Questions students ask Alvin

What does a typical day in your internship actually look like?
I would go to my supervisor's office, ask what tasks they want me to do that day, and then do my daily tasks.
How did you land your internship - what did the application process involve?
I learned about the company I was working for before my interview, so I knew what I was going into. The process took a couple of weeks to be formally accepted.
What skills do you wish you had before starting that you'd tell others to prepare?
I wish I had learned more about teamwork. I am very used to accomplishing things on my own.
