Why Intern at Episcopal Seniorlife Communities

I was lucky enough to intern at ESLC my last semester, senior year of college. I grew an interest in Human Resources and knew getting hands-on experience would be the next step in growing my career. The experience I got from my internship allowed me to land my first full-time position in Human Resources just one month after graduating. The job market is extremely competitive, so I was able to set myself apart with the skills and experience I obtained early on. Everyone on the HR team played a role in making this internship so valuable and I feel extremely fortunate to have worked alongside all of them.

This internship opportunity allowed me to find my passion for HR and played such a vital part in finding a job that I absolutely love.

Jessica and I am currently a Human Resources Generalist at a property management company.
