Summer Internship

Hi Everyone!

I hope everyone had a great summer, got some work experience (internship/jobs) and had the opportunity to expand their network. I personally had a amazing, stressful and intense summer. I was looking for something not too intense or difficult,... but received the opportunity to work at Bank of Hawaii, ranked #1 in "Americas Best Banks" by Forbes. I worked in the Hawaii Branch and Business Banking Division for the bank as a summer intern. This was a great learning experience where the bank spent a lot of time and money on us interns with high expectations. The bank flew in many people from around the world to talk to us about different things including "managing younger people" and explaining the importance of lending. But with these great experience came long, 10-12 hour days and a lot of time outside of work to complete task and prepare for the next day. Competition was also high between the interns, who came from very prestigious college/universities. I would highly recommend this internship to anyone from Hawaii looking to go back home for a summer, who is looking to challenge themselves but also foresees that the opportunities could be endless. Overall it was an amazing summer networking with many different people and expanding both my knowledge and personal skills. 

Tell us about your summer and email us at: careerplanningpeer@usfca.edu 
We would love to post more experiences of other students and their accomplishments!

Aloha,
