Desventajas
While my internship was overall a positive experience, there were a few challenges that I encountered. At times, I found myself wishing for more structured training or clearer guidance when starting new tasks, as it occasionally took extra time to fully understand expectations. In addition, some periods were slower than others, which limited opportunities to stay consistently engaged. That said, these challenges ultimately taught me how to be more proactive, ask better questions, and adapt to different situations skills that will serve me well in future roles.
