I had no preconceived ideas or thoughts about the experience as an intern with eighth eleven. I was so pleasantly surprised to be surrounded by such dedicated and professional people. The respect they showed me as an intern was very motivational. Each day provided me an opportunity to demonstrate that I was a hard worker who could take direction and complete a task on time with my best efforts. I am pleased to say that I came away from this experience with a great deal of respect and admiration for the people and the company in general. I feel like I have a lot to offer and hopefully a position will be available to me upon graduation from Indiana University.

Internal Hiring Intern AND Senior Technical Recruiter
March 2018 • Indianapolis, IN
What I liked
I have been lucky enough to be apart of the Eight Eleven Group family in more ways than one. I started in the company as an intern during my last semester as a senior at Butler University and was instantly welcomed onto the Internal Hiring team with open arms where they taught me all about the core values of the company. I learned how much I appreciated grit, passion, and family. After graduation, I decided to stay within Eight Eleven Group and become a Technical Recruiter with Medasource. I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations of what I thought both an internship and first post-grad job were supposed to be like!

Advice
My piece of advice would be to network with everyone! Eight Eleven Group is lucky enough to be the parent company of three amazing organizations, Brooksource, Medasource, & Calculated Hire, and within all of those are some really great young professionals you can learn something new from every single day. The company offers so many opportunities to better your career, so take advantage of each & every one!

Internal Hiring Intern
February - August 2017 • Indianapolis, IN
What I liked
I fell in love with the culture of Eight Eleven, even as an intern! I felt truly integrated into the very tight-knit, family-oriented culture that Eight Eleven has. I had so much fun coming into work every day and felt truly comfortable. More than that, though, I found that Eight Eleven's culture runs much deeper than just the fun side - the culture is founded in passion, support, motivation, accountability, and so much more! Everyone is rooting for your success and will help you reach your goals, inside and outside of the internship/company.

Advice
Be resourceful! Eight Eleven provides a really cool experience that not a ton of other internships provide - interns get the chance to be as involved in the company's true functions as they would like. If you want to actively recruit, you can! If you want to shadow different departments of Eight Eleven's Corporate Headquarters, you can! If you want to create new marketing material - do it! There is always more work that can be done, as long as you are interested and looking for more. Use your resources, including the people around you, to get the most out of your internship!

Internal Hiring Intern
January 2019 • Indianapolis, IN
What I liked
I enjoyed going to work each day because of the offices fun and welcoming environment! Everyday I had work to do and new things to learn. I had plenty of responsibility and felt like an active part of the team!
What I wish was different
My college, Indiana State University, is an hour and a half away from Eight Elevens office. Due to the travel distance I choose to move home to Indianapolis and finish my degree online to pursue the internship full time. I really missed being on campus and being with my friends for my last semester but have had such a good experience at Eight Eleven and grew friendships with the other interns!
Advice
Be a self starter! The office is always busy and there is plenty of work to be done, it is completely acceptable to begin work or take on a project on your own initiative!
