Name: Aloysius Ambe

Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: iHire, LLC

Position Title: Software Development Intern

Major or Program: Computer Science 

Current Class Level: Junior

Work Term: Spring 2022

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

"I work on-site for iHire at the Frederick office. The development team at iHire works in a 2 week sprint and we get assigned work every Monday, which is the start of the sprint.

The assigned work includes User Stories, which are new features to be added to the website. After completion, we communicate with the Business Owner of the User Story so it can undergo testing.

When all the work for a sprint is completed before the sprint is over, we begin working on tickets in the ticket queue. A ticket is usually a bug on the website which needs fixing but could simply be an inquiry into why something is not working as expected."

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I found the iHire internship on LinkedIn and decided to apply. I heard back from the company within a week or two. I had 2 interviews. The first was a 40 minute behavioral interview with 2 panelists. And the second was a one hour skills assessment/technical interview.

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

What I enjoy the most about the position is that the work is very challenging. No two tasks are the same. There's always something new to learn and/or create.

The people at iHire are amazing to work with. Everyone is extremely helpful and kind which makes the overall internship experience an amazing one.

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

I worked on a User Story which redesigned a specific page of the website, so I would like to believe I have helped make the User's Experience while browsing the iHire website more pleasant.

I've also worked on business side logic code which has helped other associates make more informed business decisions.

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 

Be sure to thank your interviewers for their time at the end of the interview. Call them by their names and highlight your willingness to learn. Dress for success and be at the interview site at least 5 minutes early.

Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.

Don't let rejection get to you. All you need is one company to take a chance on you and you'll forget the rest, so don't give up.

Name: Gabriella Salas

Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Baltimore Witness

Position Title: Writing Intern

Major or Program: Media & Communication Studies, English Literature

Current Class Level: Senior

Work Term: Spring 2022

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

I intern at Baltimore Witness which is a non-profit website that marries journalism and data transparency. My typical day involves attending in-person hearings and trials and reporting on those cases. We cover non-fatal shootings and homicides in Baltimore City. We do this with the hope of delivering transparency about the Baltimore City criminal justice system. Aside from attending hearings and trials, I also interview prosecutors and attorneys, study trends regarding crimes and trials, and I write articles for the website. 

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I received an email from Rebecca Adelman last semester about this opportunity and sent our Editor-in-Chief, Trina Antoine, my cover letter, resume, and sample writing. I submitted during late December and heard back fairly quickly. I had one interview and was hired on the spot. 

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

I have enjoyed the writing process and attending on-going trials. Some of these cases can be very interesting and seeing how the criminal justice system plays differently everyday is fascinating.

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

I think being able to give the residents of Baltimore a view of what's going on inside the criminal justice system is very eye-opening. Reform can't happen unless we know exactly what's going on. 

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 

I would say that whether you're interested in journalism like me or interested in learning more about the criminal justice system, to definitely know how to write well, to know a little bit about the criminal justice system in general, and it doesn't hurt to pay attention to on-going trends in the city you're interested in. I think having that background knowledge is very helpful, especially when you're spending all of your time writing about it. 

Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.

Baltimore Witness has allowed me to see a different side of journalism. It's not driven to make flashy headlines, but rather to report the facts and deliver transparency to its community.

Name: Marvin Onwukwe

Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: UMBC USM LSAMP

Position Title: Undergraduate Researcher

Major or Program: Biological Sciences

Current Class Level: Junior

Work Term: Spring 2022

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

My responsibilities include learning laboratory procedures and getting myself up to speed with the other undergraduate researchers in the lab by undergoing training. I'd like to get onto my own project and intellectually contribute to the findings. I take part in chores, meetings, technique training and data collection. I collect flies from food vials carefully and put them to sleep with carbon dioxide and inspect them under the microscope. I need to discover their gender and safely collect the correctly designated flies from labeled fly lines so that they can be treated with the experimental variable and gage the results through their homogenized sample.

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I heard about the vacancy through a recent UMBC graduate and I had formally applied via USM LSAMP.

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

Learning from experienced undergraduate peers

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

I believe I made an impact by contributing to a greater whole. The lab is reputable, the grand scheme/goals of the research contribute to solving some of today's most relevant medical qualms of which I would be fortunate to make contributions to in the smallest part.

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 

Now is the best time. Don't wait, you'll be happy you took the opportunity to grow.

Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.

I feel more engaged with people who could be valuable resources. It gave me more confidence in pursuing the daunting initial steps I needed to take to find out my passions. I held so much initial fear towards the future as many do but I now feel more capable of assertive action that would put me in the right direction.
