We hear a lot about internships from the company perspective — resumes, recruiting, hiring — but not always from the students themselves. What are they actually thinking? What excites them? What makes them nervous? And what does today’s job market feel like for young professionals entering their careers? 

This episode kicks off a brand-new series focused on the real experiences of college interns as they step into the professional world, starting with Moser's current Marketing interns. 

Sophia Wolfgang is a rising senior at the University of Louisville where she majors in Marketing and Will Spink is a rising senior at Indiana University-Indianapolis where he majors in Graphic Design at the Herron School of Art and Design.

Our conversation covers career goals, internship expectations, workplace culture, imposter syndrome, the pressure of “having it all figured out,” and what young professionals are really looking for from employers today. We’ll also have a little fun along the way and hear what both Sophia and Will hope to say at the end of this internship journey. 

And look for Part 2 of this episode, which will debut in Season 12. We'll check in with Sophia and Will again near the end of their internship and find out what they accomplished, how good they were at predicting their internship experiences, and see what advice they have for future interns.
