Intern Testimonials
Our past interns had a fantastic time at LH&A. Read more!
“I learned valuable lessons while interning for Lynn Hazan in 2021. As a Communications Intern, I was responsible for maintaining the website, updating Lynn’s newsletter, and creating infographics. Lynn mentored me beyond my day-to-day tasks. She taught me the importance of building strong presentations and writing skills. Lynn also gave me concrete ways to improve my interviewing skills and stand out when applying for jobs. I know Lynn’s ideas and feedback helped me be more successful – her “WOW Project” concept got me my first job out of college! I would recommend working with Lynn if you are looking for a leader who is positive, passionate, and an expert at what they do.”
“From my time working with Lynn at LH&A, I learned that it’s all about connecting with people. In an interview, asking questions to your interviewer such as ‘why do you enjoy working at this company’ demonstrates your interest in their experience and can help you garner helpful tidbits about the work environment itself.
While the interview is a great space to showcase your ability to be personable, personal touches are critical even before you get an interview. When you submit a cover letter, make sure that you tailor it to the job you are applying for. Have an experience that you think would apply to the job? Include it! Always incorporate words from the actual job description to demonstrate to your prospective employer that you thoroughly read the job description and care about the little details. All in all, it’s about the personal touches!”
“Working with Lynn Hazan has been one of the most transformative professional experiences of my life. As my mentor and supervisor during my Business Strategy Analyst role, Lynn did far more than guide me: She empowered me. From day one, I was encouraged to contribute strategically to AI research, business development and compiling presentation decks. Lynn’s leadership style is visionary and hands-on. She never hesitates to teach, involve, or challenge her team. What sets Lynn apart is her commitment to relationship-building. During all of my projects, Lynn consistently prioritized my growth. She taught me how to market ideas and myself with clarity and confidence. If you ever have the chance to work with her—take it. She doesn’t just help people find jobs; she helps them find their voice.”
“I was an intern at Lynn Hazan & Associates, in my second year of university and was under Lynn’s direct supervision. I can attest to Lynn’s passion and dedication as both a recruiter and teacher.
Not only did I learn a great deal about recruitment within the marketing and communications field but also received exceptional guidance from Lynn about the corporate world. I learned important workplace communication skills, experience meeting deadlines, and took on projects that broadened my skill set. At the same time, though, I was given the freedom to come up with my own ideas and express my creativity to the firm in different ways, which helped me gain confidence to enter the corporate workforce. It is this commitment, passion, and drive that led me to grow outside of my college classes and prepare me for the real world, not only as a future employee in the workforce but as a female in the workforce.
I am forever grateful to Lynn for taking the time to enlighten me about all aspects of the workforce. She was able to sustain her philosophy of “you teach me, I teach you” by also treating her interns as friends and partners. I must also mention that Lynn placed me in my current position that I have been at for nearly 2 years at a medical association after I graduated from college. Lynn continues to maintain excellent relationships with her clients, candidates, and interns which portrays her drive to go above and beyond in her work. I continue to feel support from Lynn beyond my time as an intern at her firm and regard her as an inspiring influence for Chicago women!”
“I had a wonderful experience working as a marketing intern at Lynn Hazan and Associates. I gained knowledge of the recruiting industry and various social tools like WordPress, MailChimp, and Constant Contact. The internship offers flexible hours, class credit, and a great mentor like Lynn to work under. I am thankful to Lynn for giving me the opportunity.”
