“The YCC program has helped me in preparing a professional resume and cover letter that I can use for any future jobs or applications. Moreover, I was fortunate enough to go through 6 interviews which have only allowed me to improve my interviews and made me more comfortable. I believe this internship will help me in the future through the networking of new people that I’ve met at UCI Health. Moreover the hours of experience will defiantly put me in a more competitive state.”
