Honors Intern

June 2020 • Phoenix, AZ

What I liked

My favorite part about this internship was my ability to work closely with every type of employee that the FBI has, including special agents, intelligence analysts, and other support staff. I also have to give my appreciation for the FBI to hire interns for permanent positions. I was able to accept a permanent full-time position for after I graduate which is an amazing step in my career.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had made more connections. I tried to make as many as I could but I feel like I could have made more.

Advice

Do not wait for people to tell you what to do. Ask for something to do, and always say yes no matter what. Also, take your time to ask people about their stories, not only are they interesting but they also provide valuable insight.

Cyber Security Intern

June 2019 • Washington, DC

What I liked

It's an experience like no other. You get to use tools that isn't used in the private sector or any other organization. They paid for my monthly Metro Expenses so that saved me a good amount of money. The information that you are exposed to is eye-opening.

What I wish was different

Having a more flexible schedule, especially since it is to Washington D.C so the commute is very long.

Advice

Make the most out of your experience. Network with people that are outside of your division to see the opportunities that the FBI offers. The FBI is on a hiring spree for young talent.

FBI intern

June 2019 • Little Rock, AR

What I liked

Unlike working at the national headquarters, I worked in the Little Rock field office. Meaning, i worked as an actual employee, for the violent crimes unit. Everything I am working on even now is confidential or secret, meaning it cannot be disclosed, nor can I say who my co-workers are.

What I wish was different

Nothing

Advice

It is extremely difficult to get into this position, so if you do manage to get the job, you have to perform every single day to show how thankful you are to have been given the position.
