TIAA

Data Lead Intern

June - August 2018 • Denver, CO

What I liked

Lots of networking opportunities, applying what I learned in school to my work, shadowing different departments, learning about the company, and learning about myself while growing as a professional.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have collaborated with other interns on a project.

Advice

Take advantage of your time being there. Employers want people who are energetic and excited about the job.

Strategic Sourcing

June - August 2018 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

I loved the work culture they had there. I was able to fit right in with the different teams of professionals I had the opportunity to work with on various projects. All of the projects I worked on were extremely hands on and relevant to courses that I took in the business school, which was great. My managers were involved with each project I worked on and provided guidance and teaching when I needed it.

What I wish was different

This is something that is uncontrollable of course, but since the internship was over the summer, there were a few times that enough people were out of the office on vacation that it got a little slow at work and there was not much to do.

Advice

I would make sure to talk to and get to know as many of your co-workers while you are there, and continue to stay in touch with them even after you are done with the internship. Also make sure to learn as much as you can from them about their jobs and what they do on a daily basis to broaden your career interests, you might even find out you like another type of job in that department and want to pursue that.

What I liked

Good atmosphere, great orientation program, stand up company, great coworkers.

What I wish was different

Wish I could have worked with the other interns more.

Advice

Best thing to do is just soak up as much information and skills as you can. Be a sponge.
