I really enjoyed my experience. While the SEC would let me stay on for a few more months, I chose to end on my specified end date so that I could have more time. I really enjoyed the opportunity to work in an office with bright people. It forced me to manage my time well. Without that responsibility, I have more free time than I know what to do with now.

In terms of job prospects, the SEC has a pathways program for interns, although it is highly competitive. My colleagues also offered to connect me with their contacts in financial services. Since that is not the industry that I want to go into at the moment, the internship did not directly lead to a job. However, I am staying in touch with many of the people I worked with and may try to return in the future, as I loved the culture. In addition, it is a strong experience to leverage for future job applications.

Because of AmerisourceBergen, I have a network of invaluable connections. I am not staying to intern there his summer; the company had to discontinue the internship program because of budget cuts. One of my coworkers here at ABC connected me with a friend of hers who owns a digital marketing company. I am currently considering pursuing an internship with that company for this upcoming summer, in addition to a couple of other opportunities. Because of the skills I was able to develop at AmerisourceBergen over the past ten months and put on my resume, I will be able to take advantage of an opportunity this summer that will put me in a good position to do whatever I want to do after I graduate.

My internship experience with AstraZeneca was very rewarding. I felt the team treated me as if I were a full-time employee and included me in all aspects of the work that they were doing. Because of this, I learned a lot about the role of IT in the pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, I enjoyed working with and getting to know many of the other interns that were onsite. In terms of job prospects, I have decided not to intern with AZ this summer as I have found an opportunity with another firm. However, after the summer, if I do not enjoy my time at this new firm, I would seriously consider applying to AZ’s Global IT Rotational program.

My ten month internship at AmerisourceBergen was very fulfilling. The connections I made and lessons I learned throughout my extended stay are two takeaways that will help me in the future. I gained value knowledge through meeting people from different departments, spearheading various Operations projects, and having the added value of working for a Fortune 16 company. Due to current budget cuts within the company, I will not be returning to work at ABC full-time, although I have been interviewing and networking with various companies to pursue other opportunities in the greater Philadelphia area.

The last 3 months of my internship have proved to be a great experience for me. This is my fourth internship with the Comcast and, as I reflect on my experiences, I can definitely say that this has been the most challenging internship I have had thus far. Because I was working in the tax department, I had to develop my business acumen and depth of knowledge within this area which was a challenge at first. In addition to this, because the tax reports are too large to manipulate in excel, I needed to learn the functionality of other workflow applications such as sql, tableau, and alteryx with minimal need for consultation. Overall I am very happy with my experiences during this internship, the connections I have made, and knowledge I have acquired. I am currently set to work with the dept until graduation. During this time, I hope to exceed the expectations of my superiors and receive a full time offer to remain with the company.

My internship with Subaru of America has been great. My last day as an intern will be May 20th. I have learned so much in the 10+ month time span I have been at Subaru and have made so many connections. I have been able to work on projects that I never thought I would be able to work on as an intern. I would highly recommend Subaru’s internship program to anyone that is interested. As far as job offers are concerned, Subaru is still in the process of interviewing for entry level positions, so I have not received a job offer yet, but I should be hearing about whether I get one or not within the next month.

Working for Comcast as a summer intern was the best experience of my professional life thus far. Being on the inside of an enormous business helped me truly appreciate the complexity of running an enormous conglomerate, as Comcast is essentially a business of businesses. Running a large-scale telecommunications corporation is incredibly complex, and the level of complexity more than doubles when you add in the entertainment wing that is NBCUniversal. Seeing this company from the inside looking out, as opposed to how I had always viewed Comcast as an external customer, showed me what is takes to run a massive organization. Being a part of Philadelphia’s largest and fastest-growing business gave me an unparalleled level of insight into the corporate world. Going forward, however, I will be pursuing a much different opportunity. This summer, I will be working as a Private Equity Analyst Intern for a local start-up firm. Though I applied for a position in Comcast’s finance department and was ultimately rejected, as I’ve progressed through my studies in school, I’ve determined that a career in corporate finance is simply not for me. That being said, the internship and the application process thereafter were both great learning experiences. I am fortunate to have worked for this great company, and I will use the knowledge I gained along the way as a vital stepping stool towards my goals in my professional career.

My experience at AmeriHealth has been very fulfilling. During my time at the company, I got the opportunity to learn from and work with some amazing people, most of whom are still mentors to me to this very day. Every company boasts about being “for the people” but I can honestly say that I have never worked for a company until now whose true corporate values was to provide care for the poor and underserved. I would recommend their internship program to anyone who is interested in the healthcare/medical industry. As of now, I have found an opportunity with another firm, but I would definitely consider returning one day. In fact, I am meeting with my supervisor next week to catch up and discuss all that has changed since leaving. Overall, it has been a great internship experience for me. The lessons learned, the connections made and the knowledge acquired has helped me to grow personally, academically, and professionally.

My internship experience at AmerisourceBergen has been an amazing learning experience. Within 10 months, I had the opportunity to work on several various projects, including research projects for strategic account customers, website building, social media marketing, ad creation, etc. In past internships, I was always tasked with projects in one specific area. AmerisourceBergen provided me with the ability to expand my knowledge and skills. I’ve met so many people that have played a huge role in my learning. These are connections that I’ll have for life. My team has taken the time to teach me tools and tactics that will help me in any future position. Also, they always took the time to listen to what I was interested in and assign projects based off of that. While I won’t be working at AmerisourceBergen full time, I’m grateful for my time there.

