Internal Sales Intern

May - August 2019 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

The people I worked with and the others that I interned with were all great people who were always willing to help and happy to talk with you. The program offered many chances to showcase abilities and knowledge, as well as gain more knowledge and skills and build a personal/professional network. I feel like I learned a lot about the finance industry and improved myself over the few months that I was there.

What I wish was different

Nothing.

Advice

Make an effort to talk with as many people as possible. Talk with people in different departments, shadow as many people as possible so you can learn more about the industry and company and, most importantly, what interests you as a possible career path. Don't just show up and go through the motions and only focus on the projects that you are given.

What I liked

The people were very kind and helpful.

What I wish was different

I do wish the circumstances were different because when I started my entire division went through a reorganization. Due to this, everyone was learning a new position and it was hard for me to find a real task to do.

Advice

You should treat an internship as an interview the entire time. Be kind and be willing to do more work. It is important to be a hard worker.
