Best 5 months of my life!

I had the best experience of my life on my internship. In Israel, the workplace is very different than it is in the US. I never felt like "just an intern" in Israel and there was never coffee-fetching. It was super hands-on and I got so much exposure to Israeli culture and work environment. I got to work directly with the company owner and sit in on multiple meetings. Because I am a native English speaker, the company valued what I had to say and my skillset was really tapped into. I got to re-brand the company website, create amazing events, and build such a strong network. I had a marketing internship and learned so much. I grew as a person and grew my international network. I wish the program never ended honestly. Every week we traveled to new and interesting places around Israel. I got exposed to so much more than I'd ever get to experience on a Birthright trip. You truly live like a local. It's a very special experience and is something that completely shaped my future career.