My internship experience flew by because I had such a great time throughout the 3 months. Being my first taste of the corporate world, my time at EY showed me that being responsible and knowing how to manage my time and expectations only becomes more important after graduation. I got a chance to learn from a very bright and driven group of professionals who will continue to mentor and guide me through the beginning of my professional career. I became accustom to the firm’s culture and I can appreciate the values and ethics of the company and definitely see myself fitting in. Fortunately I received an offer to return in the Summer of 2016 to take on the next level of the internship program. I am very excited to be reunited with all the professionals I have worked and built relationships with during this internship. Overall going through this internship experience taught me a lot of lessons I would not have learned in the classroom so I am glad I took the opportunity.

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 interviews or training as I can just slide right into my full time role.

My internship was a continuation of a part-time position from last summer. Over the last few months, I was given significantly more responsibilities and was able to work on a range of new projects. Overall, the experience has been super rewarding and I am looking forward to continuing here full-time after graduation this summer.

I had a very rewarding experience working at SEI Investments. I made countless friends and connections some of which even became mentors. Unfortunately, the position and department I was working in did not quite fit what I wanted to do full-time once I graduate, and at the time there was not openings that would better fit my MIS degree. Instead, I will be working full-time at Pfizer as a Business Technology Associate where I will be able to better leverage what I learned from my MIS classes.

My experience at ReminderMedia has been amazing. Looking back, I realize how much I actually learned during my internship. I learned tons of soft skills like communication, professionalism, and leadership as well has technical skills like Tableau, MySQL, and Excel. I will not be staying on part-time with ReminderMedia because the Business Intelligence department is very small and they do not need another employee at this time. I was recently hired full-time however, with Protiviti as a Consultant in IT starting in the summer. While interviewing at Protiviti, I was able to talk about my internship during the interview, which I believe helped get me the job. While is was not always easy balancing the internship, school, and work, I am grateful for my experience and I appreciate the opportunity that ReminderMedia has given me.

The experience I gained through the hands on experience at International Visitors Center of Los Angeles has made me more of a problem solver and a more effective public speaker. With the technical portions of my job being a huge gain for me when learning to use the WordPress Platform or holding weekly meetings with the staff to update and get more feedback on what I was doing with their new site. I currently am starting the job search for a full-time position and hopefully stay in the Philadelphia Region.

I really enjoyed my experience at ReminderMedia. It has been great to learn about all the aspects of a company and just how essential different departments can be to one another. I have spoke to my boss on possibly staying on part-time with ReminderMedia but because the Sales Operations department is very small and they do not need another employee at this time I’d only be able to come back for another internship. So I have that as a fallback plan but am still actively pursuing and dedicated to finding a full time position. I have a phone interview scheduled on Friday and had a few in person interviews already last week so fingers crossed. Persistence I believe is the most important skill when it comes to job hunting, the hunter cannot let positions they didn’t get push them down but rather help them learn and push them to other opportunities.

My experience as an intern for Accolade provided me with the hand-on experience that a classroom setting cannot fully prepare you for. A lot of this knowledge I learned was simple day-to-day interactions, such as, getting used to working in a professional environment and meetings. At Accolade, I was also able to meet a multitude of connection that will assist me further in my career. Not only connection, but I was able to improve my professional self with the technical skills I gathered during my internship. Finally, my experience at Accolade was a great opportunity for me and is it is major factor in my offer from AstraZeneca for this summer.

I really enjoyed my experience at ACE Group. I met some really amazing people that I still keep in touch with. I was able to learn more about the insurance industry and gained some valuable life lessons. I was able to improve on my communication skills and learned how to fit into a new culture. I loved the culture at ACE it was laid back and not intimidating but still professional. I had the opportunity to stay there part time during my Fall 2015 semester which I was very excited about. Since there was an acquisition taken place at that time, everyone was really busy, so I was able to work on my own without much of supervision. Due to this, I gained the ability to make valuable decisions and learned to trust my own work without the need for supervision.

My internship at Genesis was a fantastic opportunity that gave me so much more experience in the data analytics and strategic side of HR which is what I most enjoy. Through this internship I gained valuable experience that ultimately enabled me to get a job in Lincoln Financial Group’s Leadership Preparation Program. I will be starting this July with Lincoln as a Performance and Risk Management Associate. Working in a process consultant capacity and deploying Lean Six Sigma throughout the organization.

Describe your experience? Anybody staying on part-time? Anybody have a lead on a permanent job?

My internship at TriMED Health was a good front door that guiding me into the professional career path. It gave me experience and also some ideas in real business work. During this spring semester, I have chance to stay as part time. I appreciate that opportunity because it is hard to find a job as international student. I think the most important skill which I can bring back is communication. Even I still have grammar mistakes when I speak, most of my coworkers are very patient to listen. From the internship, I learn that you should ask questions and watch how other people did their job. Learning some ideas from that.

i really enjoyed my experience with my internship. I learned the ropes of the company and I think I did an awesome job. This is the time to enjoy hone you skills in developing your soft and hard skills to stand out. Everyone with a business degree, I think should have an internship experience. I think having an internship helps with external and internal strengths that will assist in school and professional life. The internship also led to a full time job offer as well.
