Three months ago, I had a very particular image in my head of what an intern was supposed to look like: a frazzled, sleep-deprived 20-something juggling cups of coffee, fighting with jammed printers, and being at the beck and call of a demanding boss. I thought that an internship would amount to no more than a stress-filled summer, a bullet point on a resume, a necessary evil.
One of Fargo’s biggest perks (in my opinion) is its job opportunities for young adults, both current students and graduates.
As my junior year was coming to a close, I knew that I wanted to spend my upcoming summer doing something that would not only build my resume, but would also allow me to gain experience. Interning for the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, I was able to do that and so much more.
So you’ve finally made a decision. You’re going to stay in Fargo-Moorhead for the summer. If this is the first time you’re living on your own, it’s a huge step, so congrats! But now comes the next one: Finding an internship.
