What’s the difference between internships portrayed on TV and real-life? UNLV students break it down faster than you can say 3, 2, 1, action!

"I absolutely loved my internship. It was my first real exposure to machine learning, and honestly, I fell in love. I enjoyed having the freedom to be creative, designing different models, and applying them to various use cases.”

“Both [internships] are a great way to meet new people while trying a bunch of different tasks. Interviews, graphics, packages, writing- they're all touching different tasks in my field that help me create a more rounded/ impressive resume.”

"The most memorable moments of this internship have been the moments when I have been able to connect with the club’s membership. The unique nature of private clubs compared to other facets of hospitality is the fact that you are serving the same people day after day, meaning that you are able to connect and create deep meaningful relationships with the people you serve day after day.”

"Having this role has been nothing short of a once in a lifetime experience. I have learned the importance of knowledge in all aspects of an organization. The biggest takeaway I’ve had from this internship is to learn everything, meet everyone, and focus on leaving feeling fulfilled and overly satisfied with the opportunity you were chosen for."

“Out of all other internships I've worked, this one actually makes me feel like I am a part of the team and actively contributing rather than sitting and observing. There's so many different opportunities I've had that not only put a lot of pressure on myself but also completely immersed me in the casino business.”
