My internship was very rewarding in multiple ways. First off, my team was great and I made some new friends here. My internship also provided me with invaluable insight as to what it is like working in the corporate world. I am luck enough to be able to stay here full time starting in June. This is ideal because I do not have to worry about…[Read more]

One thing that my internship has taught me so far that I definitely did not learn in the classroom is that it is better to build relationships with your co-workers that are more than just professional. I have learned that everyone on my time is just a grown up college kid and do not want to always focus on work. They have showed me that is is…[Read more]

Just as everyone else has stated, the excel skills that I have gained form my classes at Temple have been an incredibly huge help with my internship. I also agree with Kevin that my business communication skills have had a positive impact on how I communicate at work. I mean this when talking about both communicating with other employees and…[Read more]

Surprisingly, this semester is probably one of the easiest, stress-free semesters I have had in the past four years.

Hey Theo, I had never used Visio before my internship started but I have learned it is a good tool to use. It makes explaining ideas in meetings much easier and is certainly a lot prettier than my handwriting on a whiteboard.

I have also gained a very thorough comprehension of our P2P system here. I sit right next to our P2P support team and it is very nice to have them on my side because…[Read more]

Simple things that took a couple of weeks to really pick up at my place of work included learning how to book a room if I needed to schedule a meeting, learning that most people will not answer their phones so I have to IM them, and figuring out which parking lot was closest to where I sat in the building. Something that really took me by surprise…[Read more]

Hello everyone,
My name is Alex Charles and I am currently working for QVC in the Corporate Procurement department. I started at QVC last May as a procurement intern and my main job was doing a lot of back-end support on our custom built P2P system. Since then I have transitioned into a technology buyer role where I do data analytics and…[Read more]
