Wishing our interns a happy (belated) National Intern Day! Check out this blog to learn a bit more about the two young people who have been working in our office this summer --- and to see what they've been up to with our team! #nationalinternday #macombcounty

For this World Youth Skills Day, Fides Search is excited to share some insights from our recent intern, Zoya! Her time with us has been wonderful and we have thoroughly enjoyed her additions. Reflecting on her experience, Zoya shared, "I have done a variety of things in my time here. On my first day, I worked in administration and put my organizational skills to use." She continued to build on these skills throughout her internship, helping us with outreach and knowledge research. "On my second day, I did some coding for our internal system, which involved researching individuals and distilling information about them. This was particularly interesting as I had never done something like this before." Beyond this, Zoya delved into new concepts that broadened her understanding of business operations. "I also learned about ESG, business development, and due diligence, which was very eye-opening as these were new concepts for me," she said. "Understanding how businesses and companies develop and improve for their current and future clientele was fascinating." Summarizing her experience, Zoya expressed her enthusiasm: "Doing work experience at Fides has been an amazing opportunity, and I think that other people should consider this as well." We are proud to support young talents like Zoya in developing their skills and gaining valuable experience in the professional world. Her journey underscores the importance of providing opportunities for youth to explore and grow in a professional setting. #WorldYouthSkillsDay #YouthSkills #InternshipExperience #FidesSearch #WeBringtheRightPeopleTogether

You ever had one of those moments where you're surprised you actually had a smart thought? 😅 We just launched our Chegg Summer Internship Program this week, and I was chatting with one of our interns about how I started my career in public education and nonprofits. They asked whether I felt like I was able to make an impact grinding it out in those early years. I said I did - but I also said that I don't believe the desire to make an impact is enough to sustain you in that kind of work. When we talk about burnout in mission-driven organizations, particularly in social justice, there is often this sense of "we're here for the mission". It's undoubtedly true, the folks drawn to this work care deeply about making the communities we live in better and more fair. But when it becomes the only thing that's true, the only reason you're working there, the core identity that keeps you there, it's not going to sustain you. The reality is that we'll never be able to make the full impact we want - no matter how successful our work is. That's because the challenges that face us are so much bigger than any one of us can handle. This isn't the same as being cynical or giving up - it's about recognizing justice work is a relay race, not a marathon, and we all have to pass the baton forward. When I look back on my pre-corporate years, I don't see that time as having been lost (even if I did come out of it missing a few doctors visits and retirement contributions). Nah - I learned so much in those years about myself, my instincts, how to build systems oriented around equity, all things I value now. So my advice for young professionals looking into impact work - yes, do it for the mission, but also do it for yourself. Think about what you want to learn, what you can learn from these places, and why that matters to yourself in the long-run. You deserve to grow, not just to serve, and when we value our growth, we can build healthier relationships to our work. Lowkey I'm very surprised I had all this in the back of my mind 😅

Took some time to dive into some survey data today about our funded Frederick A. DeLuca Micro-Internship program at Parker Dewey. MANY quotes stood out to me, but this one showcases the importance of our network. Q: What made you take advantage of the offer for fully funded Micro-Internships through this program? A: Paul Polo I can't share enough about this program and the benefit of Micro-Internships for both companies and career launchers, but when our champions and Micro-Internship site supervisors share their experiences, it makes a difference! If you're in my network and have worked with a Micro-Intern, please share your experiences as a comment here! If not, comment what your hesistation is in trying out the program. I bet I can find a quote from another company to quell your fear...
