My experience

Overview

I would help reach out to potential businesses to fill vacancies in shopping centers, follow up with social media posts, and manage background projects and their timelines to help fill the gaps in the work for the leasing agents.

This internship, like any internship, is what you make of it. I learned very early on that I am not going to pursue a career in commercial real estate but I knew that I could be an asset for the team because I saw where my skillset best aligned. Through constant giving and receiving of feedback, I was able to create a new Leasing Intern Training manual. Since the end of my internship, I have kept up the friendships I made in the office and I have such good memories with them! Give every internship, whether or not it's your "thing", your best shot.
