Internship Search Update
I’m excited to share that I’ve kicked off my search for summer 2025 internships! I have two interviews scheduled: one for a general Accounting position at a retail company and another for a compliance/Audit internship. While I don’t have any formal work experience—just volunteering—I’m eager to make the most of these opportunities. If you have any tips on potential interview questions or general advice, I would greatly appreciate it! 😀
