aid in researching.
Advice
The Cabela's Apprenticeship is a great experience and you can do a number of different studies for them related to conservation. Apply early and do you best to stick to your preset deadlines.

Retail Associate
January 2019 • Mesa, AZ
What I liked
It is a good working environment. The job is easy enough and it is a good way to spend a summer and building good relationships with coworkers and upper management. They are all willing to write recommendation letter if I were to need one.
What I wish was different
I wish that the shifts were a little more even, but I also understand this is a retail job and the managers have to work around everyone's availability.
Advice
One piece of advice is to make sure you have good shoes so that your feet don't hurt at the end of the day.

Sales Associate
August 2018 • Mesa, AZ
What I liked
I like being able to read people's needs and provide them with what they came looking for, or what they didn't know they needed.
What I wish was different
I wish that the schedules were easier to get a hold of so that there are no surprises for anyone, including the managers.
Advice
People are business. If you aren't a people person, business will be tough. Dealing with customers shows you all sorts of people and I believe working on the front lines of a business like that is extremely crucial in understanding different people and different ways to work with them.

Sales Representative
August 2018 • Mesa, AZ
What I liked
Great work environment with people who you'll become good friends with.
What I wish was different
There's not much room to move up as far as raises go, so if you're in it for the money, not the best place to go. But as a job to get you by, that won't be too hard, and have some fun people to get to know, then go for it.
Advice
Easy job, just do what you're told, be friendly, and have fun with it and your co-workers.
