Emergency Preparedness Intern

May 2018 • Richmond, VA

What I liked

Real work experience (not filing papers or other typical intern tasks). Since there were a lot of interns at Dominion, they planned several special events for us like volunteering days, networking events, and tours of Dominion facilities. Additionally, I was given a mentor for the summer who helped me tremendously.

What I wish was different

Wish I had a more clear understanding of what my role would be at the beginning of the experience

Advice

Treat every day of your internship like a job interview if you want to get a return offer.

What I liked

I enjoyed getting to explore a new area while learning about the intricacies of how a nuclear power station operates. Being able to go on weekly walkdowns of the plant and see the equipment and how it all operates together was unlike anything I've seen.

Mechanical Engineering Intern

May - August 2018 • Glen Allen, VA

What I liked

I enjoyed working with the division; they were very helpful when I needed help and very open to questions about the company or their work. I was glad to have been given work in accordance with the classes I had taken.

What I wish was different

Advice

It is good to try and figure things out for yourself, but definitely not for hours on end. If there are people around that can help you, then it is more than worth it to ask them for help.
