I liked how the material I learned from class directly applied to how my team operated (Scrum Meetings, Version Control, QA Testing)
What I wish was different
Being that it was remote, it was hard for the internship coordinators to keep track of how much work was given. With that in mind, I wish they would have given us more tasks to do.
Advice
However much work or type of tasks, complete them as best as you can. Even the smallest tasks can shed a positive light on your work ethic.

Marketing Intern
May - August 2022 • Washington, DC
What I liked
The team that I worked on was truly amazing. The Digital Business Services team was welcoming and gave me legitimate and meaningful projects that contributed to their goals. I also got to learn a lot about the Postal Service as a whole and acquire a number of skills like project management, marketing, and more. I also got to telework 2-3 times a week.
What I wish was different
I ran out of work on occasion because I finished my assignments earlier than the deadlines. But this did not happen often.
Advice
Don't underestimate the Postal Service. They're very innovative and push you to think outside of the box (pun not intended).

What I liked
The pay and straight-forward nature of the job. My shift supervisor was exacting but very helpful, and most of my co-workers were very kind and helpful, even going out to their way to help a confused newcomer.
What I wish was different
Certain areas can be very confusing and sometimes no one tells you what to do but expects you to know what to do
Advice
If you don't know what to do, make sure you ask before you screw something up
