My Role:
- Our IT Department has 4 interns, each one is on a different team.
- I am on the Siebel CRM team and I am currently working on a Business Requirements Document (MD050) to show the as-is Marketing and Telematics preferences for customers enrolled on the MySubaru portal.
- I also help out within the IT Department with other teams who need assistance. For example:
- Creating a SQL query that will show the relationship between sales velocity and the dollar value of accessories in the vehicle.
- Reviewing RFI documents that have been returned by vendors that potentially will be providing us with Digital Service Advisor(DSA) services for our Retailers.
Review:
I have had a wonderful time at my internship with SOA so far. I am extremely lucky that they gave me a chance here and I have learned a lot every single day. I was a bit intimidated at first but everybody who works here is willing to help with anything I need. I think that because this internship is an entire year long, I will have more exposure to technology and business analysis which will entice potential employers want to hire me. I’m sure that by next May, when the internship ends, I will have an array of talents and I will be able to use those talents to start a career either here at SOA or somewhere else.
