This week on WIBcast, Molly Mahon joins me to talk about our summers as interns in New York City for part 2 of the WIBcast is Back series. 

Molly is a senior at Boston College and on the Women in Business Board, but calls Chicago home. We talk about why we wanted to intern in New York and how to navigate finding roommates / living with new people. Molly took on a "just do it attitude" that extended into all parts of her city summer. The majority of the episode echos this theme as we share tips from our time as interns that focus on networking, professionalism, learning, and receiving feedback. All of those skills are things that we have had some experience with as students, but found new insight on in a work environment. We reflect on all that we learned about ourselves from communication styles to finding balance and how we have brought that back to campus as seniors.

And any discussion about New York would not be complete without some dialogue on all there is to do! We talk about what we did on the weekends, from meeting up with friends to exploring new neighborhoods. When there is always something going on, the toughest decision you have to make is whether you will get to your destination by subway, Blue Bike, or on foot. We also talk about our thoughts on safety and making such a big city feel like home.

Molly and I are happy to be resources for anyone considering an internship in New York. Questions are always welcome through @WIBCast on Instagram.
